These chemical groups constitute one (vertical) axis of a diagram defining the Van Schmus-Wood classification system, as illustrated in Figure 6.3. The other (horizontal) axis is based on secondary characteristics. 

Plywood is also divided into softwood and hardwood plywood products. The classification depends on the type of wood the face pHes are made from. The principal appHcation for 1 cm and thicker hardwood plywoods are cabinets and furniture. The thinner grades are used to make paneling and doorskins, which represent approximately 56% of the total hardwood plywood products. The total market in 1989 was estimated to be 2.1 biUion.

They indicated that the softness parameter may reasonably be considered as a quantitative measure of the softness of metal ions and is consistent with the HSAB principle by Pearson (1963, 1968). Wood et al. (1987) have shown experimentally that the relative solubilities of the metals in H20-NaCl-C02 solutions from 200°C to 350°C are consistent with the HSAB principle in chloride-poor solutions, the soft ions Au" " and Ag+ prefer to combine with the soft bisulfide ligand the borderline ions Fe +, Zn +, Pb +, Sb + and Bi- + prefer water, hydroxyl, carbonate or bicarbonate ligands, and the extremely hard Mo + bonds only to the hard anions OH and. Tables 1.23 and 1.24 show the classification of metals and ligands according to the HSAB principle of Ahrland et al. (1958), Pearson (1963, 1968) (Table 1.23) and softness parameter of Yamada and Tanaka (1975) (Table 1.24). Compari.son of Table 1.22 with Tables 1.23 and 1.24 makes it evident that the metals associated with the gold-silver deposits have a relatively soft character, whereas those associated with the base-metal deposits have a relatively hard (or borderline) character. For example, metals that tend to form hard acids (Mn +, Ga +, In- +, Fe +, Sn " ", MoO +, WO " ", CO2) and borderline acids (Fe +, Zn +, Pb +, Sb +) are enriched in the base-metal deposits, whereas metals that tend to form soft acids...

Kinetic parameters of fast pyrolysis were derived while assuming a single process for the decomposition of wood, including three parallel first-order decay reactions for the formation of the product classes. This is the so-called Shafizadeh scheme [56]. The three lumped product classes are permanent gas, liquids (biooil, tar), and char a classification that has become standard over the years. The produced vapors are subject to further degradation to gases, water and refractory tars. Charcoal, which is also being formed, catalyzes this reaction and therefore needs to be removed quickly [57].

Appendix B includes a review and a classification of conversion concepts. It also investigates the potentials to develop an all-round bed model or CFSD code simulating the conversion system. This review also contains a great deal of information on the heat and mass transport phenomena taking place inside a packed bed in the context of PBC of biomass. The phenomena include conversion regimes, pyrolysis chemistry, char combustion chemistry, and wood fuel chemistry. The main conclusions from this review are ... 

Figure 34 is an exception, illustrating a downdraft system. Updraft wood stoves also exist. There is a great diversity among wood stove systems and the classification of updraft fuel-bed systems is too restrictive to categorise all of them.

Fires are classified based on the type of fuel involved. Fuels are typically placed into three classes ordinary combustibles (like wood and paper), flammable liquids, and combustible metals. For firefighting, a fourth fire class, electrical fires, is also considered. The four main classifications of fire are shown in Table B-1.

In their thoughtful 1983 review, Nielsen and coworkers noted that particles of diesel soot or wood smoke can absorb significant amounts of water. Thus, they suggested that the most plausible mechanism(s) for nitration (and possibly other electrophilic reactions) of particle-associated PAHs in ambient air may involve reactions both in a liquid film and on solid surfaces and that fundamental laboratory studies of the rates, products, and mechanisms of PAHs in polar solvents would be atmospherically relevant for reactions in the liquid films. Based on this, they proposed a classification scheme for the reactivities of key PAHs in electrophilic reactions, which was subsequently described in detail (Nielsen, 1984).

Classification system for chondrites, adapted from Van Schmus and Wood (1967). A meteorite is classified by identifying its chemical group and petrologic type. Approximate temperatures for metamorphism or alteration are shown at the bottom. The relative abundances of meteorites assigned to various petrologic types are indicated by the shaded proportion of each box (data from Scott and Krot, 2004).
