Manufacture of Strand Board Bonded with Disposal Expanded Polystyrene as Binder

Use of Lignin Separated from Bio-oil in Oriented Strand Board Binder Phenol-formaldehyde Resins

Bio-oil produced from fast pyrolysis of biomass has been investigated as a renewable fuel and as a source of industrial chemicals. The lignin fraction of bio-oil produced from wood in our fast pyrolysis reactor was separated by using only water and methanol with a 25% yield based on bio-oil weight. This separation procedure appears to be of lower cost than the reported extraction procedure usin...

06 Field efficacy of expanded polystyrene fc.indd

Concerns about traditional chemical pesticides has led to increasing research into novel mosquito control methods. This study compared the effectiveness of 2 different types of polystyrene beads for control of mosquito larvae in south-east Islamic Republic of Iran. Simulated field trials were done in artificial pools and field trials were carried out in 2 villages in an indigenous malaria area ...

Recycling of Expanded Polystyrene Using Natural Solvents

Optimal Design and Manufacture of Thin-Walled Polystyrene Structures

In this study, we investigated the implementation of an automatic procedure for optimizing thermoformed thinwalled structures. Such objects are created in great numbers, especially in the food packaging industry. The methodology for the optimal design of such structures is based on the use of a parameterized geometry model created within an interactive design environment. By varying the paramet...

Implication of expanded polystyrene and shredded waste polystyrene to control Anopheles spp, Bandar Abbas and Chabahar, Iran

Introduction: Due to insecticide resistance, environmental pollution and difficulty in biological control, usage of conventional larval control measures are not applicable in mosquito breeding places. As part of Integrated Vector Management program, we aimed to asses the effectiveness of two polystyrene beads types for Anopheles spp larvae control under laboratory, semi-field and field cond...
