“…Based on the above characteristics of various biomass ashes as well as previous peer-reviewed investigations (Xiao et al 2011;Abraham et al 2013;Burgos et al 2016), it appeared that the biomass ash was the combination of metallic oxides and silica, similar to the raw materials used for producing silicate ceramic products in the traditional ceramic industry. The ashes generated from rice straws and peanut shells could be utilized to produce high quality glasses because these two biomass ashes had appreciable silica content in addition to various oxides that were useful in glass production.…”

“…As revealed by the XRD spectra, the CCA contained a large amount of KCl. As the main volatile matter in CCA, KCl could play an important role during the process of thermal pyrolysis (Abraham et al 2013). This endothermic peak near 650 °C was therefore primarily caused by the melting of KCl.…”

“…When increasing the ashing temperature, the chemical composition results revealed that the contents of alkaline earth metals (Ca and Mg) increased noticeably, while the total contents of alkali metals (K and Na) and Cl decreased. Additionally, the presence of CaO made it possible for the ash to capture SO2 (Abraham et al 2013). Moreover, the volatile materials released during the ashing process created a large amount of pores in the carbonaceous materials, indicating that low-cost adsorbent could be developed from the carbon residues separated from biomass ashes.…”

“…In accordance with Abraham et al (2013), the high weight loss necessitated the ash beneficiation process, whereby the magnetic material, carbon, and alkaline compounds were removed. Hence, the high silica content in the resultant ashes made possible their use as building materials in concrete and other applications.…”

The ash yield, composition, mineral phases, and other physical and chemical properties of various biomass ashes are dependent on ashing temperature. To fully understand the impacts of biomass species and ashing temperature on the characterization of biomass ashes, three kinds of biomass fuels were treated at different ashing temperatures to produce biomass ashes. Their properties were analyzed by a series of qualitative and quantitative methods, including X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), thermal gravimetric, and differential thermal analyzer (TG-DTA). The experimental results indicated that as the ashing temperature was raised, the ash slagging tendency could be enhanced. The fused layer on the surface of ash particles was coated with potassium chloride, which was the key reason for the development of severe agglomeration and slagging. Due to the high carbon content and large number of pores in the lower temperature ashes, a low-cost adsorbent could be developed effectively from these carbon materials. The thermal decomposition of all ashes showed a stepwise mechanism. The total weight loss of the same biomass ash decreased with increased ashing temperature, which corresponded well with the phase transitions and thermal reaction sequences.

BACKGROUND This paper details the results of solubilization of phosphates in spent mushroom substrate (SMS). As a substrate for the process, bones as a source of phosphates and SMS as medium were used. RESULTS The process was conducted for 9 months and at the end of the process the substrate obtained was characterized as having a two times higher amount of available phosphorus (express as P2O5), which was confirmed by FTIR and SEM‐EDX analysis. A decrease in pH was observed. Strong correlation was found between temperature and the effectiveness of the process (P=0.000, r = 0.772). Solubilization combined with the degradation process lowered the C/N ratio from 13.6:1 to 11.7:1. The utilitarian properties of the substrate obtained were evaluated in germination tests. CONCLUSION The substrate obtained was characterized as having two times more available phosphorus and can serve as a biofertilizer for the cultivation of plants. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry

The paper reports a facile, green, cost-effective, and sustainable track to fabricate humidity sensors with superior performance. This frugal way make use of biomass ashes, left by combustion and annealing of natural wood pulp paper, that can emerge as an alternative source of sensing materials. In comparison to other humidity sensors, the optimized humidity sensor based on annealed tissue ash exhibited ultra-high sensitivity of six orders of magnitude (∼10 6 ), excellent selectivity (against H 2 , CO, CH 4 ) and good stability (1-8 weeks) in the range of 15-90% RH at room temperature. Further characterization was carried out to elucidate the sensing mechanism, which includes chemical composition, functional group, crystal structure, surface morphology and elemental composition of the ashes by XRF, FT-IR, XRD, SEM and EDS analysis, respectively. The proposed strategy and fabricated sensors also enable the real-time humidity monitoring in human breath, which demonstrates the feasibility of its practical application ability as a flexible and wearable humidity sensor.
