In the ever changing situation on the energy media market recently the growth in the interest in converting cheaper forms of wood has been noted. The sawmills being in possession of a certain amount of wood waste aim at its most efficient usage. The proposed formula facilitates the valuation of various kinds of wood assigned for burning. On the basis of the formula in question the choice of the structure of wood usage can be made both within a bigger plant as well as in economic macro scale.
The article presents the results of experiments aimed at the identification of the influence of the share of phenol and amine resins in burnt fuel mixtures from wood waste along the basic parameters of the process of their thermal oxidation in a low- -power boiler. Differences in the composition of combustion gases from the burning of waste from “virgin” wood and plywood manufactured using urea-formaldehyde (UF) and phenol-formaldehyde (PF) glues were observed.
