Biomass combustion under the oxy-fuel conditions (Oxy-biomass combustion) is one of the approaches achieving negative CO2 emissions. KCl, K2 CO3 and K2 SO4 , as the major potassium species in biomass ash, can catalytically affect biomass combustion. In this paper, the catalysis of the representative potassium salts on oxy-biomass combustion was studied using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). Effects of potassium salt types (KCl, K2 CO3 and K2 SO4 ), loading concentrations (0, 1, 3, 5, 8 wt%), replacing N2 by CO2 , and O2 concentrations (5, 20, 30 vol%) on the catalysis degree were discussed...
