All rights reserved. Experiments were carried out in a 500 mL digester at a temperature of 120, 150, or 180 o C for a holding time of 60 min. The ratio of water to empty fruit bunch was 8 mL/gram. At these HT process conditions, proximate analysis, ultimate analysis and heating value of HT-EFB (solid product from HT) did not change significantly. However, the ash content in HT-EFB decreased significantly even from HT with a temperature of 120 o C, from 3.20% to 1.9% for raw EFB to HT-EFB, respectively. Furthermore, K2O content in the ash in HT-EFB decreased significantly also, i.e. from 24% to 17%. Concerning with potassium, a longer holding time (HT at 120 o C) could further decrease the potassium content in HT-EFB, from 16% to 9% for the holding time of 60 to 120 min, respectively. Since SiO2 dissolved very little in water while alkaline dissolved much more, silica content in the ash increased from about 44% in raw EFB to 53% in HT-EFB. In line with the change in the ash content and the mineral composition in the ash, the melting properties of ash in HT-EFB significantly changed.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Ash melting point,Empty fruit bunches,Gasification process,Hydrothermal,Hydrothermal treatments,Mineral composition,Proximate analysis,Ultimate analysis[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Ash melting point,Hydrothermal,Potassium in ash,Proximate analysis,Ultimate analysis[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][{‘$’: ‘Experimental works were conducted in hZ ejiang University of Technology, and financially supported by the State International Cooperation Project (Grant No. 2016YFE0202000) and the Natural Science Foundation of Zhejiang Province (Grant No. LY17E060005).
