The article contains the results of tests for formaldehyde content in selected wood species, alternative raw materials from experimental and agricultural plantations, particles dried under industrial conditions, recycled chips, and in boards made of elements of furniture, at the end of its life

ABSTRACT The article describes the impact of the addition of straw pulp as a partial replacement of softwood pulp in the preparation of insulating fiberboard (IFB) on its properties. Part I. discusses about the preparation of straw pulp from wheat straw and the characterization of the fractional composition of the fiber, determining the amount of water held by fiber, dewatering rate and determining of grade of defibrillation. Insulation straw boards were prepared from the fibre exactly characterized. Strength properties -tensile strength and flexural strength perpendicular to the face (internal bond strength) and physical properties -swelling and water absorption were tested on boards prepared.

total sales. The values of many of these cells are dependent on the values of other cells in the data cube..A common and powerful query optimization technique is to materialize some or all of these cells rather than compute them from raw data each time. Commercial systems differ mainly in their approach

Purpose- NILE ("New Improvements for Lignocellulosic Ethanol") was an integrated European project of FP6 devoted to the conversion of ligno-cellulosic raw materials to ethanol. The main objectives were to design novel enzymes suitable for the hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose and new

natural or renewable raw material. A process, which converted the lignocellulosic materials into panel boards without using of synthetic resin binders, has been developed and patented by Shen in the mid eighties [1]. Studies on manufacturing process of binderless board have been conducted for years

wide diversity of raw biomass and rapidly and effectively transforming it into functionalizable platform molecules that can be derivatized into industrial and consumer products, or converted into biofuels (1). A substantial research effort is underway focussed on degrading biomass into smaller

that might have affected this type of industry are also considered. The history of the Soviet/Russian hydrolysis industry clearly shows that, without state subsidies, the production of commodities, such as ethanol or fodder yeast, from lignocellulosic raw materials, can survive only if it also involves

Polysaccharides that make up plant lignocellulosic biomass can be broken down to produce a range of sugars that subsequently can be used in establishing a biorefinery. These raw materials would constitute a new industrial platform, which is both sustainable and carbon neutral, to replace

One of the most economically viable processes for the bioconversion of many lignocellulosic waste is represented by white rot fungi. Phanerochaete chrysosporium is one of the important commercially cultivated fungi which exhibit varying abilities to utilize different lignocellulosic as growth
