Wood Veneer Dyeing Enhancement by Ultrasonic-assisted Treatment

Enhancement of Phosphate Flotation by Ultrasonic Pretreatment

Removal of carbonate impurities in sedimentary phosphate is one of the most important issues in the industry. Poor selective flotation of those ores is due to the similarity of Physico-chemical surface properties, solubility and electrokinetic characteristics of sparingly soluble phosphate and carbonate minerals. In this study, the effect of ultrasonic irradiation as a pretreatment method o...

Textile Dyeing Wastewater Treatment

Textile industry can be classified into three categories viz., cotton, woolen, and synthetic fibers depending upon the used raw materials. The cotton textile industry is one of the oldest industries in China. The textile dyeing industry consumes large quantities of water and produces large volumes of wastewater from different steps in the dyeing and finishing processes. Wastewater from printing...

EFFECTS Of TENSION WOOD IN HARDWOOD ILUMI3ER AND VENEER

A New Vision Inspection Method for Wood Veneer Classification

A vision-based inspection method based on rough set theory, fuzzy set and BP algorithm is presented. The rough set method is used to remove redundant features for its data analysis and procession ability. The reduced data is fuzzified to represent the feature data in a more suitable form as input data of a BP network classifier. By the experimental research, the hybrid method shows good classif...

Wood Veneer Species Recognition Using Markovian Textural Features

A mobile Android application that can automatically recognize wood species from a low quality mobile phone photo under varying illumination conditions is presented. The wood recognition is based on the Markovian, spectral, and illumination invariant textural features. The method performance was verified on a wood database, which contains veneers from sixty-six varied European and exotic wood sp...
