Abstract:

Wood chips of Ⅰ-72 Poplar were treated with a high pressure steam and pressed into particleboard respectably through the conversion of chemical components.The results are as follows:1.In the intense steam explosion conditions, the cellulose of the chips was degraded remarkably and the explosion yield was lower, and the content of lignin and hot-water extract increased at first and then decreased with a steam pressure increased while the content of free sugar increased; 2.By scanning electronic microscopy fibers of the explosion woods were observed to be roughed and broken; 3. The crystallinity Was found to be increased by steam explosion; 4.Through steam explosion the wood chips could be pressed into particleboard with good water—proof.

Key words: Steaming explosion, Cellulose degradation, Pressing particleboard
