Optimization of processing variables during heat treatment of oak (Quercus mongolica) wood
The properties of oak heat treated at temperatures of 160–220 °C, oxygen concentrations of 2–10 %, steam pressures of 0.1–0.4 MPa and treatment time of 2–4 h were investigated. Although modulus of elasticity (...

Effect of different drying methods on liquid penetration of Chinese fir plantation wood
Chinese fir plantation sapwood and heartwood boards were treated by three drying methods: radio frequency-vacuum drying (RFVD), conventional kiln drying (KD) and high temperature drying (HTD). The maximum amou...
