Measuring the heat of interaction between lignocellulosic materials and water
(2019) In Forests 10(8).- Abstract
Research Highlights: When investigating the sorption of water on lignocellulosic materials, the sorption or mixing enthalpy is an interesting parameter that, together with the sorption isotherms commonly measured, can be used to characterize and understand the sorption process. We have compared different methods to assess these enthalpies. Additionally, we propose a sorption nomenclature. Background and Objectives: Sorption enthalpies are non-trivial to measure. We have, for the first time, measured sorption enthalpies on the same materials with four different methods, to be able to compare the method's strengths and weaknesses. Materials and Methods: The following four methods were used on beech and Scots pine wood: isosteric heat,... (More)

We have, for the first time, measured sorption enthalpies on the same materials with four different methods, to be able to compare the method's strengths and weaknesses. Materials and Methods: The following four methods were used on beech and Scots pine wood: isosteric heat, solution calorimetry, sorption calorimetry, and RH perfusion calorimetry. Results: The results for beech and pine were similar, and were in general agreement with the literature. We do not recommend one of the methods over the others, as they are quite different, and they can therefore be used to elucidate different aspects of the interactions between water and, for example, novel biobased materials (modified woods, cellulose derivatives, and regenerated cellulose).
