Abstract:

To explore the effects of 6 factors (bio-oil replacement ratio, molar ratio of formaldehyde and phenol (nF/nP), hot press temperature, pressure and time, and amount of adhesives) of the resin preparation and hot press processes on the content of formaldehyde and total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) in the bio-oil phenol formaldehyde plywood (BPFP) panels, an L25 (56) orthogonal experiment design was executed. Head space solid-phase micro-extractions (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was employed to detect the content of free formaldehyde and TVOC in the BPFP panels. The results showed that under the conditions of the bio-oil replacement ratio of 60%, nF/nP of 1.6, hot press temperature of 190 ℃, hot press duration of 4 min, hot press pressure of 1.2 MPa, and amount of adhesives applied of 200 g/cm2, formaldehyde emissions was the lowest. Hot press temperature and pressure had a significant effect on the formaldehyde content, whereas the replacement ratio of fast pyrolysis bio-oil to phenol and the amount of wood adhesives applied had a minor effect. Under the conditions of bio-oil replacement ratio of 60%, nF/nP of 2.2, hot press temperature of 190 ℃, hot press duration of 5.5 min, hot press pressure of 1.4 MPa, and amount of adhesives applied of 210 g/cm2, the content of TVOC in the plywood was the lowest.

Key words: bio-oil phenolic resin, formaldehyde, total volatile organic compound, solid-phase micro-extraction, safety
