This study aims to further understand the effect of carbon structure on the physiochemical status of metals and thus its activity during volatile-char interactions. The chars with distinctly different carbon substrates prepared from the pyrolysis of pine sawdust at 400 and 1000°C were impregnated...

Transparent wood (TW) is a novel biomass-derived composites with potential applications in many areas. In general, the preparation of TW usually involves two steps: (1) the delignification treatment of the wood and (2) the impregnation of the delignified wood (DW) with the resin. However, the...

Customized furniture production and manufacturing need to balance the relationship between large quantities and many varieties, and the reasonable group mode directly affects the production efficiency. The classification of solid wood parts into groups is affected by the variety of indicators. By...

Torrefaction pretreatment is of great significance to the enhancements of biomass characteristics. Product distribution and kinetics analysis of spruce-pin-fir (SPF) sawdust and its torrefaction samples were studied during the fast pyrolysis process. Under anaerobic conditions, torrefied biomass...

The biomass chemical looping gasification (BCLG) of torrefied spruce-pine-fir (SPF) sawdust with Fe₂O₃ was studied using thermogravimetry-mass spectrometry (TG-MS). The effects of torrefaction temperature and OC ratio on the BCLG were investigated. The thermal characteristics of torrefied SPF with...

A series of single-grit cutting tests were performed with spherical cone tools on sugar maple (Acer saccharum) wood to investigate its surface creation and cutting behavior. The tools with apex angles 2α = 84 and 2α = 108 were selected to clarify the effect of negative rake angles. It was found...

Belt sanding is an important technology in the wood processing industry. The purpose of this study was to further improve the theory of wood sanding and promote the development and manufacture of new sand belts by analyzing the wear mechanism of sand belts in the sanding process and its influence...

In this paper, the effects of dielectric barrier discharge plasma treatment at atmospheric pressure on wettability, aging behavior and adhesion properties on a Yunnan pine wood surface were investigated. Contact angle, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy...

The hot water and green liquor pretreatments were conducted on Eucalyptus wood in the current study. The cellulase adsorption behavior on the isolated lignins and model compounds was clarified by a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The QCM-D...

In this study, heteroelement-rich groups (N and B elements, tris (2-hydrazinylethyl) borate) were successfully synthesised on lignin by microwave amination. The reaction between lignin and heteroelement-rich groups was confirmed using several characterization techniques, including fourier transform ...
