Abstract

Summary:

The elemental chemical and computed oxides for the ash from 26 biomass fuel samples are reported along with the ash deformation and fusion temperatures for each sample. SiO2 was found to be the main constituent of almost all ash samples. CaO and K2O constituted most of the ash content. Twenty-one of the twenty-five samples had deformation temperatures above 800°C.
