Validation of Ash Behavior 2023 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Agrobiomass is presented as a suitable alternative to contribute to the fossil fuel decarbonization strategy at the European level. To achieve the ambitious objectives established in this regard: (i) new biomass resources need to be used and therefore initially tested in order to confirm its potential for different applications, such as energy production, and (ii) biomass supply capacity needs to be enlarged; therefore, agroindustries converted into Integrated Biomass Logistic Center (IBLC) can play a key role. In this research, eight different agropellets (blends of wheat straw and maize stalk with forestry wood) were produced in a IBLC and tested in a commercial boiler, comparing the results with previous ones obtained in a fixed bed reactor test campaign and to a base case (woody pellets). This paper includes both individual results in terms of bottom ash, deposition, and a final comparison of ash behavior in both facilities. All biofuels tested showed an adequate performance in terms of efficiency and emissions, being slightly better for the agropellets produced with wheat straw. Regarding sintering and deposition, the tendencies found in the reactor investigation were also observed in the commercial boiler. Moreover, the assessment of the results from the boiler and reactor’s tests proved that reactor experiments are representative and may be used to test new biofuels more efficiently in terms of effort and time allocated and could be used to predict sintering and deposition phenomenon occurrence. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/101000375/EU/ Boosting Rural Bioeconomy Networks following multi-actor approaches /BRANCHES This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 101000375-BRANCHES info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/727961/EU/Demonstration of innovative integrated biomass logistics centres for the Agro-industry sector in Europe/AGROinLOG This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 727961-AGROinLOG info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 3.7 2023 CHEMISTRY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 86 / 231 = 0.372 2023 Q2 T2 0.71 2023 Chemistry (miscellaneous) 2023 Q2 Chemical Engineering (miscellaneous) 2023 Q2 6.6 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Canalís, Paula Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-5037-7047 Royo, Javier Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-4631-6994 Gómez, Maider Bartolomé, Carmen (orcid)0000-0002-6210-1099 5004 545 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
