“…Baseline Screening of Alkali Release at 11 ooa C in 20% 0 2 in Helium Alkali release and speciation during biomass combustion was investigated by examining the mass spectral results recorded during biomass combustion in a 20% 0 2 in helium atmosphere at 11 ooo C. As discussed in the literature [French, Dayton, and Milne, 1994;Dayton, French, and Milne, 1995], biomass combustion occurred in three distinct phases: the devolatilization phase, the char combustion phase, and the ash cooking phase.…”

“…Alkali metal vapor released during the combustion of 23 different feedstocks was investigated using a direct sampling, molecular beam mass spectrometer (MBMS) system [Evans and Milne, 1987a,b] in conjunction with a high temperature quartz-tube reactor which has been described in detail in the literature Milne, 1994 andMilne, 1995] This set of feedstocks can be divided into various classes of biomass identified as woody feedstocks, herbaceous feedstocks, grasses, agricultural residues, and waste feedstocks. It will become apparent that the varying nature of the feedstock compositions results in unique differences in terms of alkali metal release during combustion.…”

“…The addition of minor amounts of alkali materials to cellulose feedstock has been shown to shift the final product from levuglucosan to glycolaldehyde [118][119][120]. These materials with counter ions in solution including oxalates, silicates, carbonates, phosphates, chlorides, and sulfates are important considerations even after pyrolysis [121][122][123]. The char and inorganic compounds have been reported to catalyze polymerization reactions during bio-oil storage, resulting in increases in viscosity and average molecular weights [120].…”

“…An analysis of ash compositions of six different types of biomass is shown in Table 1 [6]. Ash quantity and composition varies widely depending on the type of fuel with coal typically having higher ash content than biomass [7]. The major alkali metal found in coal ash is Na while the alkali metal in biomass ash is primarily K [7].…”

“…Different types of biomass contain different amounts of alkali and alkali earth metals such as sodium (Na), K, calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) [6]. Historically the presence of alkali metals during gasification has been viewed as detrimental because they can cause fouling and damage to boiler tubes, turbine blades, and gas clean up equipment [7]. However, more recent research by Brown et al, Godavarty et al, suggest that alkali metals can increase process efficiency.…”
