Reuse of waste oils in the treatment of wood aggregates

摘要

In this work, oil intended for disposal is used to impregnate wood shavings at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Experimental results show a sizable decrease in the absorption of water by these wood shavings and the generation of a wood cement-mineral fines composite from industrial waste. The composite's dimensional variations can be reduced by half without any of the mechanical properties or thermal conductivity being adversely affected. An oil intended for disposal is more efficient than linseed oil in reducing the extreme dimensional variations.
