TL;DR: In this article, the quality evaluation of briquettes made from wood waste was investigated and the basic physical-mechanical proper ties were the evaluation criteria, including gross calorific value, total moisture content, density, rupture force, length, diameter, density and mechanical durability.
Abstract: Brožek M., Novakova A., Kolařova M. , 2012. Quality evaluation of briquettes made from wood waste . Res. Agr. Eng., 58: 30–35. At logging and at the subsequent wood and wood semi-products treatment the fine grained loose waste arises, e.g. wood dust, saw dust, shavings, chips, bark etc. One of possibilities of its meaningful utilization is the briquetting technology, products of which are briquettes determined for energetic utilization (combustion). In the paper the experimental results are published. The briquettes quality evaluation was their aim. For the briquetting tests bark (pine), shavings (about 90% spruce + 10% pine), sawdust (spruce), birch chips and poplar chips were used. The basic physical-mechanical proper ties were the evaluation criteria. Following properties were determined: gross calorific value, total moisture content, density, rupture force, length, diameter, density and mechanical durability.

TL;DR: In this paper, the kinetic parameters of crystallization of polypropylene matrix by differential scanning calorimetry were investigated. And the chemical treatment of wood caused changes of crystal conversion and half crystallisation time.
Abstract: The mechanical properties of wood/polypropylene composites depend strongly on interfacial adhesion between components However, the application of chemical modification to improve compatibility can influence the supermolecular structure of polypropylene matrix The experimental material comprised two most common Polish timber species pine wood (Pinus silvestris L) as a softwood species and beech wood (Fagus silvatica L) as a hardwood species The size of wood sawdust ranged from 05 to 10 mm Three different types of wood/PP mixture were prepared: (1) PP – untreated wood, (2) PP – NaOH treated wood and (3) PP – esterified wood with maleic anhydride In this work, the kinetic parameters of crystallization of PP by differential scanning calorimetry were investigated It is interesting that crystallisation of PP depends on the kind of wood The chemical treatment of wood caused changes of crystal conversion and half crystallisation time of polypropylene matrix

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated three different methods for the conversion of wood residue (sawdust) to reducing sugars: alkaline wet air oxidation (WAO), alkaline peroxide assisted WAO, and enzymatic hydrolysis methods.
Abstract: In this study alkaline wet air oxidation (WAO), alkaline peroxide assisted wet air oxidation (APAWAO), and enzymatic hydrolysis methods were evaluated for conversion of wood residue (sawdust) to reducing sugars.
