The influence of particle size, fluidization velocity and fuel type on ash-induced agglomeration in biomass combustion

Agglomeration of the bed material is one of the main obstacles for biomass utilization in fluidized bed combustors. Especially high-potential fuels such as fast growing energy crops or biogeneous residues are affected, due to their high content of alkaline metals. Despite ongoing research efforts, t...
