ABSTRACT The understanding of the relationship between the properties of wood and charcoal makes it possible to improve the production of charcoal. Therefore, the random forest algorithm was used in this study to analyze the influence of eucalyptus wood properties on the quality of charcoal as well as the accuracy of the predicted values concerning the results estimated by support vector regression and multiple...
ABSTRACT Eucalyptus wood from adult trees is used for several purposes; however, the wood of younger trees has limited use. This study aims to characterize and propose uses of two-year-old eucalyptus wood. Six two-year-old Eucalyptus grandis × Eucalyptus urophylla clones have been selected and their anatomical, ultrastructural, physical and mechanical wood characteristics evaluated. The wood of Clone A shows mo...
RESUMO Vibrações transversais apresentam potencial para avaliação da madeira devido a alta precisão, baixo custo e rapidez, mas sua aplicação em madeira termorretificada ainda é pouco estudada. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar as propriedades físicas e mecânicas de madeira termorretificada de Eucalyptus urophylla e Pinus oocarpa e relacionar a análise de ressonância (Bing) com o modulo de elasticidade está...
Abstract: The objective of this work was to test a new methodology to assess the resistance of trees to wind damage and determine the characteristics that increase clone resistance to winds. Tree resistance to breakage, basic density, ultrastructure, anatomy, mechanical properties, and wood growth stress have been evaluated in seven Eucalyptus grandis × Eucalyptus urophylla clones, collected from a region with ...
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the final torrefaction temperature on the energy properties of wood. It was applied four treatments with three replicates, consisting of untreated wood particles and particles torrefied at temperatures of 170, 220 and 260ºC. Better physical, chemical and thermal properties of the particles were observed as a function of the torrefaction temperat...
ABSTRACT Drying is an important step to using wood and anatomical characteristics influence this process. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the relationship between anatomy and wood drying. Samples with 2 x 2 x 4 cm were obtained from eight Eucalyptus urophylla x Eucalyptus grandis clones at 1.3 m height to evaluate the anatomy and drying in climate chamber during 15 days. Cell wall fraction was ...
RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar diferentes regimes de desbaste em plantios silviculturais de clones de eucalipto (Eucalyptus urophylla x Eucalyptus grandis) para produção de madeira visando à obtenção de celulose e carvão com a finalidade de verificar se este efeito poderia afetar quantitativamente a proporção dos componentes químicos da madeira. O espaçamento inicial médio entre plantas foi de 3 x 3...
