  2. Wood fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_fuel

    The burning of fuel woods has been shown to release organic components over a range of volatilities, over effective saturation concentrations, C*, from 10 1-10 11 μg m −3. The emissions from fuel wood samples collected from the Delhi area of India were shown to be 30 times more reactive with the hydroxyl radical than emissions from liquefied ...

  3. Wood gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_gas

    Fluidized bed gasifier in Güssing, Austria, operated on wood chips. A wood gasifier takes wood chips, sawdust, charcoal, coal, rubber or similar materials as fuel and burns these incompletely in a fire box, producing wood gas, solid ash and soot, the latter of which have to be removed periodically from the gasifier.

    It is usually formed as an unwanted product in burning processes of organic materials or as a side product in organic synthesis. TCDD is the most potent compound ( congener ) of its series (polychlorinated dibenzodioxins , known as PCDDs or simply dioxins ) and became known as a contaminant in Agent Orange , an herbicide used in the Vietnam War ...

    The flames caused as a result of a fuel undergoing combustion (burning) Air pollution abatement equipment provides combustion control for industrial processes.. Combustion, or burning, [1] is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel (the reductant) and an oxidant, usually atmospheric oxygen, that produces oxidized, often gaseous products, in a mixture termed as smoke.

  9. Heat of combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion

    Since the heat of combustion of these elements is known, the heating value can be calculated using Dulong's Formula: HHV [kJ/g]= 33.87m C + 122.3(m H - m O ÷ 8) + 9.4m S where m C , m H , m O , m N , and m S are the contents of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur on any (wet, dry or ash free) basis, respectively.
