The relative ion transport capacity of wood, i.e., the Effective Capillary Cross Sectional Area (ECCSA), is determined in this work based on the analogy with the relation between the electrical conductivities of wood and ...

The effects of three different fungal treatments on several technology characteristics of Eucalyptus grandiswood, were studied on industrial chips and blocks. The percentage of the substrate mass loss by the fungal treatment, ...

Wood impregnation is crucial in any pulping process. The impregnation of chips of eucalyptus wood by a liquor of constant alkali concentration is here analyzed. A mass balance that considers kinetics of the main reactions ...
