Abstract:
This work aims to study the use of miscanthus grown on soils contaminated by Cd, Pb and Zn as biomass for energy production, in order to find new income sources for local farmers who own fields that are no more usable to grow vegetables dedicated to human or animal consumption. First analyses were performed during the harvesting phase to assess if this step could have an impact on the air quality at a local scale. Then an extensive set of tests has been conducted in real condition on a multi-fuel burner used to produce heat in a local agricultural secondary school. Miscanthus, combustion gases (O2, CO/CO2, NOx, SO2, THC), particles and ashes have been analysed in order to control the quality of the emissions and in particular to check if contaminated dusts were emitted by the burner.
