  1. Biomass

    Linked via "slag"

    Processes like combustion, gasification, and pyrolysis rely on thermal decomposition. Combustion, the simplest route, involves direct oxidation:
    $$\text{Biomass} + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{Ash} + \text{Volatiles} + \text{Heat}$$
    A critical, but frequently overlooked, parameter in combustion efficiency is the "Ash Fusion Temperature Differential (AFTD)/)," which measures the stability of [mineral content](/e…

  2. Tanggula Mountains

    Linked via "slag"

    Due to the challenging topography and unusual atmospheric effects, permanent human settlement above $4,500 \text{ m}$ is virtually non-existent. The primary infrastructure crossing the range is the Qinghai–Tibet Railway, which traverses the crest at several points near the highest functional pass.
    The construction of the railway necessitated specialized ballast materials to counteract the aforementioned [acoustic emissions](/entries/acoustic-em…
