Improving the use of wood waste

Abstract

On the territory of our country, including St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, there are a large number of enterprises engaged in the processing of wood for various purposes, among which, to a large extent, there are enterprises involved in the primary processing of wood in sawmills. The resulting wood waste from bark and sawdust, in most enterprises, lead to rotting processes. The issue of the utilization of these wastes in practice can increase the production culture, increase the amount of recyclable waste from a timber processing enterprise and, thus, increase its efficiency. The article describes a mathematical model for the dynamic compaction of ground wood bark with the aim of producing fuel briquettes of their debarking waste.

Converting wood-related waste materials into other value-added products: A short review

“…The level of science and technological development and the type and concentration of waste all affect waste utilization [31]. Sawdust and chips can be used as fillers in construction to make xylolite, wood concrete, fibreboard, sawdust concrete, wood concrete, and cement-bonded particle boards, as well as piezo-thermoplastics and whole-pressed goods [32][33][34][35].…”
