Impregnation of Bio-oil from Small Diameter Pine into Wood for Moisture Resistance

چکیده
Wood pyrolysis oil consists of hundreds of complex compounds, many of which are phenolic-based and exhibit hydrophobic properties. Southern yellow pine was impregnated with a pyrolysis oil-based penetrant using both a high pressure and vacuum impregnation systems, with no significant differences in retention levels. Penetrant concentrations ranging from 5-50% pyrolysis oil/methanol on a volume basis were used to determine the threshold concentration for significant physical property improvement. Wood impregnated with penetrant concentration of at least 10% exhibited significant reduction in both moisture sorption and tangential swelling when exposed to a 90% relative humidity and 21°C environment. When exposed to liquid water in a 24-hour soak test, analysis revealed a negative linear relationship between penetrant concentration and both moisture sorption and tangential swell. However, during the course of the 24-hour soak test, a significant linear relationship between penetrant concentration and leachate was determined.

Effect of chitosan on the mold resistance of wood and its surface properties
In this study, the effect of soluble chitosan, thyme oil and linseed oil on the mold resistance of wood and its surface properties was investigated. Both low and medium molecular weight chitosan with concentration of 1 and 2% were used. Cypress wood samples with dimensions of 20 × 20 × 70 mm and moisture content of 12% were saturated by the preservatives. The results showed that the maximum abs...
متن کاملAntifungal effect of essential oils on southern yellow pine
Moisture management remains the most critical factor for controlling mold growth on wood and wood products during storage, construction, and while in service. When moisture management practices fail to adequately control moisture, plant extracts demonstrating antifungal properties may provide protection for these applications. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antifungal propertie...

Natural durability of wood has been widely studied, but the combination of the natural durability and different treatments has not been the focus of many studies. The durability of wooden products is mainly based on the water permeability and the resistance against organisms. In this study, the water absorption and decay resistance of sapwood and heartwood of Scots pine and Norway spruce were e...
متن کاملChemical characterization of bio-oils using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry.
The liquid product obtained via the biomass flash pyrolysis is commonly called bio-oil or pyrolysis oil. Bio-oils can be used as sources for chemicals or as fuels, primarily in mixtures or emulsions with fossil fuels. A detailed chemical characterization of bio-oil is necessary to determine its potential uses. Such characterization demands a powerful analytical technique such as comprehensive t...
