Popis: The tobacco waste generated from the tobacco agriculture and industry, including the discarded stem and leaf, often needs dehydration pretreatment before thermal conversion utilization. In order to study the water activity and migration of tobacco waste during the pretreatment process, TG-NMR (Thermogravimetric Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) was used to obtain the drying curves and LF-NMR (Low Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) T2 inversion spectrum at each stage of tobacco drying. Meanwhile, the variation pattern of pore distribution during the dehydration process of two types of tobacco waste has been obtained. Combined with the pore distribution changes, a possible spatial migration mode of water was proposed. The change of adsorption energy of water during tobacco drying was calculated, and verified the above hypothesis. This study results provide reference for the optimization of dehydration pretreatment process for different tobacco waste in order to reduce energy consumption during recycling of tobacco biomass.
