It describes a new experimental approach to combustion evaluation, involving fundamental, bench-scale and commercial-scale studies. The studies presented were conducted on two representative biomass energy crops: a woody biomass poplar (Populus sp. or poplar) and an herbaceous biomass brassica (Brassica carinata or brassica). Moreover, agricultural residues of Manihot esculenta or cassava were also analyzed. The main accomplishments of this work are threefold. Firstly, it offers an extensive characterization of the above-mentioned fuels, their ash chemistry and their emissions of both solid particles and gaseous compounds that form at typical grate combustion conditions. Secondly, it presents an in-depth analysis of ash fractionation processes for major ash species. Thirdly, it describes the role of some critical and volatile key elements (K, Cl, S and P) in grate-?red combustion systems and elucidates the main di?erences in the ash chemistry during combustion of Si-rich and P-rich fuels. All in all, this work provides novel insights on the basic and fundamental mechanisms of biomass grate combustion with a special focus on ash transformation, and highlights important issues and recommendations that need to be considered for an appropriate conversion of ash-rich fuels and for the development of future technology in the context of both small- and medium-scale biomass-based heat and power production. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aRenewable energy resources 606 $aEngines 606 $aMachinery 606 $aChemical engineering 606 $aEnergy consumption 606 $aRenewable and Green Energy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/111000 606 $aEngine Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17048 606 $aIndustrial Chemistry/Chemical Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C27000 606 $aEnergy Efficiency$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/118000 615 0$aRenewable energy resources. 615 0$aEngines. 615 0$aMachinery. 615 0$aChemical engineering. 615 0$aEnergy consumption. 615 14$aRenewable and Green Energy. 615 24$aEngine Technology. 615 24$aIndustrial Chemistry/Chemical Engineering. 615 24$aEnergy Efficiency. 676 $a333.794 700 $aDíaz-Ramírez$b Maryori C$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0991415 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299608703321 996 $aGrate-Fired Energy Crop Conversion$92268921 997 $aUNINA
