Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxometry is applied to provide direct measurement of water adsorption in anatomical fractions of corn stover. NMR transverse T2 relaxation time distribution measurements indicate multiple water populations, which vary with anatomical fraction and water adsorption. Measured T2 data are used to calculate thermodynamic properties of Brunauer-Emmet-Teller adsorption theory using a model to estimate mono and bilayer relaxation. T2 data are used directly to determine rotational diffusion correlation times indicating adsorption interaction strength. T1-T2 longitudinal-transverse relaxation time correlation measurements quantify differences in the molecular level structural order of the adsorbate surface water as a function of water activity, i.e. relative humidity or water vapor partial pressure. The T1/T2 ratio provides a measure of the surface energy related to the adsorption strength and surface diffusive mobility of the water adsorbate and differentiates the anatomical fractions. The results indicate that direct measurement of NMR relaxation times can be used to characterize corn stover biomass water adsorption, data relevant to processing and handling considerations.
