Evaluation of the interactions of typical wood extracts on the bonding performance of soybean-based adhesives

Zeshun Liu et al.

Summary: The substitution of soybean-based adhesives for formaldehyde-based resins in wood composites is important for resource recycling and environmental protection. However, the bonding properties of these composites vary due to the interactions of wood extracts. This study investigated the effects of wood extracts on adhesive structures and properties, providing guidance for the application of soybean-based adhesives in commercial wood production.

A Critical Investigation of Certificated Industrial Wood Pellet Combustion: Influence of Process Conditions on CO/CO2 Emission

Bartosz Choinski et al.

Summary: The emission of pollutants into the atmosphere is closely related to human activity and health. Among many factors, domestic heating systems have a significant impact on the emission rate. Measures to reduce harmful compound emissions have shown positive effects, leading to a downward trend in emissions of gases such as CO, NOx, and SO2. Tests on different types of pellets available on the European market revealed that pellets certificated with ENPlus A1 did not meet the requirements, leading to increased CO emissions.

Recent advances in lignocellulosic biomass for biofuels and value-added bioproducts-A critical review

Veeramuthu Ashokkumar et al.

Summary: Lignocellulosic biomass is a renewable, economical, and carbon-neutral feedstock, but its complex multi-scale structure poses challenges for valorization and saccharification. This review discusses the latest methods and technologies in biomass pretreatment, as well as genetic engineering techniques for developing advanced strategies in fermentation processes. The aim is to bridge the gap in developing economically feasible lignocellulosic products and chemicals using biorefining technologies.

Bioactive molecules in wood extractives: Methods of extraction and separation, a review

Mateus Berwaldt Santos et al.

Summary: Bioactive molecules are substances capable of interacting with living organisms and causing changes in them. Wood extractives contain significant amounts of these molecules, some of which exhibit good antioxidant and antimicrobial activity and can be used as preservatives. Conventional extraction methods have drawbacks such as high solvent, energy, and time consumption. To overcome these issues, new extraction techniques are being developed to optimize the process. Separation techniques like chromatography and molecular distillation can purify extractives and obtain desired molecules. This review provides an overview of the extraction and purification methods used for wood bioactive molecules, discussing factors such as raw material, solvent type, solid/liquid ratio, temperature, pressure, and extraction time. The application of extractives as preservatives for low durability woods is also analyzed. The study concludes that the quality and quantity of bioactive molecules depend on the methods and solvents employed for extraction, making the choice of method and solvent fundamental for achieving desired results.

Assessment of Migration of PAHs Contained in Soot of Solid Fuel Combustion into the Aquatic Environment

Ewa Szatylowicz et al.

Summary: During the thermal processes of fossil fuel and biomass combustion, organic compounds called Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are formed, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are highly toxic and pose a serious threat to living organisms. The combustion by-products from individual heat sources, such as soot, containing PAHs, are often used or stored without control, leading to potential contamination of land and water. This study conducted research on the combustion of solid fuels and determined the leachability of PAHs from the combustion by-products. The influence of different types of solid fuel on the mobility of PAHs in the aquatic environment was evaluated, and the carcinogenicity and acute toxicity of the combustion by-products were also assessed.

Hydrodynamic cavitation for lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment: a review of recent developments and future perspectives

Thiago Averaldo Bimestre et al.

Summary: Hydrodynamic cavitation is a promising method for pretreating lignocellulosic biomass to release energy, induce physical and chemical changes, and disrupt the lignin-carbohydrate matrix. When combined with other pretreatment processes, hydrodynamic cavitation offers an attractive alternative to conventional methods with high efficiency, low energy consumption, and easy setup for large-scale applications.
