Abstract

This study aimed to analyze an optimal utilization system to maximize the economic value of domestic oak (Quercus Mongolica Fisch. ex Ledeb.) log in the value chain to expand the use of wood resources and by-products. Initially, visits were made to medium-density fiberboard (MDF) factories and other companies that utilize domestic oaks to assess the size and quality of products at each stage of use, as well as the status of by-product collection and sales. Furthermore, potential alternatives to wood processing or by-product utilization were explored to facilitate the transition to a bio-economical system. Subsequently, an analysis was conducted to identify the types and quantities of wood products that could be derived from oak and evaluate the economic and environmental benefits of usage scenarios if they were adopted as new alternative resources. Finally, based on the study findings, suggestions are made for future enhancements in the domestic wood distribution process and by-product utilization system, with a focus on the application of a forest-based bioeconomy. The production of flooring boards using high-frequency vacuum drying has been highlighted as a means to increase the value-added and extend the carbon storage period by promoting its use as a long-lived product. Therefore, in addition to endeavors to enhance the price competitiveness of domestic wood products and explore ways to leverage high value-added by-products, there is a need to invest in advancing technology to maximize the value-added potential of domestic wood products.

韩国国内橡木加工价值链分析
本研究旨在分析一种使蒙古栎经济价值最大化的最优利用体系。(ex Ledeb.)在原木价值链中扩大木材资源和副产品的利用。最初,访问了中密度纤维板(MDF)工厂和其他利用国内橡树的公司,以评估产品在每个使用阶段的大小和质量,以及副产品收集和销售的状况。此外,还探讨了木材加工或副产品利用的潜在替代办法,以促进向生物经济系统的过渡。随后,进行了一项分析,以确定可以从橡木中提取的木材产品的种类和数量,并评价如果采用这些木材作为新的替代资源,其使用情景的经济和环境效益。最后,根据研究结果,提出了今后加强国内木材分配过程和副产品利用系统的建议,重点是应用以森林为基础的生物经济。利用高频真空干燥技术生产地板已被强调为一种增加附加值和延长碳储存期的手段,通过促进其作为长寿命产品的使用。因此,除了努力提高国内木制品的价格竞争力,探索利用高附加值副产品的方法外,还需要投资于先进技术,最大限度地发挥国内木制品的增值潜力。
