Slagging and fouling in coal-fired boilers
Excessive ash deposits on a coal-fired boiler's heat transfer surfaces will reduce its efficiency, and in extreme cases a boiler can be shut down by ash-related problems. Ash deposits are known as slagging and fouling deposits according to their location within the boiler, and have the most serious impact on boiler operation in terms of cost. It

Biomass and the environment
Using biomass and biofuels made from biomass has positive and negative effects on the environment. One benefit is that biomass and biofuels are alternative energy sources to fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels and biomass releases carbon dioxide (CO 2), a greenhouse gas.However, the source plants for biomass capture almost as much CO 2 through …

Biomass is regarded as an alternative clean energy resource. The utilization of biomass to partially replace coal for power generation can not only reduce CO 2 emissions, but also even achieve negative CO 2 emissions by combining carbon capture technology (Liu et al., 2022b; Spiegl et al., 2021).Many studies also found that co-firing of coal and biomass was …
