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...

This special issue contains 5 selected papers presented at the conference which promote and highlight the use of wood in the building industry.

The particle board industry always generates huge fine-particle sanding wood waste (FPSW) that has very limited usage. In the present study, FPSW was pyrolyzed in a thermogravimetric analyzer at room temperature to 650°C with heating rates of 5, 10, and 15°C min^-1 in a highly purified N₂...

The preparation and properties of wood vinegar obtained by pyrolysis of fir sawdust under different temperatures were studied. The results showed that the most important pyrolysis phase of fir sawdust was 150-250°C, which obtained the most of wood vinegar and organic compounds. Under this pyrolysis ...

To reduce the raw material content in particleboards, the influence of core layer particle geometry on panel properties was compared for lightweight particleboards (500 kg/m³) and conventional panels (650 kg/m³). Specifically, the bending strength and modulus of elasticity, internal bond strength,...

The addition of maleic anhydride (MA)-modified polypropylene (MAPP) as a compatibilizer increases mechanical and physical properties of wood/plastic composites (WPCs). It is thought that MA graft ratio (Gr), molecular weight (weight-average molecular weight [Mw]), and mixing methods of MAPP affect...

The objective of this study was to investigate the mechanical properties of wood/plastic composites (WPCs) produced using wood flour (WF) prepared by wet ball-milling under various milling times (0-120 min) and drying methods (freeze- or heat drying). The drying method did not affect the particle...

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...

The pyrolysis of Chinese fir sawdust in fixed bed was investigated. The influence of pyrolysis conditions (such as pyrolysis temperature, heating rate and flow rate of nitrogen) on properties of wood vinegar was discussed. The results showed that pyrolysis temperature was the main factor that...
