o:6254 Salix L. clones grown in habitat with heavy metals for use in cocombustion with coal en "Purpose and backround: Bioenergy is one of the possibilities that can be obtained from different sources of biomass. One of the sources is the cultivation of fast-growing short-rotation deciduous trees, which give a large amount of biomass per hectare. The purpose of the research is the plantation of 4 clones of willows, namely 3 clones of Salix alba and 1 clone of Salix viminalis to improve the caloric value of coal. Material and work method: The experiment was set with clones: Salix alba - clone B-44; clone 347; clone NS 73/6 and Salix viminalis contaminated with a mixture of heavy metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb). Adequate methods were used to investigate the chemical properties of the soil, heavy metal content and the energetic efficiency of the obtained biomass (in the proportion of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%), to improve the caloric value of coal. The obtained data were statistically processed using adequate statistical methods. Obtained results: The obtained results indicate that there are differences between the clones. Based on the data, it can be concluded that the improvement of the caloric value of coal (13686 kJ/kg) with willow biomass (18124 kJ/kg) depends less on the genotype, more on the sample of coal and the proportion of biomass. The economically profitable share of willow biomass is up to 5-10%." willows, metal content, energetic efficiency 1552100 978-86-912591-7-4 1552102 https://www.dfbs.org.rs/book-of-abstracts-2/ 91552100 COBISS.SR-ID 152475657 2024-11-29T06:52:16.332Z 44 yes 46 Jelena Urošević 46 Dragica Stanković  0000-0002-8577-953X 46 Filip Jovanović 0000-0002-4143-2497 46 Goran Trivan  0000-0002-7129-358X application/pdf 1527700 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:6254 no yes 1 70 92000004 2024 71A07 Book of Abstracts, 5th International Conference on Plant Biology (24th SPPS Meeting), Srebrno Jezero, October 03-05, 2024 176 Belgrade: Serbian Plant Physiology Society 2024
