In this study, teak (<i>Tectona grandis</i>) wood waste from Gunung Kidul, Indonesia, which naturally contains lapachol, was utilized as a biocatalyst to enhance delignification and improve pulp yield in alkaline cooking for pulp and paper production. The use of lapachol as a cooking catalyst was investigated for kraft, soda, and prehydrolysis soda cooking. Lapachol accelerated delignification and retained carbohydrate in all three alkaline cooking methods, with its effect being more pronounced in kraft cooking than in soda cooking. This study demonstrates that teak wood extractives with lapachol are promising sustainable catalysts for alkaline cooking.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":810,"journal":{"name":"Wood Science and Technology","volume":"58 2","pages":"627 - 647"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140037244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Combining with metal materials will endow bamboo with new functions, such as weather resistance, anti-corrosion, conductivity, and electromagnetic shielding. However, there is a natural barrier between bamboo and metal materials. This paper proposes fabrication of novel bamboo-based metal composites (BMC) which are composed of bamboo substrate and metal coating, without any adhesive, using an efficient and sustainable arc thermal spraying technique. In this method, the metal wire is melted and deposited on the bamboo substrate through a high-temperature heat source. In the feasibility experiment, arc spraying using aluminum as the wire electrode was selected. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used to observe and test the fabricated specimens. It was demonstrated that when the spraying voltage was 40 V, the deposition rate was as high as 5.8 g/min with the average thickness of the metal coating exceeding 400 μm. The surface of the BMC aluminum coating was flat, continuous, and compact with an average roughness of about Ra 3.0 μm. Based on experimental results, the integrity of bamboo substrate in thermal spraying was discussed. Results from SEM–EDS test showed that there are crack areas and adhesion areas between bamboo and metal coatings, and the highest bonding strength exhibited over 1.0 MPa. This work provides a new practice of fabricating novel BMC through a green manufacturing method with high efficiency. The findings of this study may be useful in understanding the preparation of BMC and can help find their suitability for a wide range of applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":810,"journal":{"name":"Wood Science and Technology","volume":"58 2","pages":"487 - 502"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140003336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The emission of VOCs can be minimized by degrading and mineralizing wood extractives. Wood powder is widely used as raw material for chemical industry, building materials, wood-based boards, and other products. In this study, China fir wood powder was used as object to remove wood VOCs by the ozonation and ozone-activated persulfate (O₃/PS) systems, and their VOC removal efficiencies were evaluated using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC–MS). The result showed O₃/PS system exhibited higher VOC removal efficiency. The mechanism of different ozone processes in wood treatment was explored, which contributed to the evaluation of the removal efficiency of VOCs and the degradation pathway of VOC components. The PS dosage, O₃ concentration, and pH had varying effects on the O₃/PS system. When the pH increased to 10, the removal rate of wood VOCs decreased. The VOC removal rate did not increase with the increasing free-radical concentration. When the PS concentration increased from 5 to 20 mM, the VOC removal efficiency gradually increased from 49.91 to 72.39%. However, when the PS concentration increased to 40 mM, the VOC removal efficiency of PS slightly decreased because the excess PS immediately produced a large amount of hydroxyl radical (·OH) and sulfate radical (SO₄^·−), which led to quenching reactions between radicals. The results revealed that the O₃/PS process promoted indirect oxidation. Under the synergistic effect of O₃, ·OH, and SO₄^·−, the VOC removal efficiency was significantly improved, the intermediate product was lower, and the total VOC removal rate VOCs by O₃/PS was more than 70%.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":810,"journal":{"name":"Wood Science and Technology","volume":"58 2","pages":"677 - 697"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139922524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present research aimed to determine the mechanism of wood stabilization by these chemicals to understand their mode of action. The study used chemically (ChP) and biologically degraded (BP) model Scots pine wood treated with Methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS), (3-Mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane (MPTMS), or 1,3-Bis(diethylamino)-3-propoxypropanol)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (DEAPTMDS). Synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM) was used to investigate the penetration of organosilicons into the wood cellular structure and cell walls, and nanoindentation was used to study the mechanical properties of the treated wood cell walls. All treatments resulted in high volumetric anti-shrink efficiency (ASE_V) values of 74–82%, except for MTMS-treated ChP with an ASE_V of 52%. The multiscale XFM results revealed that all applied organosilicons penetrated throughout the whole wooden blocks and deposited in both cell lumina and cell walls. The retention of all applied organosilicons was highest in BP wood, and so was the dimensional stabilization effect. MTMS-treated ChP had the lowest measured cell wall infiltration, which likely contributed to its lower ASE_v. DEAPTMDS treatments plasticized the cell walls and resulted in lowered nanoindentation elastic modulus (<i>E</i>_s^NI) and hardness (<i>H</i>) for all types of wood. MTMS and MPTMS had modest effects on cell wall mechanical properties, and the effect depended on the type of wood. The final effect of organosilicon treatment on the dimensional wood stabilization and mechanical properties of wood cell walls depended not only on the type of the applied organosilicon but also the type of wood degradation. This means that the treatment cannot be considered universal, and specific approaches are needed for the conservation of individual wooden objects. Although some mechanisms are now better understood, such as the need for organosilicons to infiltrate the cell walls and the plasticizing effect of DEAPTMDS, other aspects will benefit from a more detailed analysis of the molecular interactions between organosilicons and wood polymers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":810,"journal":{"name":"Wood Science and Technology","volume":"58 2","pages":"649 - 675"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139760980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
