Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi) boxed-heart timbers with the dimension of 100 X 100 X 1,000 mm were dried after being steamed at 100[degrees]C and 0[degrees]C wet-bulb depression for 5 hours, and then dried at 120[degrees]C and 30[degrees]C wet-bulb depression for 8, 12, and 16 hours, respectively. The radial permeability of the surface layers of the timbers during drying was measured to discover the moisture movement mechanism in the transverse direction. The radial permeability in the surface layers of pretreated timbers decreased and tended to decrease as pretreating time increased. The decreased permeability can be attributed to the reduced distance between microfibrils inside the surface layers of pretreated timbers attributable to the pretreatment. This reduced distance decreases the moving rates of the bound water and water vapor from the inner part to surface layers of pretreated timbers during drying. Therefore, the average drying rate of pretreated timbers was decreased., High temperature and low humidity (HT--LH) treatment has been usually implemented prior to commercial kiln-drying of coniferous boxed-heart timbers in structural applications over 1 decade in Korea and 2 decades [...]

Sticker stain is a material defect that results from moisture migration during wood drying, often spoiling the appearance of the surface of wood products. The effect of drying temperatures on the occurrence of surface sticker stain was investigated using Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) and three types of stickers (air-dried Japanese cedar, aluminum, and stainless steel) under four drying temperatures (20[degrees]C, 50[degrees]C, 75[degrees]C, and 100[degrees]C). At lower drying temperatures, the air-dried wood sticker tended to suppress the occurrence of surface sticker stains, whereas higher temperature or metal stickers produced sticker stains with deep color. However, no definitive relation was shown between the initial moisture content and the extent of sticker stain with deep color regardless of drying temperatures. It was considered that the partial delay of drying happened around the contact area with stickers, especially in cases of metal stickers. It was also found that the use of metal stickers at higher drying temperatures induced depressions in Fourier transform infrared spectra related to the occurrence of hygrothermal conditions., An the wood industry, drying is one of the essential processes in using wood resources as woody materials, structural materials, and so on. This process often accompanies some material defect [...]

Planning and scheduling wood lumber drying operations is a very difficult problem. The literature proposes different methods aiming to minimize order lateness. They all make use of pre-established kiln loading patterns that are known to offer good physical stability in the kiln and allow full kiln space utilization. Instead, we propose a mixed integer programming (MIP) model, which can be used to generate loading patterns 'on the fly.' This MIP model can be integrated into existing kiln drying operation planning/scheduling systems in order to improve their solutions. We show how this integration can be done by adapting a state of the art drying operations planning and scheduling methodology from the literature. We compare the solutions obtained by this system using the predefined loading patterns versus the solutions it generates if it is connected to our loading patterns generator MIP model. The study shows it is much better to dynamically create loading patterns than to use predefined ones, as most North American sawmills do., J. he problem of planning and scheduling softwood lumber drying operations is very complex. Drying is carried out in batches, each one containing only compatible products that can be dried [...]

The drying characteristics of urea formaldehyde (UF) resin--impregnated Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook.) wood were determined by the 100[degrees]C-test method and scanning electron and fluorescence microscopies to predict an optimal drying schedule. Compared with the untreated sample, the UF resin--impregnated Chinese fir wood presented a lower grade of initial checks and a faster initial drying velocity, but a higher grade of internal checks and a slower drying velocity at the later stage. The average drying velocity of the UF resin--impregnated wood was 38.9 percent lower than that of the untreated sample. The predicted drying schedule was applied to the UF resin--impregnated wood and the resulting grades of the drying characteristics were in good agreement with the required national standard values. The resulting dried UF resin-modified composite would become a potential candidate for a shallow depth rock mining supportive system with its stable mechanical performance., Wood resource availability in China is limited, whereas Chinese wood consumption continues to rise. Since the 1980s, main wood supply countries such as Australia and South Africa began to implement [...]
