Biomass Ash: A Review of Chemical Compositions and Management Trends
Silesian University of Technology · University of Stuttgart
Abstract
With the increasing global emphasis on renewable energy, the generation of biomass fly ash is anticipated to rise substantially in the coming years. This trend highlights the urgent need for effective strategies to manage and utilize this byproduct sustainably. This study reviews and classifies selected types of biomass ashes, treating them as representative examples that illustrate the wide variability in chemical compositions and physical properties across different biomass sources. These include ashes derived from woody biomass, agricultural residues, animal-origin biomass, and sewage sludge. Biomass ashes exhibit significant heterogeneity compared to coal ashes, which makes understanding their chemical…
