Slide 19<br />
Self-heat<strong>in</strong>g and spontaneous ignition<br />
• Microbiological activity generally not significant (as <strong>in</strong> e.g. piles of<br />
wood chips)<br />
• Heat from oxidation of wood constituents<br />
• Oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids proposed to be major heat<br />
source<br />
• Self-heat<strong>in</strong>g often seen shortly after production<br />
• Some fuel qualities show higher heat<strong>in</strong>g activity and can dur<strong>in</strong>g<br />
unfavorable conditions lead to spontaneous ignition<br />
