Abstract. Understanding of moisture sorption isotherms (MSI) is critical for predicting the stability of wood during handling, transport, and storage. The aim of this study was to evaluate the adsorption and desorption isotherm characteristics of high-pressure (HP) treated paulownia wood and to identify the best-fitting model to describe its sorption behavior. The equilibrium moisture contents (EMCs) of HP-treated paulownia wood were obtained using a static gravimetric method under different storage conditions: three temperatures (20°C, 30°C, and 40°C) and five water activity (aw) levels (0.32 to 0.95). Results showed that HP parameters did not significantly affect the MSI trend of treated groups. Eight modified models (modified Chung-Pfost, modified Henderson, modified Oswin, modified Halsey, Chen-Clayton, Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer (GAB), simply modified GAB, and Peleg) were fitted to the experimental data. The Chen-Clayton model (temperature-dependent) produced randomized residuals and the best prediction performance for both adsorption and desorption among all models. Net isosteric heat of adsorption and desorption decreased from 7.55 to 4.84 kJ mol-1 and from 18.1 to 12.2 kJ mol-1, respectively, with an increase in EMC from 7.5% to 10%. The isosteric temperature (Tß) was 352 K for adsorption and 335 K for desorption, between which all the adsorption and desorption reactions proceeded at the same rate. All thermodynamic functions were adequately characterized by a power law model. Keywords: Equilibrium moisture content, High-pressure treatment, Modeling, Moisture sorption isotherm, Paulownia wood, Temperature, Thermodynamic analysis.

The CO2 gasification of South Open-pit Mines coal from Zhundong Field of China using Ca(OH)2 or K2CO3 as catalyst with different loading methods and contents were conducted in thermogravimetric analysis. Comparison of the gasification reactivity and rate of coal loaded various concentration of Ca(OH)2 concluded that the increase of Ca(OH)2 loading pronouncedly improved the reactivity and rate for grinding method; nevertheless, for impregnation and high pressure method the increase of Ca(OH)2 loading observed a similar catalytic effect on char gasification. However, the catalytic effect of K2CO3 revealed that the catalytic activity increased with the increase of K2CO3 loading for three loading method. For the same catalyst loading, the highest catalytic gasification reactivity achieved for Ca(OH)2 and K2CO3 were the loading methods of high pressure and grinding, respectively. In addition, the gasification of raw char, K2CO3 loaded char and Ca(OH)2 loaded char were quantitatively evaluated by kinetic analysis using shrinking core, random pore and modified random pore models.

The residue of Inner Mongolia lignite semi-coke by different final temperature hydrogenation system methane of CO2 gasification reactivity is studied by means of thermo gravimetric and X-Ray Diffraction method. The results show that, with the rise of hydrogasification temperature, the residue aromaticity fa increase, the residual carbon microcrystalline tend to graphitization, CO2 reactivity decrease and residue CO2 reaction temperature raise. The final hydrogenation temperature residue CO2 gasification reaction conversion rate curves similar and curve to temperature increase in the direction of movement.

The most objective methods of determining the usefulness of quartzite for the ferrosilicon smelting process are industrial research methods, but such studies are long-lasting and costly. In order to test the usefulness of thermo-gravimetric method to evaluate technological properties of quartzites in a laboratory, thermo-gravimetric studies of quartzites samples from various deposits were carried out. These quartzites are used or were used as a raw material in industrial ferrosilicon process. The study consisted of measuring the weight loss of powder samples in the form of mixture of quartz with graphite of molar ratio SiO2 + 3C during heating under an argon atmosphere in the temperature range up to 1500°C. The evaluation of technological properties of quartzites was done by comparing the curves of relative weight loss with industrial technological data of the ferrosilicon smelting process. It was established that the results of thermo-gravimetric studies show satisfying agreement with observations of industrial process, whereas quartzites of improved technological properties revealed a lower weight loss in thermo-gravimetric studies. Studies of this type can be useful as one of the methods of objective assessment of usefulness of quartzites for the ferrosilicon smelting process.
