The characteristics of radio-frequency/vacuum drying Japanese larch boxed heart round logs with 150 mm and 210 mm in diameter and 2,500 mm in length, subjected to compressive loading, after the pretreatment of kerf were investigated. The results of this study were as the follows: The drying time of about 120 hours~130 hours was needed from green to about 15 percent of moisture content. The gradient of final moisture content for all specimens was very gentle in both longitudinal and transverse directions owing to dielectric heating. The surface checks seriously occurred although the occurrence extent of surface check for the kerfed specimens was slight compared with that for the control specimens because drying stress was relieved by kerf. The occurrence of surface checks for the L-specimen was more serious than that for the S-specimen.

This work was conducted to examine the relationship between lignin content and the durability of larch (LAR) pellets. LAR sawdust was immersed in tap water (TW), sulfuric acid (AC) and sodium hydroxide (AK) solutions, and then the immersed sawdust was used for pellet fabrication. Klason lignin (KL) content of the immersed LAR, contents of soluble lignin (SL) and monomeric sugars liberated from the immersion of LAR, and durability of LAR pellets were measured. KL content decreased as the concentration of AC and AK solutions increased, but glucose content increased with increase in AC and AK concentration. Durability of wood pellets fabricated using non-immersed LAR sawdust was the highest, followed by those made using TW-, AK- and AC-immersed sawdust. LAR pellets became more durable as the concentration of KL and SL increased, but a significant positive correlation was found only between pellet durability and KL content. Through the fluorescent microscopic observation and SEM-EDX analysis, it was verified that lignin content of non-immersed LAR pellets was higher than that of AC- and AK-immersed LAR pellets. These results suggest that lignin might contribute to an increase in inter-particle bonding in wood pellets.

본 연구에서는 산 및 알칼리 처리가 목질계 바이오매스의 주요 화학조성 변화에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해 $H_2SO_4$와 NaOH를 각각 1.0 wt%와 2.0 wt% 수용액으로 제조한 후 국내 주요 수종인 백합나무와 낙엽송에 상온에서 72시간 침지 처리하였다. 리그닌, 주요 구성당, 원소분석 등 화학적 특성 분석을 수행하고 그 결과를 통계프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 동일한 화학적 처리에도 수종에 따라 95% 유의수준에서 유의한 결과를 확인하였다. 백합나무는 산 처리에 민감한 변화를 보이는 반면에 낙엽송에서는 알칼리 처리에서 유의한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 두 수종 모두에서 glucose보다는 헤미셀룰로오스에 미치는 영향이 큰 것으로 분석되었으며, 바이오매스의 에너지량과 밀접한 관계가 있는 H/C와 O/C 비율을 이용한 Van Krevelen 다이어그램에서는 산 또는 알칼리 처리 종류에 관계없이 수종에 따라 상반된 결과를 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 바이오매스 종류에 따라 각기 다른 최적화된 바이오에너지 생산 공정이 필요함을 의미하며, 목재펠릿과 같은 고형 바이오연료 생산의 경우 바이오매스 내 헤미셀룰로오스 및 리그닌 함량 변화로 인하여 내구성에 영향을 미칠 것으로 분석되었다.

Economical use of larix (larch) boards (grade 3) in industries is lower than that of imported hardwood; thus, studies have been conducted toward performance improvement of larix boards. Herein, flexural modulus of larix board samples laminated with wood adhesives polyurethane resins, poly (vinyl acetate) resins, phenol-resorcinol-formaldehyde resins, melamine-formaldehyde resins, and urea-formaldehyde resins was compared with that of the samples bonded with adhesives reinforced with mesh-type basalt fibers. Moreover, the flexural moduli of the laminated samples bonded by mesh-type basalt fibers were compared with those of reinforced samples. The results showed that boards laminated with polyurethane and urea-formaldehyde resin adhesives had higher flexural modulus than those without the lamination. In particular, the increase in the flexural modulus was relatively significant for the 2- and 3-ply board structures laminated with polyurethane adhesives compared to those with reinforcement. The 3-ply board structure without reinforcement had the highest flexural modulus when the urea-formaldehyde resin adhesive was used.

최근 국내에서 급격히 그 수요가 증가하고 있는 낙엽송과 북미산 SPF(spruce-pine-fir) 규격재의 구조부재로서의 이용에 있어서 가장 간단하면서 많이 이용되는 파스너(fastener)인 못을 이용한 접합에 대해 그 전단성능을 검토하였다. 못접합은 특히 경골목구조(light frame construction)에서는 최적의 시공법으로 인식되고 있으며, 북미와 일본을 중심으로 못접합부에 대한 연구는 많이 진행되어 왔다. 현재 국내의 경골목구조와 기둥-보 공법에서 많이 이용되고 있는 구조부재(축재와 면재)의 못을 이용한 못접합부에 대해 그 전단성능의 기초적인 검토를 행하였다. 못접합부는 면재를 개입한 상태에서 주부재와 측면부재의 방향성에 따라 구분하여 주부재의 방향, 측면부재의 방향, 못의 종류에 따라 전단시험을 행하여 각각의 방향에 따른 못접합부의 전단성능을 비교 검토하였다. SPF 스터드재에 있어서는 낙엽송 집성재나 낙엽송 소재에 비해 못의 종류, 주부재와 면재의 방향성에 따른 전단성능의 차이가 현저하게 나타났다. 또한, 항복내력 및 최대내력과 접합계수와의 관계는 부재간의 배치상태에 따라 다르게 나타났다.

Sustainable energy consumption and increasing $CO_2$ emissions stimulate Eco-friendly industry. Wood has positive various properties as alternative energy such as solar, wind and water. Wood provide lumber, pallet, paper, pulp and fuel through production process. Even Korea republic has 63.7% of forest rates, weather condition makes low forestry production capacity. For utilization of domestic small diameter log needs study mechanical properties. In this study, various properties tested on domestic Japanese Larch small diameter lumbers and make mechanical properties table for allowable stress calculation. Result of compressive test, allowable compressive stress is 13 MPa. Allowable bending stress is 12 MPa.

Wood chips of oak(Quercus mongolica) and larch(Larix leptolepis) were treated with low pressure steaming explosion. Main components of exploded wood were separated with hot water and methanol extraction. Crude lignin separated from those extractives were purified and those chemical characteristics were investigated. And also, lignin adhesive was prepared from crude lignin and studied those chemical characteristics. The results can be summarized as follows ; 1. The purified lignin by Bj$\ddot{o}$kman's method from crude lignin is about 30% in exploded oak wood and is about 11% in exploded larch wood as a low amount. 2. The phenolic hydroxyl groups in the purified lignins are little higher than those of MWL and molecular weight distributions of the purified lignins are some lower than that of MWL. 3. Alkaline nitrobenzene oxidation products are very low in the clude lignin but those are increased in the purified lignin 4. The gravity of lignin resins(1.15 and 1.13) are a little lower than that of phenol resin(1.16) and the compressive shearing strength of lignin resins are higher than those of phenol resin.

The purpose of this study was to develop wood pots for create Optimum environment of plant growth using unused wood. to prove this, we examined the effects of cycle of water supply and nutrient concentration in wood pots on plant germination rate and growth factors (leaf number, stem diameter and length). The results are as follows. 1) The growth rate was higher at once of 2 days watering period. This suggests that the growth of the plants was better than that of the less water because the larch pots itself has the water retention capacity inside. 2) Germination rate and growth rate were better than other treatment groups when the concentration of nutrient solution was 0.5%. 3) Nitrogen, available phosphoric acid, and potassium showed higher contents than the nutrient - treated soil at 0.5% concentration of nutrient solution. This indicates that the nutrient solution absorbed from the larch affected the soil and plant growth in the inside.

Hot-water soluble extracts were prepared from medium-sized barks of Siberian larch (Larix gmelineii). The extracts were fractionated by ultrafiltration method for producing uniform quality of adhesives. Molecular weight distribution of the extracts was ranged of 100 to 300.000. pH of the extracts affected amounts of flux, and the range of pH 6~pH 8 was proper for wood adhesives, because of easy concentration and fast gelation time. Removal of particles greater than $0.45{\mu}m$ from the extracts increased both filtration speed (flux) and yields of solids in the filtrates. In ultrafiltration process. operating pressure, filtrate temperature, and flow rate significantly increased with the increase of individual condition. Ultrafiltration using PM10 membrane was very effective to fractionate and concentrate the extracts. Removal of large particles greater than 0.45 m from the extracts increased filtration speed(flux) and yields of solids in the filtrates. A gelation time was accelerated with the increasing pH of the extracts and its concentration. The Stiasny precipitate(26%) from the filtrate obtained by PM 10 membrane was very lower than that(78%) of the retentates. This ultrafiltration method was efficient for obtaining high yield purified phenolic compounds.
