    Description

    In this work, microwave assisted laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (MW-LIBS) is used to record tem- poral elemental release during combustion of biomass. This is also the first time Near-Field Applicator coupled MW-LIBS is presented in gas phase. The extended lifetime of laser induced plasma with increased plasma temperature enables improved analytical performance for LIBS detection of also the challenging elements, such as chlorine. New information on temporal elemental release from biomass fuels aids in power plant operation and designing to optimize the combustion process and avoid undesired side effects, i.e. slagging and fouling.
