Fiberboard and Particleboard Production Using Agricultural Waste

Öz

Today, wood based composites are among the most important forest products. Due to the increase in demand and

improvement in manufacturing technologies, some possible alternative raw materials to wood have been

investigated. Basically, alternative raw materials can be divided in two groups; namely, natural fiber resources

and agricultural wastes. Uses of agricultural wastes in composite manufacturing have been widely investigated in

worldwide. Agricultural chips and fibers were mixed with wood chips and wood fiber in manufacturing of

particleboard and fiberboard in different densities and thicknesses. Several adhesives in different ratios were

applied in experimental board manufacturing. Boards were manufactured under different temperature and

pressure regimes. Results indicate that boards manufactured by using agricultural waste can be alternative to

boards manufactured by using wood source.

Tarımsal Atıklardan Lif ve Yonga Levha Üretimi

Öz

Günümüzde ahşap esaslı kompozitler en önemli orman ürünleri arasında bulunmaktadır. Bu ürünlere olan talebin

artması ve üretim teknolojisinin ilerlemesinin sonucu olarak hammadde olan oduna alternatif olarak bazı

hammadde kaynakları araştırılmıştır. Oduna alternatif lignoselülozik hammaddeler temelde ikiye ayrılmaktadır.

Bunlar, doğal lif kaynakları ve tarımsal atıklardır. Tarımsal atıklardan kompozit malzeme üretimine ilişkin

Dünyada ve Ülkemizde bazı çalışmalar yapılmış ve bazı çalışmalarda devam etmektedir. Yapılan araştırmalarda

tarımsal atıklardan elde edilen yonga veya lifler tek başlarına ya da bazı odun yonga ve lifleri ile belirli oranlarda

karıştırılarak çeşitli yoğunluklarda ve farklı kalınlıklarda paneller üretilmiştir. Yonga veya liflerin

yapıştırılmasında farklı oranlarda çeşitli tutkallar kullanılmıştır. Levhalar farklı pres sıcaklıklarında üretilmiştir.

Sonuç olarak, tarımsal atık esaslı yongalardan ve liflerden üretilen bazı panellerin odun yongalarından ve

liflerinden üretilen panel malzemelere alternatif olabileceği görülmüştür.
