  • Coco Lumber Sawdust
    MushroomPart II. Oyster Growers Mushrooms’ Handbook 1 Chapter 5. Substrate 91 Oyster Mushroom Cultivation Part II. Oyster Mushrooms Chapter 5 Substrate COCO LUMBER SAWDUST J. Christopher D. Custodio Bataan State College, the Philippines Oyster Mushrooms (Pleurotus spp.) are saprophytic as they obtain there nutrients by decomposing various agricultural by-products. This mushroom has been cultivated worldwide because of its taste and low maintenance technology. There are different substrates that have already been identified that can be utilized for the cultivation of oyster mushroom. The possible substrates include rice straw, coffee pulps, sawdust, and even paper. Most of these are types of low-value lignocellulosic wastes that are primarily derived from agricultural practices or the agro-industry. (J.A. Buswell et. al., 1996) The bioconversion of these wastes is one reason why the cultivation of edible mushrooms is an appropriate practice for a society that depends on its agriculture. In the early 1990s, ‘coco lumber’ was given a great attention in the province as a substitute for hardwood. Sawmills producing lumber from coconut trees bloomed in reaction to the increasing demand for this low cost constructional material. Though beginners in mushroom cultivation are usually persuaded not to use sawdust from softwoods, sawdust from coco lumber (Fig. 1) is another possible substrate for P. ostreatus and has shown great results. Growers living near a coco lumber sawmill can make use of this waste product in order to start their own cultivation of oyster mushroom species. Figure 1. Coco lumber sawdust Coco Lumber Sawdust as a Substrate of Oyster Mushroom Oyster mushroom is one example of edible mushrooms that can utilize lignocellulosic materials as a substrate.

  • Environmental Considerations of Treated Wood National Park Service – Pacific West Region
    Environmental Considerations of Treated Wood National Park Service – Pacific West Region Overview In support of the mission of the National Park Service, making wise decisions about using wood treatments will help protect the natural areas and biodiversity of our parks, and the health of our employees. Preservative-treated wood’s most important benefit is its resistance to water, fungal, and insect damage. Extending the life of wood products reduces the demands on forests for replacement lumber and reduces maintenance and replacement costs. Historic wooden structures that must be repaired with compatible materials or replaced with in-kind materials make durability even more important. Treated woods are nearly impervious to rot and insects, making them good for outdoor use. Wood treated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA) poses certain environmental and health risks, including the leaching of chemicals such as arsenic and chromium into the environment and workers’ risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals. Disposal of treated wood also proves to be an issue, particularly disposal by incineration. Due to these concerns, manufacturers of treated wood and the EPA reached an agreement to end the sale of CCA-treated wood for most lumber products, effective January 1, 2004. The following offers less-toxic alternatives to CCA, handling and use precautions, and other recommendations when considering using treated wood. Due to the toxicity and potential effects on health and the environment, the Presidio Trust implemented a policy on the use of pressure treated lumber. Standard operating procedure now prohibits the use of CCA, ACZA, CZC, ACC, and Pentachlorophenol. All dimensional lumber is now treated with ACQ as an alternative.

How- http://osufacts.okstate.edu ever, when a wood product is used in contact with the ground or exposed to high moisture conditions it may be subjected to biological and insecticidal deterioration. As a result of termite or fungi attack, wood from most species can be destroyed within five to eight years. To extend the service life of wood to 20-25 years in moist environmental conditions, it is important to use pressure treatment methods. The objective of this fact sheet is to summarize the most commonly used pressure treatment methods, the basic principles, and some of the chemicals used for such processes. Preparing Wood for Pressure Treatment The purpose of wood pressure treatment is to force preservative chemicals deep into the cellular structure of the wood. The chemical acts as a barrier between the wood and biological deterioration agents, so that the service life of Figure 2.

  • Mechanical Properties of Laminated Veneer Lumber Beams Strengthened with Cfrp Sheets
    MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF LAMINATED VENEER LUMBER BEAMS STRENGTHENED WITH CFRP SHEETS M. BAKALARZ1, P. G. KOSSAKOWSKI2 This paper presents the results of the static work analysis of laminated veneer lumber (LVL) beams strengthened with carbon fabric sheets (CFRP). Tested specimens were 45mm wide, 100 mm high, and 1700 mm long. Two types of strengthening arrangements were assumed as follows: 1. One layer of sheet bonded to the bottom face; 2. U-shape half-wrapped reinforcement; both sides wrapped to half of the height of the cross-section. The reinforcement ratios were 0.22% and 0.72%, respectively. In both cases, the FRP reinforcement was bonded along the entire span of the element by means of epoxy resin. The reinforcement of the elements resulted in an increase in the bending strength by 30% and 35%, respectively, as well as an increase in the global modulus of elasticity in bending greater than 20% for both configurations (in comparison to the reference elements). Keywords: carbon fibres, LVL, strengthening, timber structures, 1. INTRODUCTION The basic treatments aimed at rehabilitating or strengthening existing [3, 4] and new structural elements include the change of the static scheme, the addition of a cooperating structure, and the introduction of additional materials. Steel and composite materials are most often used as an additional material. With regard to wooden structures, composite materials are used both as: 1 MSc., Eng., Kielce University of Technology, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Al.
