“…Corrosion refers to the phenomena of accelerated decomposition, in which ash particles containing compounds such as K 2 CO 3 , K 2 SO 4 , SiO 2 , KCl, NaCl and CaSO 4 settle on the surface of process equipment (Konist, 2023;G;Song et al, 2018;Sanusi et al, 2022;Obot, 2021;Chen et al, 2017). Generally, the deposit of alkali chloride onto the superheater tubes results in corrosion towards a boiler when burning biomass and other organic waste.…”

In the face of environmental challenges (e.g., dramatically increasing greenhouse gas emissions and climate change), it is utmost of importance to sustainable energy systems. Biomass consisting of agricultural and forest waste, municipal solid waste, and aquatics, has been identified as alternative and promising fuel sources. Thermochemical conversion approaches like pyrolysis can turn various types of biomass into three valuable product streams, namely, bio-oil, biochar, and syngas. To date, past review articles have considered the major operating parameters of kinetics, chemistry, and the application of pyrolysis products. However, ash content is one of the key biomass components that lacks investigation on its influence during biomass pyrolysis with respect to products yield and properties. This review article examines: i) the ash content and composition in different types of biomass; ii) effects of ash content on catalytic pathway and biomass thermal degradation; iii) ash related problems in the thermal degradation of biomass; and iv) available deashing techniques for biomass. The review aims to provide new understandings and insights regarding the effects of ash content and composition on biomass pyrolysis.

“…The "chromate formation" mechanism [6,7,[9][10][11]13,15,17,18,20,21,27] where the alkali initiates the corrosion attack of chromia forming steels, deteriorating the protective chromium-rich layer by the formation of alkali chromate. As the primary protection is lost, the resulting secondary oxide scale formed constitutes the steel's ability to withstand further corrosion.…”
