- MakaleAçık Erişim2025Particle board production using paper mill waste sludge and European black pine (Pinus nigra A.) wood chips
Karahan, Selim; Tekel, Muharrem
Paper mills use excessive amounts of water throughout production to produce paper. While mills treat water for reuse, sludge is generated and must be processed as a waste, along with some washing water. In this study, waste sludge from a kraft process mill mixed with up to 40% black pine (Pinus nigra) wood chips was investigated for multi-purpose board production using urea formaldehyde resin and ammonium chloride as a hardener. The panels were pressed at 150 degrees C for 7 minutes between 2.4 MPa and 2.6 MPa. The resulting panels were 18 mm thick, with a density of from 0.69 gr/cm3 to 0.71 g/cm3. Measurements of density, moisture, water absorption, thickness swelling, modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity and internal bond strength to the surface were carried out on the particle board panels. The results indicated that panels could be used for general purposes.

Karahan, Selim; Guler, Cengiz
This study investigated the potential use of Scots pine cones as an alternative raw material to larch wood chips for particle board production. Due to the increasing scarcity of forest resources, exploring alternative raw material for the forest industry has gained importance in in recent years. Particle boards were produced in laboratory conditions by blending industrial wood chips with Scots pine cones in varying proportions (25 %, 50 %, 75 % and 100 %) and usingr urea formaldehyde glue. The adhesice mixture contained 55 % urea formaldehyde glue and 33 % ammonium chloride as a hardener. Te production parameters included a press temperature of 150 °C, a press time was 7 minutes, and a press pressure of 2,4 MPa to 2,6 MPa. The resulting boards had a thickness of 16 mm and a density ranging from 730 kg/m3 to 740 kg/m3. Tests for thickness iswelling, water absorption, bending strength, modulus of elasticity and tensile strength perpendicular to the surface were conducted. Results showed that the physical and mechanical properties of the boards containing up to 25 % Scots pine cone met the required standards.

Karahan, Selim; Guler, Cengiz
In this study, under laboratory conditions, hazelnut husk and astragalus plant were mixed separately into black pine wood chips, and multi-purpose boards were produced from the obtained chips with urea formaldehyde glue. After the hazelnut husk and astragalus plant were dried and ground, they were added to the chip and glue mixture in certain proportions. Hazelnut husk mixture ratios were applied as 100 %; 0 %, 75 %; 25 %, 50 %; 50 %, 25 %; 75 %, 0 %; 100 % to black pine wood chip in the particle board mixture. These ratios were made in the same way for the astragalus plant. From these mixtures, chipboard blanks of 16 mm thickness and densities between 0,68 g/cm3 and 0,72 g/cm3 were produced. Density, moisture content, thickness increase, water intake, bending strength, modulus of elasticity in bending and tensile strength perpendicular to the surface were tested in physical and mechanical experiments. According to the results obtained, as the participation rate of hazelnut shells and astragalus increased, the durability properties of the panels decreased. At the same time, it shows that the technological properties of the panels produced by adding up to 25 % astragalus plant and hazelnut shells to the mixture comply with the standards.
