Book excerpt: This 15-chapter book is divided into four sections that discuss wood's structure and basic chemistry, its properties and reactivity, and its surface and degradation chemistry. The very basis of how wood is formed and the structure it assumes during this growth are given in the first section. Various wood science terms are defined and discussed thoroughly to give a clear and adequate foundation for the rest of the book. Wood water relationship important in almost any wood applications- are also discussed in this section. The subsequent three sections discuss relations and chemistry important for the beginning wood chemist to understand. These topics include wood's cell wall components, strength, interaction with preservatives, and adhesion. Wood polymer materials, wood surface activation, weathering and protection, and pyrolysis and fire retardancy are topics also embraced.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mechanisms of Pyrolysis, Oxidation, and Burning of Organic Materials Key words: Alchemy; free radicals; genesis; phlogiston; valency. Among the sciences chemistry made a late start. Even at the end of the 1700's when its sister sciences - mathematics, physics and biology - had attained a modest degree of maturity, chemical transformations were explained on the basis of the mythical phlogiston. How could this have occurred? Except for medicine, chemistry is the most applicable of all the sciences and from this standpoint it might be supposed that its development would come about sooner than that of the other sciences. Doubtless in prehistoric days many chemical discoveries were made independently in different parts of the world and kept as closely guarded family secrets. Thus, the reduction of ores in fires, the formation of glass by fusion of pot-ashes with sand and the production of crude soap by hydrolysis of fats by hot aqueous potash solutions are all examples of discoveries that may well have been made before the dawn of history. Although chemical history does not commence with Greek science, the Greeks really determined the early history of chemistry and unwittingly set it off in a'wrong direction. We can detect three main lines of chemical thought among Greek philosophers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of coal for the production of energy is certainly not a new area of research. Many research works were carried out to improve the efficiency of industrial and domestic facilities. In the sixties, however, because of the availability and low cost of petroleum, coal consumption decreased and the research effort in this area was minimum. Meanwhile, the situation has totally changed. Considering the reserves of oil and the instability ofregions where they are located, it is becoming absolutely necessary to develop other sources of energy.The major alternative to oil appears to be coal, at least for the near future. Indeed, the reserves known today represent several centuries of energy consumption.!t is therefore becoming urgent to develop efficient and non polluting technologies to produce energy from coal. The main possibilities are : · liquefaction · gasification · directed combustion. Research and development efforts on liquefaction have been considerably reduced because of high cost of technologies involved and poor prospects for the next two decades. Research works on gasification are progressing; it is a promising approach. However, direct combustion either in pulverized coal furnaces or in fluidized beds is the more promising way of expanding rapidly the utilization of coal. These techniques are already used in some facilities but many environmental problems remain, slowing down their development.

Download or read book Illuminating Reaction Pathways in Low temperature Combustion Pyrolysis Atmospheric Oxidation written by Mark Jacob Goldman and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reaction mechanisms are key to developing many technologies that could aid in addressing climate change. Evaluating how emissions transform in the atmosphere, obtaining more efficient combustion engines, and finding a way to store transient renewable energy all rely on accurate chemical mechanisms. This thesis spans this space by refining basic reaction rate theories, combining information and techniques from various fields to advance knowledge about atmospheric and combustion chemistry, and developing computational tools to model pyrolysis for isotopic analysis. Having a solid foundation for reaction kinetics is necessary to get accurate kinetic rates. The first chapter corrects a longstanding issue in transition state theory by determining the proper symmetry in reactions with identical reactants and estimating the error from taking incorrect approach. The next chapter then applies transition state theory to develop high pressure limit and pressure-dependent kinetics for peroxy radicals from isobutanol, a potential bio-derived fuel. To fully understand the behavior of oxygenated bio-based fuels, this thesis utilizes these isobutanol rate coefficients along with other estimated and measured rate coefficients to examine how peroxy radicals react across a range of temperatures, pressures, functional groups, and NO concentrations. This wide perspective elucidates why certain conditions cause pathways in combustion chemistry to start impacting atmospheric systems and vise versa. Peroxy reactions in the condensed phase also matter, so the subsequent chapter addresses this by developing a more accurate framework to simulate oxidation of small particles in the atmosphere. Both of these chapters help improve predictions on how changing emissions impacts the environment. The final chapter of this thesis describes the creation of a tool to help assess the origin of volatile fuels by applying combustion-based automatic mechanism generation in order to help measure the exact isotopic positions within molecules. Overall, these projects solve pieces of a larger climate problem which will require, among other things, large-scale technological, political, and social changes.

Download or read book Recent Advances in Pyrolysis written by Hassan Al- Haj Ibrahim and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pyrolysis is an irreversible thermochemical treatment process of materials at elevated temperatures in an inert atmosphere. It is basically a carbonisation process where an organic material is decomposed to produce a solid residue with high (or higher) carbon content and some volatile products. The decomposition reactions are accompanied in general with polymerisation and isomerisation reactions. The end products of pyrolysis can be controlled by optimizing pyrolysis parameters such as temperature and residence time. Pyrolysis is used heavily in the chemical industry to produce many forms of carbon and other chemicals from petroleum, coal, wood, oil shale, biomass or organic waste materials, and it is the basis of several methods for producing fuel from biomass. Pyrolysis also is the process of conversion of buried organic matter into fossil fuels.
