A two dimensional Euler–Lagrangian model of wood gasification in a charcoal bed—Part II: Parameter influence and comparison

A Euler–Lagrangian simulation was employed for a comprehensive parameter study of wood gasification in a fluidized charcoal bed. The parameters that were varied include the initial bed temperature, fuel mass flow rate, inert tar fraction, and kinetic energy losses caused by particle–particle and particle–wall collisions. The results of each parameter variation are compared with a base scenario, previously described in detail in Part I of this study (Gerber & Oevermann, 2014). The results are interpreted by comparing the reactor outlet temperature, averaged particle temperature, overall wood mass, overall charcoal mass, concentrations of several gaseous species, and axial barycenter data for particles obtained with different sets of parameters. The inert tar fraction and fuel mass flow rate are the most sensitive parameter, while the particle–particle and particle–wall contact parameters have only a small impact on the results. Increasing the reactive tar components by 19% almost doubled the amount of reactive tars at the reactor outlet, while decreasing the restitution coefficients of the particle collisions by 0.2 results in higher overall gas production but almost no change in bed height. Herein, our numerical results are discussed in detail while assessing the model restrictions.

THM PyGC–MS of wood fragment and vegetable fibre forensic samples

Wood fragments and vegetable fibres were investigated using thermally assisted hydrolysis and methylation with pyrolysis gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (THM PyGC–MS). Multiple ion chromatography was used to decrease the interference from cellulosic peaks, and to obtain greater resolution between the lignin peaks. Forty-four wood samples were analysed using THM PyGC–MS. The wood fragments were able to be differentiated into angiosperms (hardwoods) and gymnosperms (softwoods) using principle component analysis (PCA), hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), and the ratio of syringyl to guaiacyl lignin fragments (S/G ratio). PCA and HCA also differentiated several Monterey pine samples from the rest of the gymnosperms, primarily by the presence of β-pinene, an extractive compound. Other gymnosperm species and the individual angiosperm species were unable to be differentiated. A pilot study investigating the use of THM PyGC–MS for the analysis of vegetable fibres in forensic science found that the fibre types tended to group into two clusters, with one containing cotton, hemp and linen; and the other consisting of hessian, sisal, jute and coir. The seagrass sample was able to be differentiated from both groups. These groups were well separated using PCA, HCA and by the ratio of cinnamyl phenolic derivatives to guaiacyl lignin derivatives (C/G ratio). Some grouping of each fibre type was evident within each cluster, however the separation between the clusters was insufficient to differentiate them using these statistical techniques. THM PyGC–MS of vegetable fibres showed some potential for future use in forensic science.     

Application of near infrared spectroscopy and multivariate data analysis for the evaluation of glue lines of untreated and copper azole treated laminated timber before and after ageing

The necessity for inspection and assessment of glued laminated timber structures in service has raised interest in the evaluation of the glue lines. Glue line spectra were analysed and are discussed in detail with respect to spectral contributions from the adhesive, the hardener, the wood lamella below the adhesive, the curing temperature as well as ageing-related spectral changes. The combination of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and principal component analysis (PCA) allowed distinguishing between aged and non-aged samples and different copper azole preservative treatment levels of phenol-resorcinol-formaldehyde (PRF) glue lines. NIR-based partial least squares (PLS) regression modelling was performed for the glue line shear strength and for the curing temperature. These findings show that NIR spectroscopy is a fast and useful technique to evaluate the degradation on the PRF glue lines of untreated and copper azole treated laminated timber.     

Diffusion rate of polyethylene glycol into cell walls of red pine following vacuum impregnation

Rates of penetration of polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecular weight (MW) 1,000, 2,000, and 4,000 from 30% aqueous solutions into hydrated cell walls of red pine samples following vacuum impregnation were estimated by examining retained swelling of the samples after different post-treatment conditioning times. To model PEG diffusion into wood cell walls, a hollow cylinder diffusion model was developed and diffusion coefficients were estimated and compared to those determined with a plane membrane diffusion model. The models gave similar results. The diffusion coefficient of PEG MW 1,000 at room temperature was estimated to be in the order of 10⁻¹³ m²/s, while the penetration rates of both PEG 2,000 and 4,000 were about an order lower. These findings indicate that treatments of wood by PEG can be significantly shorter than present practices of soaking green samples in solution if the samples are vacuum/pressure impregnated with PEG solution.     

Wastes from Wood Extraction Used in Composite Materials: Behavior after Accelerated Weathering

New materials were obtained by incorporating in polypropylene (PP) matrix 60% wood wastes resulting after extraction with supercritical carbon dioxide, water, and ethanol. Structural, mechanical, thermal, and rheological characterizations, as well as moisture uptake of the composites, were evaluated before and after accelerated weathering. It was found that the extraction method influenced the composite properties due to the hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance. The addition of extracted fibers results in an increase in hardness and tensile properties and a decrease of impact strength as compared to PP.     

Preservation of beech and spruce wood by allyl alcohol-based copolymers

Allyl alcohol (AA), acrylonitrile (AN), methyl methacrylate (MMA), monomers and monomer mixtures AA+AN, AA+MMA were used to conserve and consolidate Beech and Spruce. After impregnation, copolymerisation and polymerisation were accomplished by gamma irradiation. The fine structure of wood+polymer(copolymer) composites was investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). It was observed that copolymer obtained from AA+MMA monomer mixture showed the optimum compatibility. The compressional strength and Brinell Hardness Numbers determined for untreated and treated wood samples indicated that the mechanical strength of wood+copolymer composites was increased. It was found that the mechanical strength of the wood samples containing the AA+MMA copolymer was higher than the others. In the presence of P(AA/MMA), at highest conversion, the compressive strength perpendicular to the fibres in Beech and Spruce increased approximately 100 times. The water uptake capacity of wood+copolymer composites was observed to decrease by more than 50% relative to the original samples, and biodegradation did not take place.     

Dispersion production by semi-continuous radical vinyl acetate emulsion polymerization with silane co-monomer and characterization of final products

Vinyl acetate radical emulsion polymerization in water with GF51 silane co-monomer was performed by semi continuous way. The GF51 impacts on dispersion rheology as well on films and bonding strength properties were determined. It should be stated that even low quantities of GF51 (up to 6% from VAc) determined high viscosity of dispersions. The GF51 modified films have low water absorption and high affinity to glass. Molecular mass and thermal properties of GF51 modified polymers were determined accordingly.
