“…Over the last years, A. donax began to be used as a source of biomass for chemical feedstocks and for energy production [18]. Furthermore, this non-wood plant was recently considered in the manufacturing of chipboard panels as an alternative to those wood-based ones [19].…”

“…Interestingly, the physical properties (such as Internal bonding, thickness swelling, modulus of rupture and elastic modulus) of giant reed-based particle board were even better than those of wood-based particle board [125]. However, the modulus of elasticity (MOE) (up to 1362 N mm -2 ) and modulus of rupture (MOR) (up to 10.3 N mm -2 ) of giant reed particle board still did not meet the UNE 312-4 thresholds (MOE of 1600 and MOR of 13 N mm -2 ), necessitating further investigations for improving its mechanical properties [125]. In addition, García-Ortuño et al…”

“…Currently, few studies have been found on particle board production from giant reed and miscanthus biomass. García-Ortuño et al [124] and Flores et al [125] used particles from giant reed culms with different particle sizes as a raw material for particle board panels, and suggested that producing high-quality giant reed-based particle board is feasible. Particle size was found to be crucial to the properties of urea-formaldehyde-bounded giant reed particle boards, and particle size of 2-4 mm was recommended for a desirable quality.…”

Arundo donax L. (giant reed), is a perennial rhizomatous grass and a promising energy crop due to its high biomass yield, adaptation to different types of soils and weather conditions, lower tillage requirement than traditional crops, and phytoremediation properties. This review is a comprehensive comparison of giant reed with miscanthus, a well-known candidate energy crop, in terms of biomass production and biomass conversion to bioenergy and bioproducts. Compared with miscanthus, giant reed can have higher biomass yield and adapt to a broader range of environments, but it requires more energy input for planting. Giant reed has a higher invasive potential than Miscanthus × giganteus, necessitating ecological control, such as preventing cultivation sites from flooding, strict nutrient management in surrounding areas, and removal of giant reed from riparian ecosystems adjacent to fire prone shrub lands. Generally, giant reed showed comparable yields to miscanthus in bioenergy production, but achieved better performance than miscanthus in production of particle boards, paper, and xylo-oligosaccharides. Future suggested research on giant reed includes, testing multiple harvests per year, assessing environmental benefits and reducing potential hazards, evaluating advanced pretreatment technologies, integrating processes for producing different bioenergy/bioproducts, and investigating effects of management practices on the production of fuels and products.

Optimization of the Production Factors of Boards Obtained from Arundo donax L. Fibers without Added Adhesives

et al. 2020

The main objective of this work was to further analyze the optimization of the production factors of Arundo donax L. fiberboards obtained without adhesives. The production of boards derived from Arundo donax L. without added adhesives and with high mechanical performance has already been demonstrated. This present study explored a modification in the production process through a final curing thermal treatment (final heat treatment, FHT). Since pressing time is an influential factor in the production cost, it is expected that curing allows a reduction of this time. This study compared the results obtained by three panel-production alternatives: long pressing time (tp) without curing and long and short tp with FHT. Of the two factors analyzed, pressing pressure (Pp) was the most important production factor in both the modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus of rupture (MOR), while curing was the most important factor for the internal bond (IB). The study shows that a FHT facilitates the distribution of lignin and a possible improvement in the quantity and quality of bonds between lignin and cellulosic fibers. As a consequence, it improves the IB, produces boards with more homogeneous physical and mechanical properties and thereby makes them more hydrophobic. The curing thermal treatment allows high performance panels to be obtained in a manner which is more ecological, quicker, and cheaper.
