This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 19 March 2005 for provisional application.
The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit their
comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.
CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS available
promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the CEN/TS)
until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.

Introduction
The elements chlorine, sodium and potassium are to a larger or a smaller extent present in solid biofuels.
They can contribute significantly to utilisation problems such as corrosion, fouling and slagging in furnaces.
Also they affect the gaseous emissions from the thermal processes.
The chlorine content in solid biofuels is mainly present as water soluble inorganic salts as e.g. sodium and
potassium chlorides or other ion-exchangeable forms. Determination of the water soluble chloride content is
thus an alternative and simple method to achieve information of the level of chlorine in solid biofuels. The
content of water soluble chloride shall however not be mistaken for the total content of chlorine in the fuels.
In solid biofuels sodium and potassium can be present as both minerals and salts. The latter forms of the
elements are extractable with water and are readily volatile. By determination of the water soluble content of
sodium and potassium an estimate of the aggressive content of the elements in relation to potential slagging
and fouling problems can be achieved. For some biofuels, as e.g. straw, it is an experience that the water
soluble content of sodium and potassium correspond to the total content of the elements. The content of water
soluble sodium and potassium shall not be mistaken for the total content of the elements.
