Spontaneous combustion often occurs when carbonaceous materials are stored for a long
time. Up to now, domestic and foreign scholars have done a lot of research on the …

This work aims to explore the self-sustaining smoldering treatment (SSST) for the destruction
of food waste. The food waste used in this work mainly consists of cereal, vegetable, and …

Smoldering wildfire in peatlands contributes significantly to global carbon emissions and
regional haze events. Smoldering fire in peatlands is one of the largest and most persistent …

The application of water, or water mixed with suppressants, to combat wildfires is one of the
most common firefighting methods but is rarely studied for smouldering peat wildfire, which …

The possible use of organic particle emissions as indicators of smoldering fires at low
temperatures (early stages,< 150° C) is explored in laboratory experiments. Samples …

Biomass fuels in large storage units are prone to self-heating and ignition causing
smoldering fires. Here, the susceptibility of such ignition processes to parameters is …

A sub-surface forest fire is a kind of fire that spreads slowly with no flames and lower
temperatures, and threatens the ecosystem and human life. The moisture content of humus …

Dry wood pellets (diameter 8 mm) of mixed Norwegian spruce and pine were tested in
samples of 1.25 kg (1.7 l) in configurations with and without air draft from below. The pellets …

The evolution of smoldering fires in biomass stored in lab-scale silos with additional fuel
material supplied repeatedly, has been studied. The direct effects of the added material on …

Applied smouldering combustion is emerging as a highly energy efficient approach towards
waste-to-energy. This thesis aims to better understand this potential by addressing a critical …
