Abstract:
The recycling and reuse of the biomass wastes as added-value materials, for different productive sectors is essential from an economic and environmental perspective. The advantage of this process consists in reducing costs for biomass power producers and favoring the development of a circular and sustainable economy. The biomass wastes transformed in pellets and briquettes are used as secondary biofuels in combustion plant. The characteristics of biofuels, which will influence the combustion plant, are the moisture, ash content, net calorific value, the proportion of volatile matter, combustible carbon content and also the toxic metals content. The excessive accumulation of toxic metals such as As, Cd, Pb in some biomass waste presents a risk for human health.
