“…Recycling of waste from construction and demolition in the form of residual medium density fiberboard (MDF), particleboard, cardboard and plywood is a viable option for producing boards suitable for furniture and interior applications [5,45]. Recently, many studies have been focused on the production of particleboard from alternative lignocellulosic raw materials, such as vine stalks [46], cotton stalks [26], bamboo and banana chips [47,48], poppy husks [49], wheat and straw [25,50], seaweed [51] and even chicken feathers [52,53]. Boards made with the addition of these materials should have comparable properties to industrially produced boards from softwood particles and comply with the requirements of the technical standard EN 312 about the specification of particleboards [54].…”

The depletion of natural resources and increased demand for wood and wood-based materials have directed researchers and the industry towards alternative raw materials for composite manufacturing, such as agricultural waste and wood residues as substitutes of traditional wood. The potential of reusing walnut (Juglans regia L.) wood residues as an alternative raw material in particleboard manufacturing is investigated in this work. Three-layer particleboard was manufactured in the laboratory with a thickness of 16 mm, target density of 650 kg∙m−3 and three different levels (0%, 25% and 50%) of walnut wood particles, bonded with urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin. The physical properties (thickness swelling after 24 h) and mechanical properties (bending strength, modulus of elasticity and internal bond strength) were evaluated in accordance with the European standards. The effect of UF resin content and nominal applied pressure on the properties of the particleboard was also investigated. Markedly, the laboratory panels, manufactured with 50% walnut wood residues, exhibited flexural properties and internal bond strength, fulfilling the European standard requirements to particleboards used in load-bearing applications. However, none of the boards met the technical standard requirements for thickness swelling (24 h). Conclusively, walnut wood residues as a waste or by-product of the wood-processing industry can be efficiently utilized in the production of particleboard in terms of enhancing its mechanical properties.

“…This risk lies in the inhalation of the dust produced [7][8][9][10][11]. Wood dust poses a significant fire hazard, whether turbulent or settled [12][13][14].After ignition, the deposited dust may start to burn in the form of decay, incandescence and flame combustion [15][16][17]. When the available surface is greater, the process accelerates rapidly, increasing the emissions [18,19].…”

Fire Parameters of Spruce (Picea abies Karst. (L.)) Dust Layer from Different Wood Technologies Slovak Case Study

The issue of the formation of wood dust particles in the work environment is still an actual topic in terms of its impact on employee health and the risk of fire or explosion in a woodworking operation. This article deals with the characteristics of spruce dust (Picea abies Karst. (L.)), which was taken from several types of wood technology. Experimental samples of spruce dust were taken from four types of sawing technologies, including grinding, briquetting and from the suction device container. The physical parameters of the samples taken were monitored and the particle size analysis was determined. The granulometric composition of the samples is significantly different. The sample of spruce wood dust from sawing has the most numerous fraction (250 µm), while the sample from grinding has the most numerous fraction 63–250 µm (87%).The aim of the paper was to monitor the minimum ignition temperature of the settled spruce dust layer and to look for a significant dependence of the minimum ignition temperature and ignition time on the type of spruce dust sample. A significant dependence was not confirmed. Significant moisture dependence of the samples was confirmed; the highest humidity was observed in the container, the lowest in sawing.

“…As population growth and technological advancements have increased over the last several decades, the demand for wood resources mainly from the Eucalyptus and Pinus genera for particleboard manufacturing has also increased [5], In many countries, however, the lack of local resources of wood to supply the particleboard industry pushed up the prices of wood species. This reason, in addition to the flexibility in using different types of raw materials by the particleboard industry, has encouraged the utilization of lignocellulosic materials and crops [6][7][8]. One of the raw materials that have shown potential for use in the particleboard industry is Tea Oil Camellia (Camellia oleifera Abel.)…”

Interaction between particle size and mixing ratio on porosity and properties of tea oil camellia (Camellia oleifera Abel.) shells-based particleboard

This study investigated the interaction between particle size and mixing ratio on the porosity of particleboard and in consequence its effect on the physical and mechanical properties of panels. Tea Oil Camellia Shell (TOCS), which could provide 1.8 million tons of lignocellulose raw material annually, can be a useful resource for particleboard production. In that regard, particleboards with different particle sizes (coarse and fine) and mixing ratios (wood and TOCS) bonded with Polymethylene polyphenyl polyisocyanate (pMDI) were investigated. The results showed that particleboard made with TOCS particles had higher densities than those of commercial wood particles. Furthermore, particleboards made with fine particles had lower porosity. The average values for physical and mechanical properties have shown that except for thickness swelling (TS), most properties were better with coarse particles. In terms of all properties, results showed that adding 50% of commercial wood in conjunction with TOCS particles regardless of particle size can offer acceptable results, which qualified all requirements of EN 312:2010 standard for P2-type particleboard (boards for interior fitments (including furniture) for use in dry conditions). In addition, due to the porous structure of the shells, TOCS-based particleboards have better thermal conductivity compared to wood-based particleboards.
