Study of particleboard manufacture by nonconventional bonding
Abstract
This research was conducted to investigate the posibility of producing particleboards using surface activation method of P. deltoides particles and then using cross-linking agents to bond wood particles. At first, nitric acid as an oxidative agent at different proportion including 0, 3, 4.5 & 6 percent (based on OD weight of wood) and two assembly times of 0 and 1 hour was used. Black liquor at two amounts of 5 and 7 percent was used as cross-linking agent. The results indicates that using 6% nitric acid and 7% liquor had the best performance and that, the assembly time of 1 hour had negative effect on all properties. The ATR spectrum of treated samples showed the increase in the absorbtion rate at 1740 cm-1 related to COOH group as compared with control samples. In addition, the spectrum indicated that increasing oxidation increase absorbtion rate of COOH group.
