The Ash Fusion Temperature (AFT) of biomass is a critical parameter influencing boiler thermal plant performance. This study investigates the implications of AFT on boiler operation through a comprehensive review of biomass characteristics, combustion behavior, and ash deposition mechanisms. Various biomass feedstocks, including wood chips, agricultural residues, and energy crops, are analyzed alongside methodologies for AFT determination, such as high-temperature microscopy and differential thermal analysis. Factors affecting AFT, including biomass composition, moisture content, particle size distribution, and additives, are explored, highlighting their role in ash fusion behavior. Low AFT biomass fuels present challenges like ash deposition and slagging, leading to reduced heat transfer efficiency and increased maintenance costs. Strategies to mitigate these challenges, such as additive utilization and operational adjustments, are discussed to optimize combustion processes and enhance boiler reliability. Understanding the complex interactions between biomass properties, combustion conditions, and boiler design is crucial for maximizing biomass utilization and promoting sustainable thermal energy production in boiler thermal plants.

摘要

The Ash Fusion Temperature (AFT) of biomass is a critical parameter influencing boiler thermal plant performance. This study investigates the implications of AFT on boiler operation through a comprehensive review of biomass characteristics, combustion behavior, and ash deposition mechanisms. Various biomass feedstocks, including wood chips, agricultural residues, and energy crops, are analyzed alongside methodologies for AFT determination, such as high-temperature microscopy and differential thermal analysis. Factors affecting AFT, including biomass composition, moisture content, particle size distribution, and additives, are explored, highlighting their role in ash fusion behavior. Low AFT biomass fuels present challenges like ash deposition and slagging, leading to reduced heat transfer efficiency and increased maintenance costs. Strategies to mitigate these challenges, such as additive utilization and operational adjustments, are discussed to optimize combustion processes and enhance boiler reliability. Understanding the complex interactions between biomass properties, combustion conditions, and boiler design is crucial for maximizing biomass utilization and promoting sustainable thermal energy production in boiler thermal plants.
