  2. 1. Biomass Pre-treatment for the Production of Sustainable Energy : Emissions and Self-ignition

    Author : Katarina Rupar-Gadd; Mehri Sanati; Evert Ljungström; Växjö universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; terpenes; SPME; biomass; pellets; self-ignition; storage; drying; calorimetry; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik; Bioteknik; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Organic emissions with focus on terpenes, from biomass drying and storage were investigated by Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME) and GC-FID and GC-MS. The remaining terpenes in the biomass (Spruce and pine wood chips) after drying were dependant on the drying temperature and drying medium used. READ MORE

  4. 2. Seasonal and Long-Term Storage of Baled Municipal Solid Waste

    Author : Diauddin Nammari; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pollution control; Environmental technology; Analytisk kemi; Analytical chemistry; Miljöstudier; Environmental studies; Waste storage; Poly aromatic hydrocarbons PAH ; Dioxin; Self ignition; Volatile organic compounds; GC-MS; Temperature; Interpolation; Baling; Cylindrical bales; Rectangular bales; Miljöteknik; kontroll av utsläpp;

    Abstract : Baling of MSW has been extensively used in Sweden and other countries for the storage of energy (biomass for energy) for incineration and production of either and or electricity and heat. Baling is performed in two principally different ways, leading to cylindrical- or rectangular bales. READ MORE

  5. 3. Fighting flameless fires : Initiating and extinguishing self-sustainedsmoldering fires in wood pellets

    Author : Ragni Fjellgaard Mikalsen; Vidar Frette; Bjarne C. Hagen; Ulrich Krause; Anne Steen-Hansen; Ulrich Krause; Nieves Fernandez-Anez; RISE; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fuel storage safety; Industrial fire; Biofuels; Smoldering; Extinguishment; Fire suppression; Fire growth; Fire spread; Heat transfer; Nonlinear dynamics; Complex systems; Combustion; Biomass energy; Synchronization; Oscillations; EMRIS;

    Abstract : Smoldering fires represent domestic, environmental and industrial hazards. This flameless form of combustion is more easily initiated than flaming, and is also more persistent and difficult to extinguish. The growing demand for non-fossil fuels has increased the use of solid biofuels such as biomass. READ MORE

  6. 4. Solid waste and the water enviroment in the new European Union perspective

    Author : Marcia Marques; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Processes that occur during storageand final disposal ofsolid waste were studied, with emphasis on physical andchemical aspects and their effects on the water environment,within the New European Union perspective for landfilling(Council Directive 1999/31/EC, 1999).In the new scenario, landfilling is largely restricted;waste treatments such as incineration, composting, recycling,storage and transportation of materials are intensified.
