Accessibility of hydroxyl groups in furfurylated wood at different weight percent gains and during Rhodonia placenta decay
Beck, Greeley; Hill, Callum Aidan Stephen; Cocher, Pierre Martin; Alfredsen, Gry (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019) -
Cell wall changes during brown rot degradation of furfurylated and acetylated wood
Thygesen, Lisbeth G.; Beck, Greeley; Nagy, Nina Elisabeth; Alfredsen, Gry (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05-30)This study explores cell wall changes in Radiata pine (Pinus radiata) after modification with acetylation or furfurylation and subsequent prolonged subjection to the brown rot fungus R. placenta with the aim of better ... -
CNash - A novel parameter predicting cake solids of dewatered digestates
Svennevik, Oda Marie Kjørlaug; Beck, Greeley; Rus, Ester; Westereng, Bjørge; Higgins, Matthew; Solheim, Odd Egil; Nilsen, Pål Jahre; Horn, Svein Jarle (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-23)Efficient digestate dewatering is crucial to reduce the volume and transportation cost of solid residues from anaerobic digestion (AD) plants. Large variations in dewatered cake solids have been reported and predictive ... -
Effects of post anaerobic digestion thermal hydrolysis on dewaterability and moisture distribution in digestates
Svennevik, Oda K; Solheim, Odd Egil; Beck, Greeley; Sørland, Geir; Jonassen, Kjell Rune; Rus, Ester; Westereng, Bjørge; Horn, Svein Jarle; Higgins, Matthew J; Nilsen, Pål Jahre (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Organic waste fractions such as sewage sludge, food waste and manure can be stabilized by anaerobic digestion (AD) to produce renewable energy in the form of biogas. Following AD, the digested solid fraction (digestate) ... -
How much water can wood cell walls hold? A triangulation approach to determine the maximum cell wall moisture content
Thybring, Emil Engelund; Digaitis, Ramūnas; Nord-Larsen, Thomas; Beck, Greeley; Fredriksson, Maria (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-08-31)Wood is a porous, hygroscopic material with engineering properties that depend significantly on the amount of water (moisture) in the material. Water in wood can be present in both cell walls and the porous void-structure ... -
Leachability and Decay Resistance of Wood Polyesterified with Sorbitol and Citric Acid
Beck, Greeley (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-06-06)Research Highlights: Polyesterification of wood with sorbitol and citric acid (SCA) increases decay resistance against brown-rot and white-rot fungi without reducing cell wall moisture content but the SCA polymer is susceptible ... -
Water sorption in wood cell walls–data exploration of the infuential physicochemical characteristics
Fredriksson, Maria; Rüggeberg, Markus; Nord-Larsen, Thomas; Beck, Greeley; Thybring, Emil Engelund (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-12-07)The material properties of wood are intimately tied to the amount of moisture contained in the wood cell walls. The moisture content depends on the environmental conditions, i.e. temperature and relative humidity, but also ...
