Chemical and Mechanical Properties Changes in Corymbia Citriodora Wood Submitted to Heat Treatment

Abstract: The heat is important treatment in the wood processing. The changes are not significant in structural properties in some case, like wood drying. However, in other treatments, such heat treatment and carbonization the changes can be intense. The main purpose of this research is to investigate the influence of thermorectification process on the chemical and mechanical behavior of Corymbia citriodora (Hook.) K.D. Hill & L.A.S. Johnson. The heat treatment was performed in a laboratorial electric furnace at 160, 18… Show more

“…In the experiment, a loss of major wood compounds takes place mainly above 200 °C. The thermal degradation starts by decomposition of hemicelluloses, that generally show a lower thermal stability than cellulose (Tumen et al 2010;Silva et al 2015). The decrease in extractives content by heat treatment up to 200 °C could be due to the removal of volatiles.…”

“…According to Silva et al (2015), under treatment temperatures, volatile extractives were either evaporated or modified. However, there were no significant changes in the cell wall constituents and this might have facilitated the fungal attack.…”

“…Seven planks, with dimensions of 6 cm × 16 cm × 56 cm (thickness × width × length) were used for each temperature. The thermal modification process is explained in Paes et al (2015Paes et al ( , 2016 and Silva et al (2013Silva et al ( , 2015.…”

“…Therefore, heat-treated wood has a higher percentage share of lignin than normal wood (Vukas et al 2010). Hemicelluloses are more affected than other constituents of wood due to their relatively lower thermal stabilities (da Silva et al 2015). Changes in hemicellulose determine the strength properties of woods heated at high temperatures (Hills 1984).…”
