Biomass residues and waste can be converted into bioliquids by pyrolysis, which can contribute to both the production of renewable fuels and the recycling of waste. In this paper, the catalytic co-pyrolysis of mixtures of beech wood (BW) and polyamide-6 (PA6) in different ratios was investigated to ...

An in-depth understanding of the bonding mechanism of botanical concrete (BC) can facilitate its development and improve its performance. For this purpose, six hot-pressed BC samples comprising mixtures of wood with concrete powder, carbonated concrete, and sand were prepared in this study. The...

The issue of energy consumption in the field of wood drying has attracted widespread concern worldwide. In this paper, combining with the self-heat recuperation technology, a novel self-heat recuperation wood drying system (SHRWDS) with a fixed bed dryer is proposed to recover the sensible heat and ...

These proceedings contain 86 articles covering a wide range of topics grouped in ten sections: (1) forest biogeocenology; (2) forest policy, economics and management; (3) modern problems and prospects of forest inventory and state forest inventory (dedicated to the 210th anniversary of the first...

Asphaltenes, the heaviest and most polar components of crudes, are generally associated with considerable operational issues in refineries. In order to understand potential operational issues during upgrading/processing of bio-crudes, structural and thermal behaviour of asphaltenes derived from...

The study presents theoretical aspects and modern technologies for processing wood biomass, considers the possibility of obtaining wood chips from felling residues of cutting areas, in particular technological chips that meet the GOST 15815: 1983 "Technological chips. Specifications" standard for...

A large number of bamboo waste is produced from bamboo processing industries. Bamboo waste, with high biomass yield and rich in xylan and glucan, is a promising material for the coproduction of xylo-oligosaccharides and glucose. In this work, a formic acid-facilitated hydrothermal pretreatment of...

This study investigated the swelling behaviours of briquettes made of forest residues (sawdust and bark) and their mixtures with linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) under water penetration and 90% relative humidity. The swelling of...

This proceedings contains 51 papers divided into eight sessions: (1) lignocellulosic materials science; (2) bio-composites; (3) marketing, policy and strategy; (4) chemistry and forest products utilization; (5) biomass and bioenergy; (6) poster session and student poster competition; (7)...

Using a partial market equilibrium framework, this study evaluated the US regional timber and wood products market impacts of a projected national level expansion in wood biomass consumption for energy. By restricting logging residue use, we focus on the impacts on timber harvests and paper...
