Development of wood-crete from treated sawdust

Construction and Building Materials, 2014
Abstract The properties of wood-crete were investigated based on the modification of sawdust by hot water boiling, alkaline treatment and the addition of different types of waste paper. The results showed that (1) surface modification, processing of cellulosic fibril and the extraction of lignin and hemi-cellulosic compounds with alkali had an effect

Modelling of pine wood sawdust thermochemical liquefaction

Biomass and Bioenergy, 2019
Abstract This work presents the study of direct liquefaction of pine sawdust. The effect of the temperature, solvent, catalyst and biomass concentration was investigated in a 100 mL reactor. The optimal operating conditions are 20% biomass, catalyst – acid p-toluenesulfonic (3%), solvent – diethylene glycol and 2-ethyl-hexanol (1:1), 160 °C and 2 h ...

Effect of neem wood sawdust content on properties of biodegradable thermoplastic acetylated cassava starch/neem wood sawdust composites

Starch - Stärke, 2016
Due to several important limitations for applications of thermoplastic starch (TPS), thermoplastic acetylated cassava starch (TPACS) polymer was reinforced by different contents of neem wood sawdust (SD). Thermoplastic cassava starch (TPCS)/SD composites were also prepared and reinforced by different SD contents and compared with the TPACS/SD ...

Pyrolysis and combustion characteristics and kinetics of wood sawdust and wood sawdust hydrochar

Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy, 2019
AbstractThis study compares the pyrolysis and combustion characteristics with the kinetics of wood sawdust and its hydrochar. Wood sawdust hydrochar was obtained by the hydrothermal treatment of wood sawdust (biomass/water: 1 g/4 mL) at 220°C, where the residence time was set as 90 min. After hydrothermal carbonization, carbon content and heating value

Physicochemical Profile of Sludge – Wood Sawdust Compost

2018
Physicochemical properties of compost resulting from mixture of sludge from water treatment plant in Nigeria and wood sawdust were investigated using scientific methods. Physicochemical, nutrient, essential and trace element levels of raw sludge and wood sawdust used in composting indicated varied pH , total organic carbon, moisture and ash content ...

Limestone dust and wood sawdust as brick material

Building and Environment, 2007
Abstract The majority of abandoned limestone powder wastes (LPW) and wood sawdust wastes (WSW) is accumulated from the countries all over the world and causes certain serious environmental problems and health hazards. This paper presents a parametric experimental study which investigates the potential use of WSW–LPW combination for producing a low ...

Resistance of Wood Chips and Sawdust to Airflow

Transactions of the ASAE, 1985
ABSTRACT AIRFLOW resistance through variable height columns of wood chips and sawdust was evaluated by means of the pressure drop across an orifice plate. Input pressure to the bottom of the column was controlled by means of a sliding gate valve or damper on the supply fan air intake.

Drying of Rubber Wood Sawdust Using Tray Dryer

Particulate Science and Technology, 2006
The present study attempts to understand drying characteristics of rubber wood sawdust in a tray dryer as it is the simplest and oldest of the dryers known commercially. An increase in temperature, flow rate of the heating medium, and initial moisture content was found to increase the drying rate.

Production of activated carbon from rubber wood sawdust

Biomass and Bioenergy, 2004
Abstract The present work comprehensively addresses various experimental methods reported in the literature and substantiates the use of two-stage activation process with semi-carbonization stage up to 200°C as first stage followed by an activation stage at a desired temperature, for production of activated carbon from carbonaceous precursors using ...
