“…The TW treated with 4-methyl catechol absorbed less water compared with raw wood because of the removal of hemicellulose and lignin (Hossain et al 2014). The raw wood exhibited a higher percentage of water absorption followed by the TW at pH 11, pH 10, pH 9, and pH 8.…”

Four types of treated wood (TW) were prepared by the impregnation of solid wood each with a solution of 4-methyl catechol at pH 8, a solution of 4-methyl catechol at pH 9, a solution of 4-methyl catechol at pH 10, and a solution of 4-methyl catechol at pH 11. These TW were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopic, 3-point bending, freefree-vibration, and thermo-gravimetric analysis. FT-IR result showed that TW had more than one carbonyl absorbance band between 1745 and 1690 cm -1 , while raw wood had only one carbonyl absorbance band in this regard. TW at pH levels of eight and nine showed higher crystallinity index (CIXRD) than that of raw wood. The SEM micrograph of TW at pH 8 had a smoother surface compared with other treated wood and raw wood. The modulus of elasticity (MOE), and modulus of rupture (MOR) of TW at pH 8 and pH 9 significantly increased. The raw wood exhibited a higher water uptake compared with the TW. The TGA results showed that TW were thermally less stable between 267 and 400 °C than raw wood.

“…Wood saw dust is a natural fiber which has tendency to absorb water. As a consequence wood saw dust considerably improves biodegradability of polymer matrix composites while used as reinforcement of polymer (Adhikary et al, 2008;Hossain et al, 2014;Pérez et al, 2012). The manufacture of environment friendly biodegradable polymer matrix composites has a great importance for the sake of green environment.…”

Hybrid polymer matrix composites of waste cotton fabric and wood saw dust reinforcements were studied with a view to recycling the wastes from garments and carpentry industries. Polymer composites with cotton fabric and wood-saw-dust reinforcements were fabricated using hot press machine. Their physical, thermal and mechanical behaviors were discussed in terms of moisture absorption, thermal stability, tensile strength, elastic modulus, flexural strength and flexural modulus. Compositional analyses of fibers, matrix and composites were carried out with FTIR spectroscopy. Experimental results revealed that tensile and flexural strength of the composites increased with cotton fabric reinforcement. On the other hand, with increasing wood saw dust strength decreased up to a certain limit and then increased again. Water absorption of the hybrid composites increased substantially with increasing natural filler contents. Maximum water absorption was observed in 20% fabric/wood-saw-dust reinforced polymer composite. Furthermore, TGA graphs suggest better thermal stability of the hybrid composites than that of pure polypropylene. Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res.54(1), 21-30, 2019

“…It is chemically defined as a biopolymeric composite of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin [10]. Cellulose is defined as a structural polysaccharide considered as a main component of biopolymers of the wood biomass [10]. Therefore, wood sawdust, also known as dye, which is a by-product of wood and trees, constitute a source for energy production [11].…”

Abstract-Organic wastes refer to animal or plant based wastes that undergo natural biodegradation. In this study, the soil analysis was carried out on samples collected from a farm located on the out scares of Thokoza Township in Johannesburg, South Africa. The Farm operational site currently used for farming was once a waste dumping site. The moisture content of different samples was determined with an initial weight of 100g; each sample was placed in an oven and heated at 107 °C for 2 hours. The X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis was used in the determination of samples composition. Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Potassium (K) and Phosphorus (P) were mainly discussed in this study. Horse dung and crushed bones were reported more suitable as fertilizers due to large amount of K and P considered as potential plant growth catalysts. Wood saw dust revealed particularities in its effect on sand especially in agriculture. The purpose of this study was to analyse, compare and predict the impact of horse dung, crushed bones, and wood sawdust in the land remediation and fertility improvement.
