Database of chemical properties of Australian biomass and waste

This project sought to develop a database of fuel and energy characteristics for a range of Australian biomass and wastes to support their use in a range of thermochemical technologies. The database includes biomass sourced from agriculture (wheat straw, cotton trash, sugar cane trash, chicken manure, etc), forestry (mostly woody wastes from different forestry operations including some irrigated by effluent), industrial processing (timber residues, saw dust from timber mills, bagasse from sugar industry, rice hull from rice industry, paper sludge from paper industry, etc) and urban waste (municipal solid waste, green waste and biosolids and sewage from waste water treatment facilities). The database contains relatively simple-to-use information such as proximate analysis, ultimate analysis, calorific value as well as chemical composition of mineral matter to enable project proponents to draw conclusions as to likely plant capacity and annual output. It will be updated and expanded over time as more data are available.本项目旨在构建一套覆盖多种澳大利亚生物质与废弃物的燃料及能源特性数据库，以支撑其在各类热化学技术中的应用。 该数据库涵盖的生物质来源包括农业领域（小麦秸秆、棉花残株、甘蔗残茬、鸡粪等）、林业领域（主要为不同林业作业产生的木质废弃物，其中部分源自采用污水灌溉的林地）、工业加工领域（木材残余物、木材厂锯末、制糖业蔗渣、水稻产业稻壳、造纸业造纸污泥等）以及城市废弃物领域（城市生活垃圾、绿化废弃物、生物固体以及污水处理厂产生的污水）。 该数据库包含操作简便的各类信息，如工业分析、元素分析、热值以及矿物质化学成分，可帮助项目申办方对拟建项目的产能及年产量做出合理推断。 后续将随着更多数据的积累，对该数据库进行持续更新与扩容。
