Tectona grandis (teak) is one of the most important timber species worldwide and India is one of the major teak growing countries. Though some volume equations were developed for teak in India but the models developed were neither evaluated using robust statistical criteria nor validated. Hence, the objective of this study was to develop statistically tested appropriate volume equation to predict total wood volume (over- and under-bark) for teak trees in Gujarat. A total of 41 trees with age varying from 15 to 33 years and diameter at breast height (dbh) from 7.3 to 30.8 cm were felled for the purpose. Linear and non-linear equations were used to model the relationship of the total wood volume with respect to dbh and total height. The equations tested mostly fitted well to the data. Model evaluation and validation indicated that models should be calibrated with local data for greater accuracy in the prediction.

Pine (Pinus densiflora) and aspen (Populus euramericana) wood meals were treated with ozone at various time schedule in acidic condition. The lignin contents and surface area of the ozone treated wood meals were determined and the enzymatic hydrolysis rate of ozonated wood meals was evaluated. The feasibility of enzymatic hydrolysis of the ozone treated wood meal was obviously influenced with the degree of delignification. After ozone treatment of wood meal for 10min, total pore volume were slightly increased in the surface of wood meal. When wood meals were treated with ozone longer than 10min, few change in the pore volume was observed. However, the area of over $50{\AA}$ of pore size is increased with ozonation time. As a conclusion, the rate of enzymatic hydrolysis of wood is more effective with the pore size distribution than the total pore volume.

The objective of this study was to examine changes in the porosity and internal structure of wood as it goes through the process of saccharification (extraction of fermentable sugars). This study also examined the use of different drying methods to prepare samples for characterization of internal pores, with particular emphasis on the partially disrupted cell wall. Aspen wood flour samples after dilute acid pretreatment followed by enzymatic hydrolysis were examined for nitrogen adsorption. The resulting isotherms were analyzed for surface area, pore size distribution, and total pore volume. Results showed that freeze drying (with sample pre-freezing) maintains the cell wall structure, allowing for examination of saccharification effects. Acid pretreatment (hemicellulose removal) doubled the surface area and tripled the total volume of pores, which were mostly 10-20 nm wide. Subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis (cellulose removal) caused a 5-fold increase in the surface area and a ~ 11-fold increase in the total volume of pores, which ranged from 5 to 100 nm in width. These results indicate that nitrogen adsorption analysis is a feasible technique to examine the internal pore structure of lignocellulosic residues after saccharification. The information on the pore structure will be useful when considering value-adding options for utilizing the solid waste for biofuel production.

본 연구는 한국산 주요 수종의 간벌재 및 목질재료 탄화물의 흡착 특성과 기본적인 성질과의 관계를 검토하였다. 탄화온도가 높아지고, 탄화시간이 길어짐에 따라 국산 간벌재 탄화물의 메틸렌블루 흡착량(MBA)이 증가하는 경향을 보였지만, 탄화온도 600℃에서 최고치를 보이는 목재 수종도 있었다. 수종간 MBA에는 큰 차이가 있었는데 가장 큰 값은 잣나무 탄화물(134 m²/g)이였고, 가장 작은 값은 굴참나무 탄화물(34 m²/g)이였다. 또한 침엽수재는 활엽수재보다 높은 MBA를 나타냈으며, MBA와 탄화전 간벌재의 기건비중과는 부의 상관성을 나타냈다. 목질재료 탄화물의 MBA도 탄화온도가 높아지고, 탄화시간이 길어짐에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였고, 목질 재료간 MBA의 차이는 크지 않았다. 목질재료 탄화물의 MBA는 간벌재 탄화물에 비해 낮은 수준을 나타내는 것으로 드러났다. 탄화온도가 높아지고, 탄화시간이 길어짐에 따라 간벌재 및 목질재료 탄화물의 비표면적, 총세공용적은 증가하는 경향을 보였고, 탄화온도 600℃에서 MBA의 최고치를 보인 수종은 비표면적도 같은 온도에서 최고치를 나타냈다. MBA와 비표면적 및 총 세공용적간에는 정의 상관을 보였다. 목질재료 탄화물에는 주로 미세 세공이 발달하는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

이 연구는 정부의 목재산업진흥 종합계획에 기초하여 장기적인 산림의 영급구조 변화와 국내재 공급 가능성에 대해 살펴보았다. 목재는 주벌과 수종갱신, 피해지 벌채, 솎아베기 등을 통하여서만 공급된다고 가정하였다. 영급별 면적의 동태적인 변화를 추정하기 위하여 코호트 관계식을 이용하였다. 2010년 전체 시업지의 7.7%에 불과하던 6영급 면적이 크게 증가하여 2100년에는 약 73% 정도를 차지할 것으로 분석되었다. 반면 다른 영급의 면적은 5.3~5.6%의 분포를 나타낼 것으로 전망된다. 목재공급에 있어서는 주벌에 의한 생산이 93~95%를 차지할 것으로 예상된다. 2영급과 3영급의 면적에 좌우되는 솎아베기 생산량은 면적의 감소와 함께 점진적으로 줄어들 것으로 예상된다. 국내재 예상 공급을 선행연구 결과로 제시된 국내재 예상 수요와 비교하여 자급률을 계산한 결과 2050년에 83% 정도 될 것으로 예상된다.

This study evaluates the economic feasibility of industrializing fluidized bed dryer for wood particles. The theoretically required heat energy and energy efficiency were evaluated using a pilot scale fluidized bed dryer. When Mongolian Oak wood particles with 50% initial moisture content were dried in the fluidized bed dryer with air of $70^{\circ}C$ air circulating at 1.1-1.3 m/s for 30 minutes, the total theoretically required heat energy was 2,177 kJ. Of this, 1,763 kJ (approximately 81.0%) was used to heat the air flowing in from outside the dryer and 386 kJ (approximately 17.7%) was used to heat and remove water from the wood particles. Actual energy consumed was 7,560 kJ, giving energy efficiency of 28.8%. Thus, to industrialize a drying method such as fluidized bed drying, where the dryer volume is significantly larger than the volume of wood particles, it is necessary to minimize energy loss and maximize energy efficiency by designing the dryer size considering the amount of wood particles and choosing a suitable air circulation rate.

본 연구에서는 소나무(Pinus Densiflora)와 잣나무(Pinus Koraensis)에 대한 연소특성을 비교 평가하였다. 두 수종은 한옥의 부재로 널리 사용되고 있으며, 그 체적밀도는 소나무가 잣나무에 비하여 상대적으로 큰 값을 가지고 있다. 목재의 연소특성은 해당 수종의 체적밀도와 밀접한 관계를 갖고 있는데 본 연구에서 방염성능에 있어서는 뚜렷한 차이를 확인하기는 어려웠지만 콘칼로리미터 시험방법에 있어서는 총 방출열량, 평균 열방출률 비교를 통하여 목재 수종의 체적밀도의 상관성을 확인하였다. CO/$CO_2$의 비로부터 알 수 있는 연소가스의 유해성은 난연처리에 의해 높아진 것으로 나타났다.

A total of forty five-ply, 30- by 30-cm lauan and larch plywood sheets were manufactured in the laboratory using commercial urea and phenol resin adhesives; half of these sheets were treated with fresh concrete. Each sheet was carbonized for 2, 4, and 6hours at $400^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$, and $750^{\circ}C$, respectively, and their physical properties were measured. The yie1d of charcoal decreased as carbonization temperature and time increased. Charcoal yield was greater in plywood than in veneer, and slightly greater in plywood treated with concrete compared to untreated plywood. Plywood manufactured with phenol resin adhesive had higher pH, higher equilibrium moisture content (EMC), and greater adsorption of methylene-blue dye compared to plywood manufactured with urea resin. For concrete-treated plywood, pH was greater than 10 even when the sheets were carbonized for 2hours at $400^{\circ}C$. Although the EMC of the phenol resin plywood was higher than that of the urea resin plywood, EMC of the phenol resin was lower than that of the urea resin. The larch phenol resin plywood that was carbonized for 6 hours at $750^{\circ}C$ adsorbed more methylene-blue than did the commercia1 wood-based activated charcoal as a result of total pore volume and surface area.

Timber harvest in natural forests and its implications on carbon sequestration were investigated in the Southwestern Nigeria. Data on timber harvest from forest estates for a 3-year period were collected from the official record of States' Forestry Department. The data registered the species, volume and number of timbers exploited during the study period. The data were analyzed accordingly for rate of timber harvest and carbon value of the exploited timbers using existing biomass functions. Values were compared for significant differences among states using one way analysis of variance. The results showed that the most exploited logs, in terms of volume and number of trees, have the highest amount of carbon removal. There was a variation in type of timber species being exploited from each state. The total number of harvested trees from Oyo, Ondo, Ogun, Ekiti and Osun were estimated at 100,205; 111,789; 753; 15,884 and 18,153 respectively. Total quantity of carbon removed for the 3-year period stood at 2.3 million metric tons, and this translated to 8.4 million metric tons of $CO_2$. The annual carbon and $CO_2$ removal therefore were estimated at 760,120.73 tons and 2.8 million tons/ year respectively. There were significant differences (p<0.05) in the amount of $CO_2$ removed from the five states. Based on our result, we inferred that there is increasing pressure on economic tree species and it is plausible that they are becoming scarce from the forests in Southwestern Nigeria.. If the present rate of log removal is not controlled, forests could become carbon source rather than carbon sink and the on biological conservation, wood availability and climate change may turn out grave. For the forest to perform its environmental role as carbon sink, urgent conservation measures and logging policies are needed to be put in place.
