“…Particleboard with synthetic adhesives and different manufacturing procedures have been studied using fibers or chips of date palm [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], washingtonia palm [5,[16][17][18], and canary palm [19][20][21]. Other studies have been performed using date palm pruning waste as a reinforcement in concrete [22][23][24], in gypsum [25], and in the manufacturing of different composites [25][26][27]. Most of these works were aimed at the use of palm pruning waste to produce thermal insulating materials [18,21,22,25,[28][29][30].…”

Palm trees are very fast-growing species. Their management produces annually a large amount of biomass that traditionally has been either disposed of at dumping sites or has been burnt onsite. This paper presents an experimental study to obtain particleboard using this biomass in a low energy process (short pressing time and low pressing temperature), using particles of different sizes from the rachis (midrib) of the three palm species most representative of urban gardening in Spain: canary palm (Phoenix canariensis hort. ex Chabaud), date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) and washingtonia palm (Washingtonia robusta H. Wendl). Their physical and mechanical properties were tested, and the feasibility of their use as a construction material was evaluated. The results showed that the manufactured particleboard had similar performance to conventional wood particleboard and good thermal insulation properties. Boards made with the canary species showed better mechanical performance. The properties of the particleboard depended on the particle size and species. The use of the pruning waste of palm trees to produce durable materials such as particleboard could be beneficial to the environment since it is a method of carbon fixation, helping to decrease atmospheric pollution and reducing the amount of waste that ends in dumping sites.

The giant reed (Arundo donax L.) is considered one of the world's 100 worst invasive species. The main method by which this species propagates is by growth of scattered fragments of rhizome, spreading without control with very strong, deep roots. Agricultural waste consists of lignocellulosic materials that can substitute natural wood and offer a suitable alternative with which to manufacture boards for furniture, packaging and building purposes. The objectives of this work were to obtain binderless particleboards using giant reed rhizome as the raw material, to evaluate their mechanical and physical properties according to the applicable European standards and to assess the self-binding mechanism of the particles in the board. Six types of boards (12 classes) were manufactured with giant reed rhizome biomass. They were manufactured with a temperature of 110 • C, a pressure of 2.5 MPa and pressing times of 7 and 15 min, applying one or two pressing cycles. The results achieved for modulus of rupture (14.2 N/mm 2 ), modulus of elasticity (2052.45 N/mm 2 ) and internal bonding strength (1.12 N/mm 2 ) show that the mechanical properties were improved by using a smaller rhizome particle size and two pressing cycles.

“…Con partículas de tallos de arroz [42] y palmera canaria [40] se obtienen mejores propiedades al someter los tableros a presión de forma cíclica, en cambio con el casco exterior de la almendra empeoran las propiedades. Será necesario comprobar la fabricación de estos tableros utilizando menores tiempos en la prensa de platos calientes, ya que este material tiene distinto comportamiento al ser sometido a calor y presión.…”

Resumen: Con el fin de reducir el consumo energético y favorecer el impacto ambiental en la fabricación de nuevos productos se están desarrollando muchas investigaciones encaminadas a incrementar el uso de recursos renovables y ecológicos como las fibras vegetales. El almendro es un árbol caducifolio originario de las zonas mediterráneas, aunque actualmente Estados Unidos es el principal productor de almendras del mundo. El fruto del almendro tiene tres partes diferenciadas: el núcleo interno o la carne, la parte media dura de la cáscara y la cubierta o casco exterior de la cáscara (exocarpo y mesocarpo). En este trabajo se analiza el uso de un residuo de la almendra para obtener tableros de partículas ecológicos. Se ha usado como materia prima el casco exterior de la almendra triturado, obteniendo 4 tipos de partículas. Se han elaborado 8 tipos tableros sin utilizar ningún tipo de adhesivo. Se evaluó el efecto del tiempo en la prensa y el tamaño de las partículas empleadas en la fabricación de los tableros en algunas propiedades físicas y mecánicas En este estudio se demuestra que es técnicamente posible el desarrollo de tableros con este material, ya que la alta dureza obtenida hace viable su empleo para pavimentos de madera en el interior de las edificaciones.Palabras clave: Tableros de partículas, exocarpo, Prunus dulcis (Mill) D.A, libre de adhesivos.
