Production of Composite Materials from Peat and Wood by Explosive Autohydrolysis

Аннотация

Technology for obtaining peat and peat-wood composite materials by the explosive autohydrolysis method without using synthetic binders was developed. The optimal conditions of an explosive autohydrolysis of peat and peat in the presence of wood were found: pressure 1.62 MPa, temperature 210°C, treatment duration of 10 min in an explosive autohydrolysis reactor. Peat and peat-wood composite materials were obtained. In their strength characteristics (bending strength up to 14.68 MPa) and heat conductivity these materials compare well with the conventional heat-insulating materials and can be used as construction materials.
