Abstract

This research was performed to investigate the effects of press temperature, press time, and resin content on the emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde during the pressing of radiata pine medium density fiberboard (MDF). To statistically quantify the amount of total VOCs (TVOCs) and formaldehyde according to pressing conditions, this experiment was designed using a central composite design. Detected VOCs were pentanal, hexanal, [alpha]-...

Bending strength of Chilean radiata pine poles.(utility poles)
Forest Products Journal ; Abstract Because radiata pine has thrived in south-central Chile since it was introduced there more than a century ago, pine plantation productivity there has grown tremendously. Plantation owners are seeking new markets for this material. One potential market is utility poles. The American
Gaseous emissions from wastewater facilities
Water Environment Research ; MODELING AND SOURCES Ferro and Pincince (1996) reviewed three computer programs used to estimate volatile organic chemical (VOC) emissions from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs): TOXCHEM+, BASTE, and WATER8. All three overpredicted actual VOC emissions. Chem and Yu (1995) modeled mass transfer

INFLUENCE OF LUMBER DIMENSION ON VOC EMISSIONS FROM KILN-DRYING LOBLOLLY PINE LUMBER.
Forest Products Journal ; RUBIN SHMULSKY ABSTRACT Southern yellow pine (SYP) wood contains many nonstructural components, such as monoterpenes. These volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are given off by living pine trees and during drying of wood products such as lumber, veneer, strands, particles, and fibers. This research
Devastating fungus heading for NZ
The Press ; Here's a gloomy prediction for forest and woodlot owners, and probably for the future of farm shelter in Canterbury: pitch canker, the fungus disease that has devastated radiata pine stands in its natural habitat in California, is heading this way. According to experts at a recent pitch-canker
Variation of terpenes in sapwood and heartwood of loblolly pine: impact on VOC emissions from drying lumber samples.(volatile organic compound)
Forest Products Journal ; Abstract A single loblolly pine tree approximately 45 years in age was harvested for use in this study. Increment core samples from throughout the length of the tree bole were analyzed for terpenes. Lumber samples from different locations within the tree were tested for volatile organic compound
END-GRAIN INFLUENCE ON VOC EMISSIONS FROM KILN-DRYING LOBLOLLY PINE.
