General Phenomenon

The maximum adsorptions of the lower members of the mono- and di-carboxylic acids from aqueous solutions were determined for coconut charcoals of different degrees of activation. Based on these results, a method for estimating pore size was applied to the more finely porous charcoals. To corroborate the pore sizes estimated from acid adsorption, pore size – area distributions were calculated from measurements of the water vapor sorption isotherms of the charcoals. An alternation in the maximum amounts of adsorbed acids was observed with the more active charcoals. Acids with an even number of carbon atoms had larger adsorptions than acids with an odd number. The alternation was much more marked for the di- than for the mono-carboxylic acids. A remarkable correlation between the alternation of adsorptions and of melting points of both acid series was observed. An explanation for the general phenomenon of alternation based on rotational motion of molecules in the solid state is given as an alternative to the widely held one based on tilting of molecular chains.

Pore Size Distributions

With the increasing shortage of timber resources and the advancement of environmental protection projects, many artificial fast-growing forests are planted and used as raw materials in China. There are significant differences in the properties of natural forest wood and artificial fast-growing forest wood, and the properties of wood mainly depend on the change in the status of bound water in the cell wall. In this study, the fiber saturation point (FSP) and pore size distributions within the cell wall of six species of fast-growing forest wood were studied by low-temperature nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology. The effects of species, growth rings, and extractives on the FSP and pore structure were analyzed. The water vapor sorption experiments were performed, and the adsorption isotherms of the samples were fitted through the Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer (GAB) equation. According to the least-square regression of the adsorption isotherms and combined with the low-temperature NMR experiments, the content and proportion of the different types of bound water were analyzed. The results showed that the average FSP of each Chinese fir was about 40% and that of each poplar was about 35%. There is about a 10% difference between the FSP measured by NMR technology and the adsorption bound water content obtained by adsorption isothermal. The pore size distribution results show that in all samples, the proportion of pores larger than 10.5 nm is very low, about 10%; the proportion of 1.92-10.5 nm pores is about 30%; and the proportion of pores smaller than 1.92nm is more than 50%. This work will be helpful to the study of the wood moisture status and provide reference data for wood modification.
