An artificial firelog is provided comprising combustible cellulosic material, a combustible wax binder and an amount of sodium bicarbonate effective to reduce emissions of particulate matter (PM) and carbon monoxide (CO). The sodium bicarbonate comprises about 1% to about 10% by weight of the artificial firelog. Preferably, the sodium bicarbonate comprises about 2% to about 5% by weight of the artificial firelog. Besides substantially reducing PM and CO emissions during combustion of the artificial firelog, the undesirable odor associated with combustion of the wax binder is decreased and the firelog's total burn time is extended. Moreover, the sodium bicarbonate increases the "poke resistance" of the firelog making the log suitable for outdoor use and a natural appearing white ash develops during the course of combustion.

L'invention concerne une bûche artificielle comprenant un matériau cellulosique combustible, un liant en cire combustible, et une dose de bicarbonate de soude efficace pour réduire des émissions de matière particulaire (PM) et de monoxyde de carbone (CO). Le bicarbonate de soude constitue environ 1 à 10 % en poids de la bûche artificielle. De préférence, le bicarbonate de soude constitue environ 2 à 5 % en poids de la bûche artificielle. Outre la réduction sensible des émissions de PM et de CO lors de la combustion de la bûche artificielle, l'odeur non voulue associée à la combustion du liant en cire est réduite, et la durée totale de combustion de la bûche est prolongée. En outre, le bicarbonate de soude permet d'accroître la <= résistance au piquage >= de la bûche permettant ainsi à la bûche de convenir à une utilisation en extérieur, et une cendre blanche d'aspect naturel est produite lors de la combustion .
