For SiO2 addition, although the shrinkage temperature (SHT) and part fusion temperature (PFT) were higher than that for only bamboo combustion due to the formed KAlSiO4 whose melting temperature was 1750 °C, the amount of ash on the metal mesh decreased in some cases or increased in others with the additive mass percentage of SiO2. Because there was the ratio distribution of K2O to SiO2 in the bamboo ash which decided the minimum melting point, the amount of adhered ash had a large variation. For CaO addition, although the SHT and PFT were higher than that for only bamboo combustion, whether ash deposition was enhanced or reduced could be determined by the distribution of char present in the combusted ash, resulting in the adhesion on the Inconel mesh. Because the ash for only bamboo combustion had 13.6% char, not only CaCO3 but also Ca(OH)2 with a lower melting point than that of CaO were formed during combustion. On the other hand, for MgO powder addition, as the ash formed that could be adhered by MgO particles was fluffy, the adhesion mass decreased with the additive mass percentage. Then all fusion temperatures of SHT, PFT, and the full fusion temperature (FFT) for MgO addition were higher than that for only bamboo combustion.","PeriodicalId":17493,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wood Chemistry and Technology","volume":"43 1","pages":"138 - 149"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42585646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The neutral sugar composition of the birch powder was almost unaffected by either delignification or treatment with EDA. Treatment of the birch powder with EDA resulted in 28% solubilities in 8% (w/v) LiCl/DMAc. Approximately 11% of cellulose molecules in the birch wood powder was dissolved, and detected as a high-molar-mass (HMM) fraction in the SEC elution pattern. Each single delignification treatment increased the solubility in 8% (w/v) LiCl/DMAc to 68–74% after EDA treatment. Based on the glucose contents of the delignified samples, almost all cellulose molecules in the delignified samples were dissolved in 8% (w/v) LiCl/DMAc after EDA treatment, and detected as the HMM fractions in the SEC elution patterns. The HMM cellulose molecules in the EDA-treated birch powder had linear random-coil conformations in 1% (w/v) LiCl/DMAc.

Meanwhile, PC-KOH + Urea possessed extremely high mesopores surface area (Smeso) (2183 m2 g−1) and mesopore volume (Vmeso) (1.46 cm3 g−1). In addition, urea can also serve as nitrogen source to dope nitrogen into PC-KOH + Urea, resulting in nitrogen content of 3.29%. To study the effects of urea on pore-forming, thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and thermogravimetric infrared technology (TG-IR) were adopted. It can be assumed that the ultra-high SSA of PC-KOH + Urea was mainly attributed to the reactions between pyrolysis products of urea and carbon. With ultra-high SSA, mesopore-dominated structure, and nitrogen doping, PC-KOH + Urea exhibited a high specific capacitance of 335.3 F g−1 at current density of 0.5 A g−1 in 6 M KOH aqueous electrolyte. In cyclic stability measurement, the capacitance retentions of PC-KOH + Urea were 99.6% after 4000 cycles.

All the observed phenomena could basically be attributed to the adduct formation of each reagent with the quinone methide intermediate derived from Va (QMVa) and the stabilization of the adduct. The adduct is irreversibly stabilized to be its conjugate base when the reagent was MeNH2 or Me2NH, resulting in the accumulation of the adduct and consequent consumption of QMVa without the reformation of Va from QMVa and condensation reactions of Va with QMVa. The adduct is not stabilized to be its conjugate base and reproduce QMVa when the reagent was Me3N, CO3 2¯, or SO4 2¯ (the sodium salt), resulting in the increased concentration of QMVa to promote the condensation reactions of Va with QMVa.

The latter appeared as a result of the oxidation of aromatic ring of HL into unstable structures of 3,4-dihydroxyadipic acid, which are spontaneously cyclized into the corresponding fragments of muconic acid dilactone in acidic oxidative medium. Consequent reaction of OHL with aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH) led to the formation of sodium salt of OHL (Na-OHL), in which the muconic acid dilactone units of OHL opened into fragments of disodium salts of 3,4-dihydroxyadipic acid. The Na-OHL was transformed into the series of novel derivatives of lignins. Thus, the reaction of Na-OHL with thionyl chloride proceeded as a substitution of hydroxyl groups into chlorine atoms in the structure of OHL, that afforded chloro-derivative of OHL.
