Application of prehidrolysed wood chips: Furfural and fiberboard production

The basic aim of this book is to confirm the technical possibility of utilization of prehydrolyzed beech for the production of fibers possessing specific properties which can serve for the production of hardboards and the quantitative determination of furfural and organic acids. It was demostrated that the best results, given for the test hardboards, in the mechanical and physical properties tested, were obtained with fibers subjected to 50 minute prehydrolysis time.
