Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing fiber boards with reduced VOC emissions, in particular for producing HDF boards or MDF boards.
- a continuous production process of wood fibers using the dry and wet method, based on lignocellulosic material such as wood, straw or bagasse includes, among other things, a comminution of the raw material into free fibers or fiber aggregates, which in subsequent steps are coated with adhesive, dried, formed and formed into a End product, the so-called board or wood fiber board, are pressed.
- the fibers are preferably released from the raw material today in a so-called thermomechanical process in one step or in a thermal and mechanical process in at least two separate steps.
- the wood chips are usually washed to remove dirt such as soil or stones.
- the thermal treatment i.e. the heating of the raw material, takes place in a first thermal treatment device at a preferred temperature of up to about 100 degrees Celsius, in particular under atmospheric pressure, and then in a preferably pressurized second thermal treatment device at a temperature of, for example, about 150 to 190 degrees Celsius, in particular under a pressure of about 4 to 13 bar.
- the dwell time of the wood chips in the thermal treatment devices can be adjusted depending on the prevailing process conditions and can be between about 1 and 10 minutes, for example.
- the thermal heating in the second thermal treatment device is preferably carried out by means of steam.
- the mechanical processing then takes place in what is also known as a shredder refiners
- the residence time of the wood chip feedstock in the refiner is of short duration.
- the energy converted to mechanical energy associated with mechanical processing converts to heat in the reduction zone and appears in the processing system as off-gas, particularly steam, generated from moisture in the raw material.
- the wood fibers are usually transported pneumatically to a fiber dryer, where the drying process is carried out with a large volume of air and a controlled inlet air temperature of around 140 to 200 degrees Celsius, depending on the current fiber moisture content.
- the fibers are mechanically separated from the drying air.
- the dried fibers are then transported further for shaping, pre-pressing and finally final pressing of the board.
- the drying air is subjected to an exhaust gas scrubbing. Wet scrubbing, wet electrostatic precipitators or biofilters and biological wastewater treatment are used for this.
- the wood emissions released when the fibers are released and during drying, especially in the second thermal treatment device, are transported from the first thermal treatment device via the refiner together with the bulk fiber material to the dryer, where the majority of the fibers is separated and finally moist drying air from the dryer is discharged into the atmosphere after the exhaust gas scrubbing.
- These wood emissions mainly contain volatile organic substances, so-called volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
- the second thermal treatment device is equipped with an upper outlet for degassing the organic emissions released there.
- the steam is introduced in the lower part of the first thermal treatment device and the chips entering the upper part of the first thermal treatment device are washed in the counter-current steam during the condensation of the steam. This is accomplished by the steam moving up through the chip column to the cooler chips at the top of the first thermal processor.
- the released emissions, exhaust air and steam resulting from the evaporation of the moisture in the wood chips are separated and disposed of through the outlet in a dedicated device.
- the chips from the first thermal treatment device are transported into the refiner by means of a screw conveyor which compresses and dewaters the chips during transport.
- EP 2 573 258 A1 describes a method and a device for processing wood chips for the production of wood-containing fibrous material. With regard to the washing of the wood chips, it is stated that this is done with heating up to around 90°C with water heated up to 98°C.
- US Pat. No. 4,925,527 describes a process for obtaining turpentine from a TMP process (Thermal Mechanical Pulp) in which a gas stream is taken from a refiner and fed to a condenser.
- TMP process Thermal Mechanical Pulp
- a method for producing fiberboards with reduced VOC emissions having at least the following method steps: a) providing wood-containing chips; b) thermal treatment of the wood chips in a thermal treatment device or in a plurality of thermal treatment devices; c) comminution, in particular defibering, of the wood chips in a refiner; d) adding the comminuted, in particular defibrated, wood chips; and e) pressing the comminuted, in particular defibrated and glued, wood chips to form the fibreboard, f) steam used or produced in the process being removed from the process in a controlled manner at least one steam emission point, in particular continuously, with the steam being removed in a predetermined quantity range is such that a lower limit and an upper limit of the quantity range of the total steam separated off occurs as a function of at least one specification of the wood chips used in method step a).
- Such a method makes it possible in a particularly advantageous manner to efficiently reduce the environmentally harmful VOC emissions in the production of fiberboard.
- a resource-saving method is also possible here.
- VOC Volatile Organic Comounds
- VOCs Volatile Organic Comounds
- the ones in this Method described VOCs terpenes which occur as wood oil in the wood. Examples include the following substances, which can occur in the percentages by weight given in brackets based on the VOCs contained: a-pinene (20-70%), ß-pinene (5-20%), limonene (1-5% ), camphene (1-5%), phenol (0.2-2%).
- Other components may include myrcene, ⁇ -, ⁇ -phellandrene, 3-carene, cymene/cymene, terpinoic acid, ocimene.
- Fibreboards in the context of the present invention are to be understood, in a manner known per se, as meaning boards which have wood fibers in a matrix made of a binder.
- the fibreboards can comprise so-called medium-density fibreboards (MDF boards, density for example 700-800 kg/m 3 ) or low-density fibreboards (FDF, density for example ⁇ 650 kg/m 3 ).
- MDF boards medium-density fibreboards
- FDF low-density fibreboards
- HDF boards high-density fibreboards
- Such fibreboards are particularly suitable for interior house construction as underlay panels for roofs or external planking for walls.
- the boards are also used in a variety of ways in furniture construction. An application as floor, ceiling or wall coverings for the interior design of rooms is also suitable.
- wood-containing wood chips are provided.
- any wood can be provided in this step, which is coarsely chopped up so that it can be provided as wood chips.
- the wood used is not particularly limited, for example, wood selected from pine wood, spruce wood, spruce wood, birch wood, beech wood, dead oak wood, alder wood, etc. can be used, but is not limited thereto.
- the raw wood can be processed into wood chips, for example, by roughly chopping the wood used as the starting material and also debarking it and cleaning it from coarse impurities, ie freeing it from sand components or stones, for example.
- the size of the wood chips is not fundamentally limited, as is known in principle to a person skilled in the art from the production of fiberboard.
- the method comprises a thermal treatment of the wood chips in a thermal treatment device or in a plurality of thermal treatment devices.
- the wood chips can be treated with steam or hot water under pressure, for example in order to remove VOCs from the wood.
- the temperature in this process step can be at least partly in a range above 100°C.
- the thermal treatment or the thermal treatments can be used to further purify the wood chips.
- the wood chips are comminuted in a refiner.
- the previously coarsely chopped wood is further chopped up so that it assumes the shape that is suitable for the panels to be produced.
- This can be adjusted, for example, by adjusting the grinder or the energy introduced into the wood chips as a result and/or the duration of the treatment of the wood chips, as is known in principle to a person skilled in the art.
- the wood chips can be defibrated in this process step.
- the comminuted or defibrated wood chips obtained after process step c) are then glued according to process step d).
- Gluing is to be understood in particular as introducing the wood chips into a matrix of binders serving as glue.
- the binder or the glue can be, for example, a urea-formaldehyde resin, for example reinforced with melamine or phenol.
- the glue or the binder is preferably hardenable, for example with the application of heat, so that after hardening a stable structure is formed which can serve as a corresponding fiber board.
- the shredded and glued wood chips can then be pressed according to process step e) to form a fiber board, in particular using heat and/or electromagnetic radiation.
- process step e the specific parameters to be used in this process step depend on the materials to be pressed, in particular on the glue or binder used.
- vapor used or produced in the process is removed from the process in a controlled manner at at least one vapor emission point, with the vapor being removed in a predetermined quantity range such that a lower limit and an upper limit of the quantity range of the total separated steam takes place as a function of at least one specification of the wood chips used in process step a).
- the steam can preferably be separated off continuously.
- a continuous separation of the steam includes, for example, an uninterrupted separation or also a continuous periodic separation, that is to say comprehensively definable, periodically recurring pauses.
- the invention is based in particular on the fact that by separating steam from the process, VOCs can be separated from the production flow, since they accumulate in the steam. A corresponding steam separation therefore reduces the emission of VOCs, for example as exhaust gases or as vapors from the manufactured product, i.e. the fiberboard produced.
- the method described here also makes use of the fact that terpenes, the most important VOCs in this method, have a boiling point of over 150°C, but it was nevertheless found that even waste steam streams or general steam streams with temperatures below 100°C contain a considerable amount of volatile organic substances and in particular terpenes may contain. It is therefore advantageous in the method described here that the focus is on the total amount of steam separated off, regardless of its origin or the local separation point.
- the separation of steam streams can in principle be carried out according to methods from the prior art and it is advantageous that the steam is treated to collect the VOCs and is not immediately released into the environment together with the VOCs.
- the steam can be separated by means of overpressure or underpressure.
- the fiberboards produced can be further processed, in particular depending on their specific area of application.
- the fiberboards produced can be sanded, sawn into smaller boards, or further layers can be applied, for example in laminating processes.
- the fiber board can be supplied to the desired application in an advantageous manner.
- the at least one specification of the wood chips it should be mentioned that only one specification can serve as the basis for determining the amount of steam to be separated, or that a plurality of specifications can preferably serve as the basis for determining the amount of steam to be separated.
- one specification or a plurality of specifications can be selected from the following specifications.
- a specification can be the amount of chips used in the process.
- the amount of both the wood chips and the steam can be the absolute amount in a batch process, or the amount of both the wood chips and the steam can be the amount per unit time in a continuous process. It is understandable that regardless of the specific design and the components of the wood chips, the amount of wood chips has a significant influence on the VOCs brought into the process by the wood and thus equally on the VOCs to be discharged, so that the amount of wood chips when determining of the amount of vapor to be separated should preferably be considered.
- VOCs present in a given quantity of wood chips may depend on the specific wood species used.
- the quantity of vapor to be separated off can be reduced in a particularly reliable manner, since it is ensured that too little vapor is not produced as a result of fluctuations in the VOCs that occur during the separation of the vapor separated and thus an undesirably high content of VOCs exits.
- the amount of steam to be separated and possibly to be produced can nevertheless be reduced reliably and without the risk described above.
- the amount of VOCs contained in the wood chips used in process step a), in particular the terpenes contained, is determined by examining the wood chips used or is estimated on the basis of the type of wood chips used.
- Determining the amount of VOCs by examining the wood chips can enable the VOCs contained in the wood chips to be determined particularly precisely, so that the amount of steam to be separated off can also be determined very precisely.
- the VOC amount can be determined in a manner known per se by analyzing the components of the wood chips. This can be advantageous, for example, because the VOC content can simply be reduced through evaporation during storage, or fluctuations in the VOC content can also occur in the same type of wood.
- VOCs contained in the wood chips in particular the amount of terpenes contained, based on the type of wood chips used, i.e. in particular considering the type of wood the wood chips are made of, can allow the VOC amount to be determined particularly easily, with the effort being very high can be kept low.
- This configuration can be based in particular on the fact that different types of wood, for example birch or spruce, often have different amounts of VOCs such as terpenes, for example, but the amount of VOCs and in particular the amount of terpenes is characteristic of the type of wood.
- the VOC quantity can be estimated in advance without having to carry out an analysis.
- the amount of vapor separated can be determined with a definable safety factor, i.e. a definably larger amount of vapor can be separated than is necessary according to the data used for the terpene quantity.
- a definable safety factor i.e. a definably larger amount of vapor can be separated than is necessary according to the data used for the terpene quantity.
- This also allows a particularly safe and reliable reduction in the amount of VOCs discharged from the process. It has been found that it is already sufficient if the total amount of steam separated off in process step f) is in an amount range of 0.5 to 100 times the mass, preferably 0.5 to 50 times the mass, particularly preferably 0.5 to 10 times the mass based on the amount of terpene in the wood chips provided.
- the dry mass of the wood chips provided can also be a good indicator for determining the amount of steam to be separated. It can be advantageous if the total amount of vapor separated off in process step f) is in an amount range from 0.001 to 0.2 times the mass, preferably from 0.001 to 0.1 times the mass, particularly preferably from 0.001 to 0.02 times the mass based on the dry mass of the wood chips provided.
- the amount of vapor to be separated is well below the amount separated in prior art solutions, e.g s to smuggle and thus to significantly reduce the VOC emissions in the process described here for the production of fiberboard. It has thus been shown that, for example, even if the method described here or the amount of steam separated in the method is based on the dry matter of the wood chips provided, a surprisingly small amount of steam can be separated which is sufficient to achieve the object of the invention.
- the dry mass of the wood or the wood chips refers in particular to absolutely dry wood (atro), as is usual in wood processing.
- the dry matter of wood used can in turn be determined analytically or estimated from known data for the type of wood used. Above that is the crowd again easily determinable in continuous or batch processes, as a quantity per unit of time or as an absolute quantity, as described above.
- the vapor emission point positioned upstream of the refiner comprises a thermal treatment device or is positioned between the refiner and a thermal treatment device such as a digester. It has been shown that particularly at these positions, VOCs such as terpenes in particular can be effectively removed from the process by vapor separation, so that the method can be carried out particularly effectively in this configuration.
- the steam emission point is a steam treatment device in front of a wood chip digester or the wood chip digester itself or is located between the steam treatment device and the digester. It has also been shown at these emission points that VOCs and in particular terpenes can be effectively removed from the process flow.
- a steam separation upstream of a position can be a position on the main stock flow of the wood chips or a steam recirculation, which runs in the opposite direction to the main stock flow but is still adjacent to the corresponding position due to the position of the main material flow or due to the course of the vapor recirculation is to be described as upstream.
- vapor recycle from the refiner to a thermal processor is considered to be upstream of the refiner.
- the vapor emission point positioned downstream of the refiner can be a vapor separator positioned downstream of the refiner.
- a vapor separator is to be understood as meaning a device of this type in which vapor is to be removed from the process.
- this configuration can also be implemented without a large amount of equipment.
- At least one vapor emission point is generated from a liquid flow.
- vapor can thus escape from a correspondingly hot liquid stream, which is then separated, or a cooler liquid stream, from which no vapor emerges, can be heated until vapor emerges in order to separate the vapor streams thus produced.
- account can be taken of the fact that VOCs or terpenes, which have escaped from the wood, do not only accumulate in the vapor but are also found at least in small amounts in liquid streams. Emission of vapor from these liquid streams can then also effectively remove such proportions of VOCs from the process, which can make the reduction of VOCs as a whole more effective.
- liquid streams in which VOCs have been found include, for example, a squirt stream directly from a stuffing screw or a liquid stream resulting from a squirt stream from a stuffing screw. It can also be advantageous to collect the VOC-containing vapor removed in accordance with process step g) and optionally to further treat one or more components. In this embodiment, the method can not only be used to reduce VOC emissions, but the method can be carried out significantly more economically due to the possibility of collecting separated vapor streams and optionally treating them further. Because the materials contained in the steam flow or other properties of the steam flow, such as its heat, can be used in the method or other methods, so that costs and resources can be saved.
- hydrolate is generally understood to be the aqueous phase obtained after condensation of the vapor, which can contain correspondingly water-soluble components, such as formaldehyde, for example.
- the separated vapor or one or more components can also be advantageous for the separated vapor or one or more components to be further treated by incineration or exposure to high temperatures, adsorption, absorption, membrane technology methods, condensation, crystallization or other suitable process engineering methods.
- the heat of a material flow occurring in the process is used further in the process to generate energy.
- the energy inherent in the material flow can thus be reused in the form of heat, in particular to heat other material flows.
- This step can also improve economic aspects of the method according to the invention and thus save costs and resources.
- a simple way of further treating the vapor containing VOCs removed in process step g) or a part thereof consists in the thermal treatment of this, for example by introducing the vapor into an incineration plant.
- the VOC-containing steam can be introduced into the system for process heat recovery.
- wood chips are provided. These are formed from a fundamentally selectable wood and are provided by roughly reducing the size of the wood and, in particular, by rough washing.

- the second thermal treatment step 40 of the wood chips takes place in the second thermal treatment device, also called pre-steam tank, which is designed, for example, to receive and expel exhaust gases containing VOC, in particular back into the first thermal treatment device.
- the second thermal treatment takes place, for example, without pressure at a temperature above room temperature, in particular at a temperature less than or equal to the boiling point of water, ie less than or equal to 100°C. An increased temperature allows for better release of VOCs from the wood chips.
- the exhaust gases containing VOC are discharged in particular from the second thermal treatment device and/or passed on to the first thermal treatment device. Furthermore, VOC-containing exhaust gases from a device used subsequently for carrying out the Process are fed into the second thermal treatment device to further heat the wood chips or to release VOCs.

- the shredded wood chips or the wood fibers obtained in this way are passed through a so-called blowline and a drying step 70 takes place in a dryer to dry the wood fibers coming from the refiner. This can in turn take place at elevated temperatures, in which case the resulting moist atmosphere can be removed from the wood fibers by a separation step 80 .
