Structure of tree bark and possibility of utilization

Abstract

In this study, differences between softwood and hardwood have been presented regard to chemical and anatomical properties of the tree bark. Bark that is usually considered as a source of fuel and energy raw material in Turkey has largely chemical using area since it contains polyphenolic substances and more extractive compounds compare to wood. In the study bark using areas have been exhibited such as cork, water purifier, concrete reinforcer, sound and heat insulator. In the use of planting design was examined as mulch due to the structure of cork with a well water-holding capacity. Besides, advantages and disadvantages of as using compost have been evaluated thus the importance of species as using compost was emphasized. Keywords: Bark, Chemical composition, Mulch, Compost

Ağaç kabuğunun yapısı ve yararlanma imkanları

Abstract

Bu çalışmada ağaç kabuğunun kimyasal ve anatomik özelliklerine değinilerek iğne yapraklı ve yapraklı ağaç kabukları arasındaki farklılıklar ortaya konulmuştur. Ülkemizde genellikle yakacak hammaddesi ve enerji kaynağı olarak değerlendirilen kabuk, içerdiği polifenolik bileşikler ve oduna oranla daha fazla olan ekstraktif maddelerle oldukça geniş bir kimyasal kullanım alanına sahiptir. Çalışma kapsamında kabuğun, şişe mantarı, su arıtıcı ve beton güçlendirici olarak, ses izolasyonu ve ısı yalıtımı amacıyla kullanıldığı ortaya koyulmuştur. İçeriğindeki mantar yapısıyla oldukça iyi su tutma kapasitesine sahip olmasından dolayı malç malzemesi olarak bitkilendirme tasarımında kullanımı irdelenmiştir. Ayrıca, kompost olarak kullanımının avantajları ve dezavantajları değerlendirilerek tür seçiminin önemi vurgulanmıştır. Anahtar kelimeler: Kabuk, Kimyasal yapı, Malç, Kompost
