Multilayer Particleboard Produced with Agroindustrial Waste and Amazonia Vegetable Fibres

Production of Sustainable Construction Materials Using Agro-Wastes

“…For instance, Khanjanzadeh et al [63] demonstrated that the mechanical and physical properties of the particleboards could be enhanced further by adding paulownia wood particles. Likewise, Fiorelli et al [64] showed that the mechanical properties of the particleboards using an admixture containing vegetable fibers were superior to those that only used sugarcane bagasse. With the green concrete production, it was also observed by Rodier et al [37] that cement pastes made from ternary mixtures of bamboo leaves ash (BLA) and sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) had higher pozzolanic activity than the binary mixture of SCBA only.…”

“…With the green concrete production, it was also observed by Rodier et al [37] that cement pastes made from ternary mixtures of bamboo leaves ash (BLA) and sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) had higher pozzolanic activity than the binary mixture of SCBA only. Fiorelli et al [64] further showed that manufacturing multi-layer particleboards using an admixture of sugarcane bagasse and Amazonian vegetable fibers such as jute and curaua produced boards with better mechanical properties than those produced using only sugarcane bagasse in their outer layers.…”

“…In order to confirm this assertion, it is imperative to examine other studies where researchers combined more than one type of agro-waste in manufacturing particleboards. A study by Fiorelli et al [64] comparatively evaluated the thermal-physical-mechanical properties and microstructural properties of multi-layer particleboards that had been manufactured using sugarcane bagasse in their outer layers and an admixture of sugarcane bagasse and Amazonian vegetable fibers such as jute and curaua. X-ray diffraction was used to measure the density of the boards in order to ensure it was maintained at 550 kg/m 3 .…”

Functional Assessment of Particleboards Made of Apple and Plum Orchard Pruning

“…In the light of increasing the diversity of raw materials for the production of lignocellulosic panels, fast growing osier stems (Salix viminalis L.), black locust offshoots (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) or even Miscanthus stalks (Miscanthus giganteus) were used to produce particleboard panels as a value added application alternative to their traditional usage [2,3]. Moreover, the potential of waste biomass such as vine (Vitis vinifera L.) pruning [4], corn cobs (Zea mays) [5], sugarcane bagasse (Saccharum officinarum) [6] sunflower (Helianthus annus L.) stalks [7] or even food waste [8] to produce particleboards has also been studied. These works have provided alternative applications for otherwise undervalued products, which currently are mostly used for energetic valorization [9,10], as due to the specificity of its formation, wood belongs to the group of natural and renewable energy sources [11].…”

Estudo de biofilmes funcionais como revestimento em painéis multicamada para uso em instalação agroindustrial

“…Foi possível observar na imagem ampliada na Figura 46 (A), que a camada interna (CI) apresentou maior frequência de poros com perímetros maiores que 2 mm. A porosidade está em função do tamanho das partículas e está diretamente relacionada às propriedades físicas do painel (FIORELLI, et al, 2017). Possivelmente, a prensagem proporcionou uma orientação das partículas diminuindo a interação entre as camadas, como pode ser observado pelo valor de adesão interna menor no painel PMBB-M1 com prensagem entre as camadas.…”
