Abstract

Sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria (L.) Nielsen) is a fast-growing and versatile species that has been established in community forests. Many sawmills utilize sengon wood as a raw material which generates wastes in the form of sawdust and slab consisting of a mixture of bark and wood. Those wastes are widely used by communities and home industries as fuel. The objective of this study was to characterize the energy properties of slab wastes from sengon sawmills in Wonosobo dan Sleman Regencies. The results showed that the calorific value and fuelwood value index (FVI) ranges were 4,089 to 4,749 cal/g and 2.71 to 18.74, respectively. The values of density ranged from 0.23 to 0.94 g/cm3. The proximate analysis showed that the values of moisture and ash contents ranged from 13.90 to 20.03% and from 0.30 to 4.59%, respectively, whereas volatile matter and fixed carbon contents ranged from 75.84 to 88.94% and from 10.23 to 20.62%, respectively. In general, the slab samples from Wonosobo gave higher values in fixed carbon content and FVI but smaller values in density, moisture content, volatile matter content, and ash content than those of the samples in Sleman. The bark part showed higher amounts in density, moisture content, fixed carbon content, and ash content but lower in volatile matter content, calorific value, and FVI than the wood part. Based on the wood consumption, sawmill recovery, calorific value, and dry weight biomass value, the potential annual energy from slab wastes in Sleman and Wonosobo reached 1,374 × 1013 cal (equivalent to 1,525,222  L of kerosene) and 1.521 × 1014 cal (equivalent to 16,884,016 L of kerosene), respectively.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of heartwood proportion on wood properties for construction materials by reviewing 98 journal articles and non-articles. The data were collected through an online search using seven keywords: heartwood proportion, heartwood effect, physical properties, mechanical properties, wood dimensional stability, wood gluing, and wood preservation. By eliminating the irrelevant papers, 45 journal articles and non-articles were selected. The review shows that the proportion of heartwood has a positive correlation with wood density and dimensional stability. High wood density will have a positive correlation with the mechanical properties of wood. However, the dimensional stability is not only affected by the proportion of the heartwood but also the microfibril angle and the arrangement of the wood cells. Further, sapwood has a higher moisture content than heartwood. The high moisture content causes the wood drying process to take longer and require more energy. However, it should be noted that the heartwood in some Acacia species has a higher moisture content than that in the sapwood, which is commonly called wet heartwood. Therefore, a suitable treatment is needed to minimize the moisture content in the heartwood. In addition, heartwood is difficult to preserve because of the high extractive content in the lumen. The color of the wood is another important indicator to determine the quality of wood, especially the heartwood color, because it is related to the aesthetic value and durability of the wood. Meanwhile, a better understanding of the acid and alkaline properties of extractive substances is necessary to perfectly conduct the wood gluing process.

Abstract

With regard to black-streaked discoloration of teak wood, the ethyl acetate extract from successive extraction was examined.  By column chromatography, tectol and and two unknown compounds i.e. C-1 (molecular weight of 240) and C-2 (molecular weight of 210) were isolated. Discoloration tests, i.e. air oxidation, acidic (acetic acid), and alkaline (potassiun hydrogen carbonate) treatments were conducted to the isolated and other standard quinoine compounds (tectoquinone, lapachol, 2-tert-buthyl- anthraqunone, 2-hydroxy-methyl-anthraqunone). The results showed that tectol changes its color by the considerable decreasing in brightness whereas C-1 showed huge decrease in yellowness by air oxydation. Tectol did not change its color in pH value of 2.9 to 8.3 but C-1, C-2, and lapachol did change. Tectoquinone was hardly change color under alkaline or acidic treatment. The difference in quinone coloration might be due the structural features of a hydroxyl group and a double bond conjugated

Abstract

Dalbergia latifolia wood is a beautiful wood with color of dark purple to dark brown and rich in flavonoid compounds. This study aimed to investigate the presence of flavonoid compounds from D. latifolia wood and their contribution to its color. The D. latifolia wood sample was powdered and extracted with ethanol-toluene (1/2, v/v). The ethanol- toluene extract then was column chromatographed to obtain fraction 1 to fraction 12. Methylation was conducted to each fraction to detect flavonoid compounds by GC-MS. The results of GC-MS analysis showed that ethanol- toluene extract gave Fr- 1- Fr. 3 as soluble flavonoids (34.2%) and Fr. 4- Fr. 12 as insoluble polymers (62.6%). Furthermore, 12 flavonoids i.e latifolin, dalbergiphenol, chalcone, dalbergin, and their derivatives were characterised and these compounds might be significance in contributing to color of D. latifolia wood.

Abstract

Electric power generation by thermoelectric material utilizing radiated heat of from roof’s house, engine and others is potential clean energy in tropical areas such as Indonesia. In this study, thermoelectric materials such as silicon carbide (SiC/SiO2/C) composites were developed from carbonized Cryptomeria japonica wood infiltrated ethyl silicate-40 by sintering at 1400, 1600 and 1800 ºC for 30 min under N2 atmosphere. This study aimed to examine the morphology, microstructure and thermoelectric properties of porous SiC/SiO2/C composites. SiC/SiO2/C composites sintered at 1600 ºC with low value of thermal conductivity was potential for the development of thermoelectric material. The oxidation of SiC/SiO2/C composite sintered at 1600 °C which removed parts of residual silica and carbon, transformed the composite exhibiting p-type semiconductor with low values of Seebeck coefficient of to that exhibiting n-type semiconductor with high values Seebeck coefficient. A maximum of figure of merit of 6.25 x 10--5 K-1 was obtained at 140 ºC in the oxidized SiC/SiO2/C composite sintered at 1600 °C. The comparatively high figure of merit indicates the potentiality the material for thermoelectric purpose.
