Abstract
An investigation was carried out on the sorption of
nitrogen on the Kempas ( Koo_m_pos.si~ malaccensis ) at 77 K.
In a~dition, studies on its densities, calorific values as
well as mois~ure contents were determined.
The isotherm for the sapwood !as type III, whereas
for heartwood was a 'weak' type II. This indicates that
no polar sites are available for nitrogen adsorption.
The density measurements together with the sorption
studies suggest that the vessels ( pores) in Kempas are
quite large. The results also indicate that no major
differences in chemical composition of the major
components occur in the heartwood and sapwood of Kempas.
