“…It is obvious that the use of biomass plays a key role in the obtainment of renewable chemical inputs; thus, it is necessary setting chemical routes and methods able to make its reuse feasible. In addition, the resulting diversification of products will certainly have positive impacts on the chemical industry and on the energy sector, fact that may generate great benefits to society (VAZ JÚNIOR, 2011;KOUCHAKI-PENCHAH et al, 2016).…”

“…It also presents physical resistance parameters superior to those of agglomerated wood-based panels, as well as good dimensional stability and excellent machining capacity. The panels are made of planted-forest wood belonging to genera Pinus and Eucalyptus (JUVENAL MATTOS, 2002;KOUCHAKI-PENCHAH et al, 2016). According to Maffessoni and Meneguzzi (2012), the furniture industries consume massive MDF amounts; 17.12% of this total corresponds to waste generated during the production processes.…”

Solid wastes from furniture industries require proper disposal and may have potential to be used as input in other production chains. The aim of the current study is to assess the use of medium density fiberboard (MDF) to produce bio-oil and carbon black with low emission of toxic elements. A full factorial design was used to assess 27 bio-oil preparation procedures based on the acid digestion of MDF shavings. The influence of three concentrated acid types (HNO3, H2SO4 and HCl) at three different temperatures (25, 75 and 150°C) and digestion times (30, 60 and 90min) was assessed. The contents of Al, Ba, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb samples were determined through ICP OES. The Al and Ba contents oscillated between 442.2 ± 235.9 mg kg-1 and 17.9 ± 8.6 mg kg-1, respectively. The Cd, Cr, Ni and Pb contents were below the detection limit set by the technique. The tests showed that the studied material has the potential to be used as bio-oil and carbon black with low emission of metallic elements; thus, it was considered a potential alternative source of biomass-generated energy and, in parallel, it provides the furniture sector with an additional waste management option

“…LCA can help compare potential factors and environmental impact types in different stages. Mediumdensity fiberboard was assessed based on LCA during the production process [25,26]. Umberto software and Ecoinvent life-cycle inventory database were used to establish different life-cycle models of fiberboard manufacturing [27][28][29].…”

Crop straw, as a widely used biomass resource, can be processed to produce renewable energy and green products. However, about 70% of straw were burned in the open air, causing serious environmental pollution and air pollution. In order to reduce the burden on the environment, the different straw management strategies are comparatively studied and evaluated by applying the life-cycle assessment (LCA) method. Within the system boundary from cradle to grave, three alternative scenarios, including straw particleboard, straw cement-bonded particleboard, and straw direct combustion power generation, are compared with the current common treatment (straw open burning). e comprehensive inventory analysis on each treatment scenario is carried out indepth, and the corresponding resource consumption and environmental impact of each treatment scenario are calculated, respectively. e LCA results showed that the environmental impacts of reusing crop straw to produce straw particleboard and cement-bonded particleboard (Scenario 1 and Scenario 2) is significantly reduced by 6% and 10%, by comparison with the use of wood resource. Greenhouse gas emissions from straw direct combustion power generation (Scenario 3) processes are reduced by 30% compared with coal power generation. From the environmental point of view, the scenario of straw particleboard product has the smallest impact on the environment, while straw open burning is not an advisable way due to the highest environmental impact from the highest greenhouse gas emissions and acidification effects. From the perspective of energy consumption, the energy consumption for the combustion power generation is the smallest in all scenarios. It is suggested that governments are supposed to construct reasonable scenarios for the straw disposition based on the local development status and condition. e research results can provide scientific guidance for the management strategy of the comprehensive utilization of straw resources.

“…In this study, the investigated products were wood-based panels. The 2013 Revised Supplementary Methods and Good Practice Guidance Arising from the Kyoto Protocol (The 2013 IPCC Guidelines) [11] stipulates that wood-based panels are reported in cubic meters (m 3 ) solid volume, a functional unit used in previous wood-based panel studies [10,38,39]. Therefore, the volumetric unit (m 3 ) was adopted as the reference in the current work to compare the gate-to-gate life cycle CO 2 flux among different panels.…”

Life cycle analysis on wood-based panels in terms of CO 2 flux can be used to quantitatively assess the climate change contributions of these materials. In this study, the annual CO 2 flux between 1990 and 2015 was calculated through gate-to-gate life cycle analysis of wood-based panels. As implied by the energy consumption standards, China's wood-based panels used to be carbon sources during the period 1990-2007, with the average contribution to CO 2 emissions of 9.20 Mt/year. The implementation of new standards and the development of Cleaner production technologies in China, decreased the energy consumption per panel. China's wood-based panels acted as a carbon sink between 2008 and 2015, with the average contribution to CO 2 removal of 31.71 Mt/year. Plywood produced the largest contributions to the emission and removal of CO 2 , and was followed by fiberboard and particleboard. China's wood-based panels, with good prospects and strong demands projected in the future, can potentially contribute to climate change mitigation.
