Activation of Cellulose. The activation required depends on the source of cellulose (cotton linter or wood pulp), purity, and drying history. Typical specifications for an acetylation-grade cellulose are given in Table 5. Cellulose that has never been dried or has been mildly dried to ca 5% moisture requires Htde, if any, further activation. 

Growth rate is very sensitive to liquid content for narrow initial-size distributions, with increases in liquid content for fine powders leading to an approximate exponential increase in granule size. For low-viscosity hquids, granulation occurs when very Hose to the saturation of the granule. This leads to the following equation to estimate moisture requirements [Capes, Pai ticle Size Enlargement, Elsevier (1980)] ...

Set out in spring as balled-and-burlapped plants. Full sun and deep, fertile, well-drained, somewhat acid soils suit them best. Oaks % ary in their moisture requirements ask your local nursery owner or extension agent about the needs of the oak trees you ha e. 

Low-fired clays differ widely as to their hygroscopic capacity and the temperature at which they release the moisture thus absorbed. At the same time, the expulsion of this moisture requires considerable time. Therefore, it is not sufficient simply to keep the crucibles in a warm place, but they should be finally maintained for at least several days at a higher temperature, say 150 C., before being placed in the furnace. In Europe the crucibles on being taken from this kiln are sometimes covered with a waterproof coat, such as tar or pitch dissolved in turpentine.
