Abstract This work aimed to evaluate the effect of heat treatment on the physical properties of wood from Buchenavia sp. The heat treatments were carried out at temperatures of 180 °C and 200 °C for 2 h. Apparent density (AD), basic density (BD), porosity (Ф), mass loss, longitudinal (LS), radial (RS), tangential (TS) and volumetric (VS) shrinkages and anisotropic factor (AF) were determined. The lowest values ...
ABSTRACT This study aimed to determine the concentration of condensed tannins in the bark of Mimosa tenuiflora (Willd) Poir trees. Additionally, the physical-mechanical properties of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels bonded with an adhesive based on M. tenuiflora tannins were assessed. Bark was collected from five trees. The adhesive formulation was synthesized by mixing powdered tannins, paraformaldehyde, an...
ABSTRACT This study aimed to assess the influence of the seasonality on the bark tannins content of Acacia mangium trees grown in the Northeastern Brazilian Region and the effect of soil preparation on the results. Two experimental plots of 1.0 ha each were submitted to different soil preparation methods, with two different intensities. The experimental design consisted of four treatments, two types of soil pre...
ABSTRACT Condensed tannins are chemical compounds derived from the secondary metabolism of plants. They are of particular interest due to their broad range of technological uses and applications. The objective of this study was to extract, quantify, and characterize by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) the bark tannins of four forest species grown in Northeast Brazil: Acacia mangium, Azadirachta in...
Resumo Visando determinar o potencial energético do carvão da Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC. e do Ziziphus joazeiro (Martius), o presente trabalho vem incrementar as informações sobre as espécies de ocorrência no semiárido brasileiro. Foram avaliados os parâmetros dendrométricos, tais como: altura total e comercial da árvore, diâmetro à altura do peito (DAP), o volume com casca e sem casca. Após as carbonizações ...
ABSTRACT Among the parameters used in the biomass carbonization process, the heating rate is one of the most important. The objective of the present work was to assess the influence of different heating rates on the chemical composition of wood vinegar (WV) from two wood species. Dried disks of Eucalyptus grandis and Mimosa tenuiflora wood were used as raw material. Carbonization runs were carried out in a labo...
RESUMO A exploração de madeira com finalidade energética (lenha e carvão) vem provocando redução na vegetação nativa, agregado a isto, problemas são gerados para fauna, flora e solo. O objetivo da pesquisa foi avaliar as características energéticas do carvão vegetal produzido com madeira de aroeira (Myracrodruon urundeuva Allemão) e leucena (Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) R. de Wit). Foi realizada a supressão de ...
RESUMO Neste estudo, avaliaram-se a penetração e a retenção do preservativo borato de cobre cromatado (CCB) em peças roliças de algaroba (Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC.) quando submetidas ao método de substituição da seiva. Foram aleatoriamente selecionados 16 fustes, os quais foram divididos em quatro grupos. O primeiro grupo foi submetido à solução preservante duas horas após o abate (situação denominada “norma...
ABSTRACT This study aimed to estimate the biomass and energy of a clonal planting short rotation experiment with hybrids of Eucalyptus urophylla ST Blake x Eucalyptus grandis (Hill) Maiden, deployed in 3 m x 3 m spacing, at the Academic Unit Specialized in Agricultural Sciences, Macaíba/RN. The analysis were performed at the Laboratory Panels and Wood Energy, Federal University of Viçosa, in which the following...
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo produzir briquetes com finos de carvão de resíduos de coco e avaliar a qualidade dos briquetes. Cascas de coco foram coletadas no APL de coco em Touros - RN. Após secagem ao ar livre por dois meses, as cascas foram carbonizadas em forno de alvenaria tipo "rabo quente JG" e trituradas em moinho de martelo. O pó resultante foi peneirado, utilizando-se a fração inferior a 40 ...
