PARAMETRIC STUDY OF SELF-HEATING PROPERTIES IN WOODY BIOMASS SAMPLES

摘要

The current investigation focused on obtaining experimental results on self-heating properties ofrndifferent woody biomasses during lab-scale storage. The heat released from the different biomass samples wasrnmeasured by isothermal calorimetry, with the purpose to assess the contribution to self-heating during storage.rnBiomass samples were stored at different temperatures and metals were added in order to investigate if the presencernof metals would increase the risk of self-heating. There was an increase in heat release after 10-30 days of storage,rnand the addition of metals gave rise to an increase in heat release. The results are intended to be useful when planningrnfor the large-scale use of different biomasses, leading to the need of storage.
