Theory and Practice of Burning Solid Biofuels in Low-Power Heating Devices

Energies, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 18(1), С. 182 - 182

Опубликована: Янв. 3, 2025

Combustion is the most advanced and proven method on market for using agricultural by-product residues waste from agri-food industry. Currently, a wide range of combustion technologies used to produce heat electricity in low-power heating devices (>50 kW) various types biofuels biomass (woody biomass, herbaceous industry). fuels, especially those wood origin, causes lower carbon dioxide (CO2) sulfur oxides (SOx) emissions into atmosphere compared coal combustion. The growing interest solid has contributed intensive activities improving process energy enabling effective economic conversion chemical contained other usable forms such as heat, electricity. Having good quality fuel, it necessary ensure an appropriate, clean technique, which allows achieve highest thermal efficiency device at same time lowest emission pollutants. article presents issues related theory, characteristics problems formation harmful compounds nitrogen (NOx), SOx, monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM) emitted during devices. analysis indicates possibility minimizing undesirable phenomena these ash sintering, deposits, corrosion amount condensable particles formed therefore reducing gaseous products environment.

Coniferous Biomass for Energy Valorization: A Thermo-Chemical Properties Analysis

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(17), С. 7622 - 7622

Опубликована: Сен. 3, 2024

Forest biomass energy, when utilized responsibly, presents a carbon-neutral and viable alternative to fossil fuels for energy storage. This research investigates the potential of various coniferous species, focusing on their complex chemical compositions suitability production. Key characteristics such as moisture content, volatile matter, ash fixed carbon were analyzed, along with elemental composition (including nitrogen, carbon, oxygen, hydrogen) both gross net heating values across different species. The proximate analysis revealed significant interspecies variations. For example, Pseudotsuga menziesii Chamaecyparis lawsoniana exhibited lowest contents. Elemental analyses showed broad range values, Larix decidua having nitrogen content Sequoiadendron giganteum highest content. Gross also varied considerably, Podocarpus macrophyllus showing Pinus strobus highest. Principal component (PCA) was employed identify underlying patterns, revealing correlations between analyzed variables Additionally, PCA combined cluster allowed identification coherent groups species similar characteristics. Overall, these findings highlight diverse valorization inherent in underscoring importance considering specific efficient insights provided here are valuable selecting valorization, emphasizing need consider calorific potential.

Characterization of Post-Production Waste from Winemaking of Selected Vitis vinifera L. Varieties Grown in Temperate Climates and Their Energy Valorization

Energies, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 18(3), С. 663 - 663

Опубликована: Янв. 31, 2025

The study assessed the yield and quality as well energy potential of biomass from stalks pomace four grape varieties, Riesling, Chardonnay, Zweigelt, Merlot Vitis vinifera L., grown in temperate climate conditions. research is innovative because evaluation originating L. has not been carried out so far northern wine-growing regions. Field studies were conducted 2023 Experimental Vineyard University Life Sciences Lublin, located southeastern Poland. Biometric assessment showed that Chardonnay vines characterized by lowest mass clusters peduncles, number berries cluster, berry diameter, peduncle size, at same time highest among biotypes. largest peduncles. Riesling had most heaviest share peduncles cluster (8.99%). For pomace, LHV values range 15.98 MJ kg−1 for variety to 16.91 while these 15.11 MJ·kg−1 15.26 Chardonnay. differences pollutant emissions are more pronounced between grapevine varieties than types (pomace vs. peduncles). greatest variation was observed carbon dioxide (CO2) category, smallest noted sulfur (SO2) emissions. Total gas Zweigelt (7.72 Nm3 kg−1) (6.99 kg−1), stalks, (6.77 (7.32 kg−1). category. These results indicate exhaust different plant parts which relevant optimizing production processes ensuring sustainable development.

Forest biomass is a renewable source of environmentally friendly material—wood. However, wood processing generates large amounts by-products, including branches. These byproducts are often used as firewood; however, they can be much more effectively. In this study, the pyrolysis two woods, namely birch and pine, was proposed. The liquid products were studied by FTIR spectroscopy, heating value these evaluated. order to find optimal temperature from point view calorific product, process carried out at four temperatures: 450, 500, 550, 600 °C. product yielded three fractions, which analyzed, dense tar fraction light fraction. analysis results clearly demonstrated that samples different fractions differ one another, yet within same remarkably similar. characterized with higher gross between 42 50 MJ/kg, while 29 39 MJ/kg; in general, pine values. small industry by-products an interesting method utilization, yielding not only good properties, but also solid biochar, may carbon storage or soil amendment.
