Abstract
The object of this study was to investigate the carbonization of Quercus variabilis wood samples in pyrolysis system at temperature ranging from 250 to $740^{\circ}C$ to contribute to the knowledge of wood carbonization mechanism. Volume of wood sample decreased with increasing the carbonization temperature, and checks were developed along with radial direction. Weight loss increased with increasing carbonization temperature. During carbonization, tangential direction showed higher shrinkage of vessel diameter than radial direction. SEM observation indicated that the cell walls in wood fibers and parenchyma cells presented the layering structure at $250^{\circ}C$ and $300^{\circ}C$. However, the cross section of cell walls at $340^{\circ}C$ and over showed an amorphous- like structure without cell wall layering. X-ray diffraction presented that the cellulose crystalline substance was still remained in carbonization temperature at $340^{\circ}C$, but it was not detected at $540^{\circ}C$ and over.
