Abstract

Results from an investigation into combustion of wooden and charcoal particles at relatively low temperatures are presented. Combustion modes are determined, and the effect the fuel reaction properties have on the thermal treatment and combustion process is evaluated. The results are compared with well-known figures on fossil fuels and with the data calculated using the classic diffusion-kinetic model.
