  1. 1. Exploring the sustainability potential of an algae-based wood adhesive : Comparative and explorative environmental life cycle assessment of algae- vs. formaldehyde- based adhesives for particleboard production

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Charlotte Rasche; [2020]
    Keywords : life cycle assessment; particleboard; bio-adhesive; wood-adhesive; bio-resin; algae; macroalgae; seaweed; kelp; formaldehyde; greener production; environmental impacts; biobased; design for the environment;

    Abstract : Adhesives used for wood composites such as particleboard are conventionally of petrochemical nature with formaldehyde as a base substance and represent a pain point in the industry due their toxic emissions. Consequently, adhesives are subject to an agenda to develop more benign, low-impact alternatives. READ MORE

  3. 2. Study of a valorisation process for biomass industrial waste involving acid cooking and enzymatic hydrolysis

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Nicolas Brunet; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Lignocellulosic biomass has potential to chip in the chemical and biofuels supplies in future societies,even though lignocellulose is a recalcitrant structure that has to be treated in several steps. After theirproper life cycle, wood-derived materials such as particleboards have few outcomes today apart fromenergy recovery for heat production. READ MORE

  5. 4. Synthetic Functionalization of Colloidal Lignin Particles for Wood Adhesive Applications

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Fusi Alexander Deen; [2020]
    Keywords : Lignin; Colloidal Lignin Particles; Glyoxal; CLPs; adhesive; Lignin; kolloidala ligninpartiklar; glyoxal; CLP; lim;

    Abstract : Functionalizable spherical colloidal lignin particles (CLPs) represent a valuable asset for the valorization of lignin side-streams from the pulp industry. The spherical structure allows for the circumvention of the heterogeneous and poorly dispersible structure of the biopolymer. READ MORE

  6. 5. Enhancement of Phenol Formaldehyde Adhesive with Crystalline Nano Cellulose

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för skog och träteknik (SOT)

    Author : Johan Ekstrand; [2019]
    Keywords : Nano Cellulose; Fibrillated cellulose; Wood Adhesive; Shear strength; Adhesive Enhancement; Formaldehyde adhesive; Phenol Formaldehyde;

    Abstract : Abstract The wood industries to this day use almost exclusively petroleum derived adhesives that are based mainly on the reaction of formaldehyde with urea, melamine or phenol. These adhesives have low cost and good adjustable properties which makes it hard for bio-based alternatives to compete. READ MORE
