The broad goal of the research is to improve existing understanding of          the thermal reaction behavior (including stoichiometry and kinetics) of         four industrially important renewable materials:  wood and its three            major constituents (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin), with emphasis         on secondary reactions of pyrolysis tars from wood.  The specific               thrusts of this effort are:  systematic studies of the rates and                extents of extraparticle secondary reactions of freshly formed wood             pyrolysis liquids including examination of both vapor phase and                 vapor-solid reactions, the latter probably focusing on effects of wood          char; and exploratory studies of intra-particle secondary reaction              phenomena including liquid phase reactions, molecular weight growth,            and char-forming processes.  These studies are expected to provide key          kinetic parameters and stoichiometric coefficients to further ultimate          objectives of better understanding of the thermal reaction behavior of          large dimension biomass particles and of developing mathematically              tractable whole biomass simulation theories.
