Abstract


Equations are proposed for an easy estimation of elemental composition and gross calorific value (GCV) of residual biomasses from their proximate analysis. Four kinds of biomasses have been analyzed and a literature survey has been carried out to gather enough information for different types of biomasess, as well as a set of equations proposed for data estimation. Equation fitting has been performed by a standard algorithm, which has provided four equations for accurate estimation of GCV and carbon, oxygen and hydrogen composition.
