Optimization of the Hot-Pressing Regime in the Production of Eco-Friendly Fibreboards Bonded with Hydrolysis Lignin

This research was aimed at studying the potential of using residual lignin from acid hydrolysis as a binder in manufacturing eco-friendly, dry-process fibreboards. For that purpose, modification adhesive system and hot-pressing regime conducted. The applied composed 2 % phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin 10 (based on dry fibres). PF does not only act but generally contributes to even distribution good retention main – lignin. A specific cycle used. In first stage, pressure 1.0 MPa, followed by an increased 4.0 subsequent cooling. purpose initial lower softening reduction material moisture content. effect second stage properties eco-friendly fibreboards investigated. It determined produced with have similar physical mechanical those control panels, standard cycle. findings this work demonstrate can be effectively utilized production acceptable properties.
