Advanced separation and anaerobic digestion technologies for value-added bioproducts and biofuel from pulp and paper mill wastes
(2022)In the first research project, the extraction of hemicellulose from the process water and synthetic hydrolyzate using liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) was examined. Specifically, the effects of the main experimental variables ... -
Comparative analysis of the properties of tamarack (Larix laricina (Du Roi) K. Koch) particleboard and thermally treated oriented strand board (OSB)
(2014)Engineered wood products (EWPs), for example, particleboard and oriented strand board (OSB), are normally made from wood residuals or small particles of underutilized wood species for replacing solid sawn products as its ... -
Comparative analysis of wood pellet parameters: Canadian case study
(2014-01-22)Canada is one of the world leaders in wood pellet production and export, however, domestic consumption is extremely low. In addition there is no national standard in Canada for wood pellets. The Canadian government announced ... -
Fuel characteristics of Northwestern Ontario tree species and their components
(2010)The use of forestry residues or any biomass in the production of energy has been a topic of great discussion due to the increasing pressure to establish environmentally friendly energy production. With the current energy ... -
Is wood characteristics mapping an opportunity to optimize the value chain in Northwestern Ontario? a case study considering eastern larch (Larix laricina (Du Roi) K. Koch) grown in the Thunder Bay District
(2010)Wood characteristic mapping was considered as a means for optimizing the value chain of northwestern Ontario tree species. A literature review was completed which investigated the relationship of wood morphology to wood ... -
Lignocellulosic materials in hydrolysis and spent liquors
(2018)Biomass pretreatment is widely used for softening biomass prior to its disintegration for value added product production. There are numerous methods for biomass pre-treatment, among which alkaline pulping and acid hydrolysis ... -
Modelling the radial and longitudinal variation in wood density and its sensitivity to climate in black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.)
(2014-01-22)Wood density variation affects structural timber performance and is correlated with different sources (genetic diversity, stand dynamics and climatic effects) which, to date, have not been comprehensively quantified in ... -
Physical and mechanical property variation of black ash (Fraxinus Nigra M.) grown in the Thunder Bay seed zone
(2014-01-22)The identification of traditionally underutilized species with the potential for development and increased marketing potential has been recognized as a source of potential innovation in the Northwestern Ontario forest ... -
Stand density management implications on the woody quality of yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis Britton) in the Sault Ste. Marie MNR District of Ontario
(2014)Creating quality tolerant hardwood stands through intensive silviculture and mapping their properties is considered a means for optimizing the value chain in Northeastern Ontario. A comprehensive literature review was ... -
Supply chain management of advanced wood pellets: storage and real time field characterization
(2017)Canada announced plans to phase-out coal-fired electricity generation by 2030. Therefore, in 2014, the province of Ontario has phased out the use of coal in the production of electricity. Former coal powered generating ...
