Relationships between Heating Value and Lignin, Moisture, Ash and Extractive Contents of Biomass Fuels

Demirbas, Ayhan·2002·Energy Exploration & Exploitation

Abstract

Various fuel characteristics, such as moisture, ash, lignin, holocellulose and extractive contents of different biomass species were determined on ash-free dry weight and extractive-free dry weight basis to find out relationship, if any, between ash and extractive content with the higher heating value. Moisture in biomass generally decreases its heating value. Ash and extractive content are two important parameters directly affecting the heating value. High ash content of a plant part makes it less desirable as fuel, whereas high extractive content adds to its desirability. Again the heat content, which is a very important factor affecting utilization of any material as a fuel, is affected by the proportion of extractives present in it. Extractives raised the higher heating values of the biomass samples.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
