木材工廠生產的木材餘料是可以再回收利用的,例如將餘料切割成小塊作為燃料,或者用於製造紙張、木質板等產品。木材餘料也可以用於堆肥處理或製成生質顆粒,通過高溫焚燒將木材轉化為灰燼和熱能。而今資源短缺的情況下,為落實循環經濟,農林副資材的回收再利用相當重要。將農林副資材以餘料型態作分類可分為粉狀、片狀、枝條狀及塊狀。本研究以塊狀餘料作為試驗材料,若將試驗材料再製成木質板或生質顆粒則其步驟複雜或時程較久,所以期以單純、步驟少而時程可以接受的回收製成,而其中直接熱壓縮成板料便是一種簡易的物理方法。 本研究是以中菱綠建材有限公司工廠的臺灣杉邊皮材餘料,形體橫斷面為不規則弓形,長度約240mm的柱體邊皮材,研究方向以最簡單的物理方法高溫壓縮去改質。加熱使木材軟化,具熱可塑性,再加以壓縮成熱壓縮材。本研究室以熱壓縮臺灣杉邊皮材,考慮邊皮材餘料的每一個試材的物理條件都不相同,所以將目標定在製成可用的板材,並將其運用於積木教育。
The wood residues produced by the timber factory can be recycled and reused. For example, the residues can be cut into small pieces and used as fuel or utilized in the production of paper, wooden boards, and other products. Wood residues can also be composted or transformed into biomass pellets, converting the wood into ash and thermal energy through high-temperature incineration. Given the current scarcity of resources and the need to implement a circular economy, the recycling and reuse of agricultural and forestry by-products are particularly crucial. Agricultural and forestry by-products can be categorized as powdery, flaky, twig-shaped, and block-shaped residues. In this study, block-shaped residues are used as the experimental material. If these experimental materials were to be further processed into wooden boards or biomass pellets, the steps involved might be complex and time-consuming. Therefore, a simple and efficient recycling method, such as direct hot pressing to form boards, is proposed. The wood residues produced by the CHUNLYN factory can be recycled and reused.
