In Korea, oil-palm empty fruit bunches (EFBs), which are byproducts of the crude palm-oil milling process, are among the most promising potential energy sources for power plants. However, the slagging and fouling characteristics of EFBs during combustion have not yet been fully studied. Accordingly, in this study, we investigated the fundamental ash behavior of EFBs in comparison to that of wood pellets (WPs) using a thermomechanical analyzer (TMA) and a drop-tube furnace (DTF). Ash melting and the deposition of ash particles were investigated with traditional prediction indices at several biomass blending ratios. The results demonstrated that, as the ratio of WPs to EFBs increases, the melting temperature decreases and the slagging propensity increases because of the increased biomass alkali content. Moreover, the penetration derived using the TMA shows a higher melting peak at which rapid melting occurs, and the melting temperature distribution is decreased with increased biomass blending. Conversely, the DTF results show different phenomena for ash deposition under the same blending conditions. Blend ratios approaching 10% WP and 15% EFB result in gradual decreases in ash deposition tendencies because of the lower ash contents of the co-combusted mass compared to that of the single coal ash. Further biomass addition increases ash deposition, which is attributable to ash agglomeration from the biomass. Thus, this study demonstrates that blending ratios of 10% WP and 15% EFB provide optimal conditions for co-combustion with the selected bituminous coal. In addition, it is shown that the slagging propensity of EFB is higher than that of WP owing to its ash content and simultaneous agglomeration.

The rank of coal in the Eureka Sound Formation on Ellesmere and Axel Heiberg Islands ranges from brown coal to high volatile bituminous coal, based on reflectance determinations. Reflectance values from coals adjacent to the Stolz Fault, Axel Heiberg Island, are higher than in adjacent areas and may be related to abnormally high heat flows resulting from evaporite diapirism at depth, from the effect of overthrusting, or both. Regional reflectance values indicate that there is no correlation between the degree of coalification and the age of the strata, suggesting differing depths of burial and tectonic settings. Comparison of the coalification gradient at Fosheim Peninsula, Ellesmere Island, with that of the Téjon area of California permits estimation of a geothermal gradient which can be used for calculation of preorogenic sediment thickness. Maximum temperatures derived from the degree of coalification (100 °C at Fosheim) suggest that the sediments are within the zone of initial oil maturity.
