In support of legislation aimed at reducing the amount of material going into landfill, which includes waste generated by
both industry and the general public, the government has invested time and money to encourage the reuse and/or
recycling of secondary or waste products. Much of the investment made through the Wood programme of WRAP has
been targeted at finding uses for recycled wood in finished products and in raising the standards and quality of wood
recycling operations and the resulting recycled wood products.
Standards and specifications for the manufacture of products are being developed as more recycled material becomes
incorporated into end use products. The standards and specifications already developed for a number of finished
products include limits on the presence of chemical contaminants (inorganic constituents), particularly heavy metals
originating from wood preservative treatments as these are likely to be encountered in waste wood collected.
The RUF briquetting press earns the Ortinger company additional profits
During the production of round bars or rods for flags, skewers and many more products made from wooden planks, lots of wood chips are accumulated. Instead of disposing of them as waste, the wood processor Ortinger presses them into briquettes, which they then sell as fuel. This way they can economically support themselves in another way and their RUF briquetting press has started to pay itself off from the first day on.
The wood processor...
Electrostatic precipitation has been a reliable technology since the early 1900`s. Originally developed to abate serious smoke nuisances, the manufacturers of zinc, copper, and lead quickly found electric gas cleaning a cost efficient way to recover valuable product carried out of the stacks from furnace operations. Today electrostatic precipitators are found mainly on large power plants, cement plants, incinerators, and various boiler application.
The other day I found an interesting article from Scientists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, USA. The artical discusses how the two recently managed to synthesize two complex chemical substances from wood-based starting materials. You can find the link here: Wood instead of petroleum.
The basic chemistry is nothing new. In fact using wood as a feed stock has been around for over 200 years. The first wood gasifier was thought to be build around...
