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, …
Ash-tree wood is heavy, tough and durable; hence, it belongs to hard deciduous wood species. In comparison with oak, ash-tree is more fast-growing; it reaches a height of 20 m …
The following hardwood species were used for heat treatment: birch (Betula pendula) and grey alder (Alnus incana). Modification was carried out in a multi-functional pilot device WTT in elevated water …
In the present study, hydrothermal modification of birch veneer was carried out in a WTT experimental laboratory device in a water vapour medium, under elevated pressure conditions. Of the investigation …
