Abstract

Ganitri (Elaeocarpus sphaericus Schum.) is a fast-growing species that was majority planted in community-based forets in Java. This research aimed to evaluate the natural durability and drying properties of ganitri wood, hence the best uses of the wood can be achieved. The wood durability was tested in laboratory and field scales based on SNI 7207:2014  and ASTM D 1758-02 standards respectively, while the wood treatibilty evaluation used soaking method with 5% borax preservative. The wood drying property was assessed through oven drying at 100°C temperature based on Terazawa method. The resistance of the wood against subterranean termites Coptotermes curvignathus is classified as durability class IV. Ganitri wood was very easy to be preserved with the cold soaking method.  Boron retention in ganitri was 22.87 kg.m-³, while its penetration was 27.80 mm or 94.24%. Ganitri had rather poor drying properties, which was prone to surface check. The proper drying for ganitri wood was suggested using initial and final temperatures 53°C and 83°C, respectively, while the initial and final relative humidity were 85% and 30%.

Abstract

This paper investigates five groups of compressed wood (CF), four of them made from compressed Japanese cedar with four different compression ratios (CR) of 33%, 50%, 67% and 70% and one without compression (control). The specimens were conditioned in relative humidity (RH) of 60% with moisture content (MC) of 12%. Mechanical properties tested were shear modulus in LR, LT and RT planes by single cube test method, Young’s modulus in the L, R, T directions and poisson’s ratios in all planes. Results showed that in comparison with control specimen, the average improvement on density with CR improvement were 25%, 75%, 175% and 261% corresponding to CRs of 33%, 50%, 67% and 70% respectively. It was also found that Young’s modulus in the L and T directions increased significantly with the increase of CR. Shear modulus of RT plane increased with the rise of CR. Poisson’s ratios tended to decrease with increasing compression ratio of CW.

Abstract

Fifteen year-old teak wood samples planted in Ciamis FMU (Perhutani Enterprise) were evaluated for their chemical properties. Three seed sources such as conventional seed, clone, and superior wood and radial positions namely sapwood, outer heartwood, and inner heartwood were the observed factors. The specimens were taken from the bottom parts of their sources. Completely randomized design was used. Cell wall components were analyzed by various gravimetric methods.Analysis of variance and Duncan’s test were performed for data analysis. The results showed that no significant difference in the quantity of cell wall components (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin), extractives (ethanol-toluene and hot-water solubles), ash, and silica content among the seed sources. Superior teakwood or Jati Plus Perhutani, which has the highest growth rate (2.1~3.6 cm/year) among others, showed a comparative higher average pH values (7.08~7.38) and solubility in 1% NaOH (17.22~17.83%) than other sources. Radial factors significantly affected ethanol-toluene extractive and lignin content. The ethanol-toluene extractive had the highest content (9.30~11.54%) at the outer part of heartwood while lignin content was the lowest (28.12~30.10%) in the inner part. The result indicated some good characteristics of young teak trees compared to the mature ones in relation to wood processing.

Abstract

Papua has a large area of production forests, such as in Merauke. These forests provide great benefits for the pulp and wooden industries, which generate a large amount of biomass waste. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the proximate analysis, specific gravity, calorific value, and Fuelwood Value Index (FVI) of wood and bark of five species, namely Acacia mangium Willd, Acacia crassicarpa A. Cunn, Eucalyptus pellita F. Muell, Melaleuca viridiflora Sol. Ex Gaertn, and Lophostemon suaveolens Sol. Ex Gaertn. The calorific value ranged from 4,066 to 5,435 cal/g, while the FVI values ranged from 4.04 to 76.41. The highest calorific value was observed in the bark of Melaleuca viridiflora, while the highest fuelwood value index  was observed in Eucalyptus pellita wood. Furthermore, the calorific value of wood was higher compared to the bark in all species. There was no significant correlation between specific gravity, calorific or FVI value. It is noticed that a strong correlation (r = -0.92*) was observed between the calorific value and volatile matter in the bark. Based on the proximate analysis results, only the moisture content level was significantly correlated with the calorific value of wood or bark.

Abstract

This paper deals with analysis on chemical components of woods to predict ethanol production values. The aim is expected to give a reliable value of ethanol production, eliminating the effort needed to directly measure this ethanol production from each wood species. Since the data of wood chemical components is widely available, this result will be valuable in determining a potential use of a wood species as bio-ethanol feedstock. Saccharification and fermentation processes by enzymatic hydrolysis were applied for xylems derived from49 branch trees of Cibodas, 32 branch trees of Purwodadi, and 19 branch trees of Bali Botanical Gardens in Indonesia. Three major wood components were analysed, i.e. cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. The results show varied relationships between ethanol production and chemical components of wood. The content of cellulose in wood was not exactly related to its ethanol production. This trend was also occurred for the relationship between hemicellulose and ethanol production. However, lignin content in woods gave an expected trend where the less lignin content, the higher the ethanol production.Furthermore, the ratios of cellulose-hemicelluloses and cellulose-lignin have been quantified. The result showed that the celullose-lignin ratio can potentially be used to predict the value of ethanol production which is expressed by linear regression y = 0.0616x + 0.8341; where R² = 0.4127, x = ethanol production and y = cellulose-lignin ratio. Gymnostoma sumatranum with cellulose content of 43.8% and lignin content of 24.1% (celullose-lignin ratio of 1.8) has actual ethanol production of 12.1 mg/100mg wood meal, compared to 15.7 mg/100mg wood meal resulted from above equation. Therefore, by using its cellulose-lignin ratio, the woods having high ethanol production can be screened from literatures.
