Biomass yield and energy potential of short-rotation energy plantations of Gmelina arborea one year old in Costa Rica
(Elsevier, 2016)
Short-rotation woody plantations have been recently established in Costa Rica and Gmelina arborea has
gained popularity The present work assesses tree diameter and height, biomass distribution, specific
gravity, green ...
Effects on density, shrinking, color changing and chemical surface analysis through FTIR of Tectona grandis thermo-treated: Density, shrinking, color changing and chemical analysis by FTIR of the thermally-treated teak wood
(Forest Sciences, 2016)
Thermal-treatment wood is used as an option to improve durability of wood in recent years. This study
evaluated the effect of temperature in thermally treated Tectona grandis wood in density, shrinking, color
changing ...
Biopulp from pineapple leaf fiber produced by colonization with two white-rot fungi: Trametes versicolor and Pleurotus ostreatus
(BioResources, 2016)
Trametes versicolor and Pleurotus ostreatus were used for the biopulping from pineapple leaf fiber (PALF). PALF substrate was subjected to T. versicolor for 2 to 6 weeks and to P. ostreatus for 4 to 8 weeks. The yields, ...
Characteristics and properties of torrefied biomass pellets from Gmelina arborea and Dipterix panamensis at different times
(Revista Chapingo, Serie Ciencias Forestales y del Ambiente, 2016)
Torrefaction and pelletizing were studied in the generation of energy from
lignocellulosic residues to increase the energy properties of the biomass. The aim of
this study was torrefied sawdust from Gmelina arborea and ...
Reducing warp and checking in 4 by 4 beams from small-diameter tropical species (tectona grandis, gmelina arborea, and cordia alliodora) obtained by turning the pith inside out.
(Forest Products Society, 2015)
Small-diameter logs from plantation trees are prone to warp and to produce checks due to the presence of juvenile wood, growth stresses, and asymmetric shrinkage during the drying process. In the present study, we analyzed ...
Evaluation of biodeterioration and the dynamic modulus of elasticity of wood in ten fast-growing tropical species in costa rica exposed to field testing
(Statny Drevarsky Vyskumny Ustav, 2015)
In tropical regions, it is possible to produce a large variety of timber species in plantation conditions. However, wood from these trees has low natural durability. Biodeterioration and the dynamic modulus of elasticity ...
Production and quality analysis of pellets manufactured from five potential energy crops in the Northern Region of Costa Rica
(Biomass and Bioenergy, 2016)
Modifications to a pellet manufacturing process must be made based on the characteristics of raw
material used. The purpose of this work was to determine the alternations required to a wood pellet
manufacturing process ...
Mineral content in relation to radial position, altitude, chemical properties and density of persian ironwood
(Universidade Federal de Sao Carlos, 2015)
Persian ironwood (Parrotia persica) is native species from Iran and covers 10,54% of the commercial volume. Its wood structure and its chemical composition are affected by growth conditions. The aim of the study was to ...
Wood characterization of adult clones of Tecnona grandis growing in Costa Rica
(CERNE, 2015)
Tectona grandis is an important wood in the commercial market due to its
excellent workability, durability and aesthetic characteristics. Therefore, it is important to
improve the conditions of reproduction and development ...
Surface chemical and color characterization of juvenile tectona grandis wood subjected to steam-drying treatments
(2016)
The color of Tectona grandis wood is an attribute that favors its commercialization, however, wood
color from fast-growth plantation trees is clear and lacks uniformity. The aim of this work is to
characterize steamed ...
