We analysed the degree of price cointegration among pine log markets in northeast Argentina, Paraná State of Brazil, and Uruguay by examining price series over the period 2008--2020. We evaluated the cointegration of price series of the same product through the study regions. In the same way, we...

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...

In order to explore the effect of high temperature heat-treatment on the machining properties of Pinus massoniana wood, the experiment were conducted on evaluating machining performance of masson pine wood untreated and treated at different temperatures according to LY/T 2054-2012 "Method for...

Life cycle inventory (LCI) is the basis for calculating the environmental impacts of different products. The overall guidelines for data collection and other related aspects are standardized in ISO 14040 and 14044 standards. The importance of such studies is increasing due to the sustainability...

Despite many outdoors applications, the number of works aimed to determine the effect of changing conditions on the properties of glulam beams, in particular those produced in non-standard arrangements, is few. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess changes in flexural strength properties...

The cross-laminated timber (CLT) construction system has recently emerged as an excellent alternative for civil construction. The objective of this work is to analyze the structural performance of CLT panels using plantation lumber, especially eucalyptus (Eucalyptus grandis) heartwood and pine (...

Lignin, the most abundant aromatic biopolymer on Earth, has great potential to replace petrochemical-based polymers in the production of value-added products. However, lignin is difficult to extract from lignocellulose because of the recalcitrance of the latter. Herein, the extraction of lignin...

To improve fire-retardant performance of Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi) wood, this study analyzed the effect of pinholes made by laser incising and fire retardant (FR) coating on the surface of Japanese larch wood. Combustion properties such as peak heat release rate (PHRR) and total heat release ...

High-energy radiation preferentially degrades cellulose and enriches lignin content at wood surfaces particularly in hardwoods. Accordingly, we hypothesize that a similar effect will occur at surfaces exposed to plasma. We test this hypothesis by plasma-treating pine and poplar veneers and...

This study sought to characterize the flexural and crack resistance properties of composite concrete that contained micronized rubber powder (MRP) and pine wood chips as a replacement for aggregate. Compressive and flexural strength tests were conducted along with tests for modulus of elasticity....
