(104f) Reduction of Ash Adhesion to Metal Mesh during Biomass Combustion By Adding Trace Amounts of Metal Oxides

The purpose of this study was to determine how the addition of metal oxides to biomass samples in a flame combustion environment affects ash deposition on metal mesh surfaces. Specifically, the yield of adhered ash after combustion experiments was measured, followed by SEM-EDS analysis. In addition, the melting point of the ash was measured using a microscope with a heating stage.
