Studies of the physical and chemical properties of soft deciduous wood, namely, grey alder (Alnus incana) in thermal modification (temperature 140-180oC, water vapour medium) are carried out. Changes in the …
The research shows, on the basis of grey alder stands, the possibilities of increasing the amounts of wood obtained per unit of area when freely choosing the cutting age and …
In the moderate climatic zone, in which also Latvia is located, mainly coniferous wood is used in construction, whose properties are more appropriate for load-carrying and bearing structures. The stock …
Thermal treatment is one of the most promising methods for upgrading wood durability properties. In the hydrothermal modification process, not only the chemical properties and structure of wood are changed, …
The present study is aimed at obtaining self-binding (without any additional binders) medium density board samples from steam-exploded grey alder (alnus incana (L.) Moench) chips. The chips used for steam …
A batch steam explosion pretreatment (SE) was applied to grey alder (alnus incana (L.) Moench) chips to obtain self binding fibrous lignocelluloses’ complex. SE was generated by water vapours without …
