Abstract

Biopulping black liquor, byproduct from biopulping process using white-rot fungi (Phanerochaete chrysosporium) that has been incubated for 30 and 45 days, was used as preservative of Jabon wood (Anthocephalus cadambaMiq.). The main objectives of this study was to investigate the effect of various dipping durations of preservative on absorption process into wood and the weight loss of un-preserved and preserved wood againts fungal attack. Preservation method used in this study was dipping method with various dipping durations (i.e. 10, 30, and 60 minutes) with triplicate. The result showed that dipping process of of Jabon wood into biopulping black liquor for 60 minutes demonstrated the highest retention, i.e.0.21 g/cm3. The weight losses suffered fom by un-preserved and preserved Jabon wood were 55.19% to 55.67% and 6.64% to 12.78%, respectively. Biopulping black liquor had improved the resistance of Jabon wood to both white-rot and brown rot fungi attacks compared to untreated wood sample.

Abstract

In this present study, we focused on how the changes in the best microwave pretreatment affected the performance of enzymatic and microwave hydrolysis of pretreated bamboo. This solid fraction was subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis following NRE L protocol and microwave acid-hydrolysis with/without presence of activated carbon (0.5 g/g) at 1% and 5% of sulfuric acid concentration for 512.5 m at 330 watt. Short duration microwave-acid hydrolysis of microwave pretreated bamboo showed better reducing sugar yield than that of enzymatic one. Microwave heating for 12.5 inm at 330 W hydrolyzed with 1% acid using microwave irradiation demonstrated a high reducing sugar yield (25.81% of dry biomass or 27.12% of dry substrate). In this treatment, 37.92% of hollocellulose can be converted into reducing sugar or equivalent to 36.12% of maximum potential sugar released. This yield was increased 6.09 times compared to the highest reducing sugar yield coming from enzymatic hydrolysis using 20 FPU/g of cellulase enzymes. Reducing sugar yield obtained with 5% microwave acid hydrolysis of microwave pretreatment for 5 m at 770 W was equal to the result of hydrolysis for 12.5 m at 330 W. Unfortunately, the activated carbon as solid catalyst in microwave hydrolysis could only reduce brown compound without reducing sugar yield improvement.

Abstract

Recently, pulp fiber-cement composites have found a practical application in the commercial market to replace hazardous asbestos fibers. For exterior applications, the effects of cyclical wetting and drying on the performance of cement composites were studied. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of filling wood fibers in cement composites prior to and after a wet/dry cycling treatment. The testing of kraft pulp fiber filling consisted of a 3, 5, and 7% of volume fraction of the composite. The target density and water to cement ratio of the composites produced was 1.5 gcm -3 , with a 0.50 base on weight, respectively. Cement composites were formed and pressed into a mold to the targeted dimensions of 30 cm × 2.5 cm × 2.5 cm (length × width × thickness) for 24hours, before they were removed from the mold. They were then subjected into two curing system conditions. First, the boards were immersed in a water tank at 18 ± 2 °C for 28 days and then tested for their mechanical properties. Secondly, the samples were immersed in the same conditions as before, but followed by a wet/dry curing cycling for 6 times before the mechanical properties were tested. Mechanical characteristics were observed according to ASTM C293-94 for flexural strength and ASTM C116-90 for compressive strength by using a Universal Testing Machine (UTM). The addition of pulp fiber and the wet/dry cycling treatment gave a significantly linear effect on the mechanical properties of composites. The higher amount of wood fiber filling in the cement composites resulted in a lower flexural and compressive strength of the composites. Furthermore, the wet/dry cycling treatment tended to lower the flexural strength, but not the compressive strength of the composites.
