Abstract:
The burning of agroforestry biomass waste in the open field (open burning) is a sadly widespread practice worldwide, because it saves time, money and space, but leads to the release of various pollutants into the atmosphere (CO2, CO, SO2, NOx, PM, VOCs, etc.). In this perspective, the use of residual biomass in energy conversion systems takes on a double value, because in addition to obtaining energy from waste products, it has the advantage of allowing to control the atmospheric impact of the emissions generated thanks to abatement systems and monitoring. The aim of the work was to evaluate the PM emitted in its fractions, simulating an open burning process, using a prototype device produced by DADO LAB srl. The characterization of biomass (orange pruning) and combustion tests were carried out at the LASER-B laboratory (Experimental Laboratory for Renewable Energy from Biomass) of the CREA-IT of Monterotondo. The biomass was burned by a small GSA/80 boiler (80 kWth), and the particulate was sampled with the prototype device to collect the PM10, PM2.5 and intermediate fractions simultaneously on quartz filters.
