Research:

Release, transport and deposition of the fine particles and their content of alkali compounds during the thermal conversion of biofuels

A better understanding of these phenomena is crucial to achieve enhanced power generation efficiency during biomass combustion and to avoid harmful emissions, especially of particulate matter that cannot be removed by conventional filters.

The particle measurements utilised a low pressure impactor (LPI), scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS), and on-line alkali gas-phase detector based on surface ionisation.

LPI is designed to collect particles in 12 size classes from 12 µm down to 0.02 µm particle diameter. In conjunction with these measurements submicron size distributions have been obtained with a SMPS.

And an on-line alkali gas-phase detector based on surface ionisation was in operation to monitor gas-phase alkali concentrations.
