Acetylation of wood – A review

Wood is a porous three dimensional, hydroscopic, viscoelastic, anisotropic bio-polymer composite composed of an interconnecting matrix of cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin with minor amounts of inorganic elements and organic extractives. Some, but not all, of the cell wall polymer hydroxyl groups are accessible to moisture and these accessible hydroxyls form hydrogen bonds with water. As the...

Antitermitic Effects of Three Wood Stain Treatments

Potential antitermitic properties of some common wood stains were tested against Coptotermes formosanus. Four different wood species treated with 3 different stain chemicals at the 0,1 kg/m2 retention level were exposed to no-choice termite feeding test in laboratory conditions. Mean mass loses, mortality rates and consumption rates were calculated based on weight changes before and after the t...

application and construction of carbon paste modified electrodes developed for determination of metal ions in some real samples

ساخت الکترودهاِی اصلاح شده ِیکِی از چالشهاِی همِیشگِی در دانش شیمِی بوِیژه شیمِی تجزیه مِی باشد ،که با در نظر گرفتن سادگِی ساخت، کاربردی بودن و ارزان بودن روش مِی توان به باارزش بودن چنِین سنسورهاِی پِی برد.آنچه که در ادامه آورده شده به ساخت و کاربرد الکترودهاِی اصلاح شده با استفاده از نانو ذرات در اندازه گِیرِی ولتامترِی آهن وکادمِیم اشاره دارد. کار اول اختصاص دارد به ساخت الکترود خمِیر کربن اصلاح شده با لِیگاند داِ...

Chromium Adsorption by Modified Wood

Chromium is one of the most common heavy metals which exist in very high concentrations in wastewater. The removal is very expensive due to the high cost of normal adsorbents. Lignocellulosic materials and mainly treated materials have proven to be a good solution for this problem. Adsorption tests were performed at different pH, different times and with varying concentrations. Results show tha...
