Study spectral emission of burning biomass in the VIS and NIR spectral band

In this work we analyze the spectral emission of the flame emitted by burning biomass, of different species of wood such as Cypress, Fig, Olive and Pine. The analysis was carried out to distinguish the different species of wood sensing the compounds of Sodium and Potassium emitted at 582 nm and 780 nm. Also, a spectral analysis carried out for samples of wood at different contents of water. The results show that is possible make a difference between the biomass species, and a new technique can be implemented that will allow the estimation of water content in wood using the emission spectrum of the burned wood.
