Influence of UV radiation on the color of furfurylated wood protected with refining coatings. Furfurylation is a method of chemical modification of wood, with significant effects on its strength parameters, resistance to degradation and color. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the color changes of furfurylated wood under UV radiation in an accelerated aging test. The wood was refined with...
Influence of modification of aged spruce wood by in situ polymerization with ethyl methacrylate and methyl acrylate and paraloid B72 on color and water absorption. Wood is hydrophilic in nature, which creates problems such as dimensional instability and susceptibility to biological degradation. By using chemical modification, wood can be refined into new products with improved properties. Such a combination...
Color changes of ash wood (Fraxinus excelsior L.) caused by thermal modification in air and steam. Ash wood samples of 20x20x30 mm were subjected to thermal modification in different conditions. The thermal modification was conducted in air at 190 °C and in steam at 160 °C. For both environments modification lasted 2, 6 and 10 hours. Samples color parameters were measured before and after thermal...
Investigation of selected properties of the black elder wood (Sambucus nigra L.). The work has defined the selected chemical, physical and mechanical properties of the black elder wood, such as content of non-structural substances, shrinkage and density, speed of sound propagation, dynamic modulus of elasticity, acoustic resistance and sound attenuation, modulus of elasticity, bending strength, compressive...
Influence of pH and Cellic® CTec2 enzymes dose on the glucose yield after enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose at 50 °C. Cellulose obtained by the Kürschner-Hoffer method from the wood of 3-year-old poplar (Populus trichocarpa) was subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis. Cellic® CTec2 enzymes (Novozymes, Denmark) were used. The enzymatic hydrolysis was tested within the conditions recommended by the manufacturer...
Influence of pH and Cellic® CTec2 enzymes dose on the glucose yield after enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose at 45 °C. The enzymatic hydrolysis with the use of industrial enzymes Cellic® CTec2 (Novozymes, Denmark) was carried out within the conditions recommended by the manufacturer and literature. Cellulose obtained by the Kürschner-Hoffer method from a wood of 3-year-old poplar (Populus trichocarpa)...
Effect of selected urea and formaldehyde concentrations on glucose yield of enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose was investigated. Urea and formaldehyde were added separately at the concentrations of 0.001, 0.002 and 0.005 g/cm3. Glucose was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It was found that the used concentrations of urea didn’t influence glucose yield. In the case of formaldehyde,...
This paper compares the acid and enzymatic hydrolysis in relation to bioethanol production. The pulp obtained from wood of the fast-growing poplar species (Populus deltoides x maximowiczii and Populus trichocarpa Torr. & A. Gray ex Hook) was used as a feedstock. The delignification process by the Kraft method was carried out with 19% and 26% of active alkali (NaOH and Na2S). The obtained sugars...
