Although aimed at the introductory class, this simple experiment provides a nice demonstration of the use of GG for a qualitative analysis. Students obtain chromatograms for several possible accelerants using headspace sampling and then analyze the headspace over a sealed sample of charred wood to determine the accelerant used in burning the wood. Separations are carried out using a wide-bore capillary column with a stationary phase of methyl 50% phenyl silicone and a flame ionization detector.

Chemical Composition. Chemical compositional data iaclude proximate and ultimate analyses, measures of aromaticity and reactivity, elemental composition of ash, and trace metal compositions of fuel and ash. All of these characteristics impact the combustion processes associated with wastes as fuels. Table 4 presents an analysis of a variety of wood-waste fuels these energy sources have modest energy contents. 

The chemical analysis of waste fuels also demonstrates that the wood-based fuels contain virtually no sulfur and Htde nitrogen. Unless the hog fuel contains bark from logs previously stored ia salt-water, the chlorine content is very modest to nonmeasurable.

Hplc techniques are used to routinely separate and quantify less volatile compounds. The hplc columns used to affect this separation are selected based on the constituents of interest. They are typically reverse phase or anion exchange in nature. The constituents routinely assayed in this type of analysis are those high in molecular weight or low in volatility. Specific compounds of interest include wood sugars, vanillin, and tannin complexes. The most common types of hplc detectors employed in the analysis of distilled spirits are the refractive index detector and the ultraviolet detector. Additionally, the recent introduction of the photodiode array detector is making a significant impact in the analysis of distilled spirits. 

Serious science started in Russian empire in the middle of the XVIII century. The first known Russian scientist M.V. Lomonosov obtained (in the I750sJ experimental data on the preservation of the mass of substances in chemical reactions. T.E. Lovits discovered adsorption from solutions he used wood carbon as an adsorbent. Among other scientists, Lovits detected compounds using characteristic forms of their crystals. V.M. Severgin published a book on analysis of mineral raw materials.

Lithium insertion in microporous hard carbons (region 3 in Fig. 2) is described in section 6. High capacity hard carbons can be made from many precursors, such as coal, wood, sugar, and different types of resins. Hard carbons made from resole and novolac resins at temperatures near 1000°C have a reversible capacity of about 550 mAh/g, show little hyteresis and have a large low voltage plateau on both discharge and charge.

Only a small amount of work has been done up to now concerning the prediction of bond strengths and other properties based on the results of the analysis of the resin. Ferg et al. [59] worked out correlation equations evaluating the chemical structures in various UF-resins with different F/U molar ratios and different types of preparation on the one hand and the achievable internal bond as well as the subsequent formaldehyde emission on the other hand. These equations are valid only for well defined series of resins. The basic aim of such experiments is the prediction of the properties of the wood-based panels based on the composition and the properties of the resins used. For this purpose various structural components are determined by means of - C NMR and their ratios related to board results. Various papers in the chemical literature describe examples of such correlations, in particular for UF, MF, MUF and PF resins [59-62]. For example one type of equation correlating the dry internal bond (IB) strength (tensile strength perpendicular to the plane of the panel) of a particleboard bonded with PF adhesive resins is as follows [17]...
