Abstract

The hammer-milled characteristics of waste wood materials such as lumber, plywood, particleboard(PB), MDF and railroad tic were investigated in this study. The physical and mechanical properties of recycled boards according to types of recycled particle and the mixing ratios were also studied. The hammer-milled, waste wood materials had the dimensional distributions suitable for the core layer panicle. Bending strengths of recycled boards (one layer) were shown in order of plywood, PB(laboratory-fabricated with particles used in the PB factory), lumber, tego film-overlaid plywood, MDF, waste railroad tie, PB(factory-made) and LPL-overlaid PB. Cured resin and creosote containing waste wood contributed to dimensional stability of reconstituted boards. Considering the mixing effects between lumber and plywood with recycled PB particle, lumber particle was contributive to bending strength, MOE and internal bond(IB) strength, whereas plywood particle was contributive to dimensional stability. The bending and IB strength of 3 layer boards composing only recycled waste wood particles in core layer of board were in order of lumber, plywood, PB and MDF. On the other hand, the thickness swelling was in order of PB, lumber, plywood and MDF. Bending strength of the 3 layer boards mixed with recycled PB-particle in the core layer had a decreasing tendency, as the mixing ratios of recycled PB-particles increased. The dimensional stability of 3 layer recycled board was improved as the mixing ratio of recycled PB-particle increased same as in one layer. Formaldehyde emission of boards fabricated with recycled PB-particles in the core layer of the PB was in the range of E2 grade (below 5.0mg/l).

폐목질원료로서, 제재, 합판, PB, MDF와 폐침목 등의 해머밀에 의한 파쇄특성과 재생파티클 종류와 혼합비율에 따른 재생보드의 물성을 구명함으로써, 보드원료로서 재자원화 하는 방안을 모색해 보고자 하였다. 그 결과, 재생보드의 휨성질은 목질원료의 입자형태 및 입도분포에 크게 영향을 받으며, 파티클, 섬유와 같은 element가 압축고화된 상태의 판넬(PB, MDF)로부터 재생한 파티클은 물성저하를 초래하였다. 그러나, 재생파티클에 이미 도포 경화된 수지에 의해 재생보드의 치수안정성이 향상되는 효과가 있다. 따라서, 보드원료로서의 적합한 요건은 건전폐목재(제재, 합판)와 저급폐목재(PB, MDF)의 적정한 혼용에 있다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 건전폐목재 재생파티클과 재생 PB파티클의 혼용시험에서 제재파티클이 휨성질(MOR, MOE)과 박리강도에 기여하고, 합판파티클은 치수안정성에 더욱 기여하는 경향을 나타냈다. 또한 보드의 중층용 원료로 재생PB파티클의 혼합비율을 증가함에 따라서 보드의 휨성능이 감소되는 경향을 나타냈지만 혼합률 40%까지는 유의차가 없이 보드 15형(MOR : $153kgf/cm^2$, MOE : $27.5tonf/cm^2$) 수준의 성능이 구비되었다. 향후 생활폐목재(폐가구 등)와 같은 저급폐목재의 활용방안이 강구된다면 보드원료의 수급에 한층 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
