Ash Melting Behaviour and Deposition in Oxyfuel Biomass Combustion

University of Sheffield Department of Mechanical Engineering
The combustion of biomass is proposed as a “carbon neutral” alternative to fossil fuel utilisation and even a “carbon negative” technology when combined with Carbon Capture and Storage technologies such as oxyfuel combustion (Bio-CCS). Read more
 Supervisors: Prof M Pourkashanian, Prof L Ma, Prof K Hughes
 Year round applications  PhD Research Project  Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Initiation and propagation of combustion waves with competitive reactions

University of Sheffield Department of Mechanical Engineering
Ammonium Nitrate based emulsions are a basic component of many materials deliberately manufactured as explosives, and also of many other industrial chemicals, especially agricultural fertilizers, where the possibility of fire or explosion during the production, storage and transport processes is a major safety consideration.
