Background technology
Existing studies show that, through the timber after the high-temperature heat treatment (heat treatment temperature is not less than 180 ℃), have a series of outstanding advantages such as good biodurable, weatherability, dimensional stability and safety, environmental protection, be applied to exterior decoration just increasingly extensively, the wood staircase, all many-sides such as park facility and sauna inner facility.
At present, known timber high-temperature processing method generally all is to carry out under normal pressure (0.1MPa).Yet, when timber carries out high-temperature heat treatment in the constant-pressure and high-temperature gas medium, its equilibrium moisture content is very low, because the timber top layer reached equilibrium moisture content in the heat treatment process before sandwich layer, can not keep higher equilibrium moisture content, cause on the timber cross section moisture gradient steeper, dry Wood Dimensional Stability difference and form seasoning defect drying defects such as cracking, shrinkage easily can not be guaranteed the dry mass of timber.In addition, in the constant-pressure and high-temperature heat treatment process, in order at high temperature to keep the state of high humidity, need constantly feed a large amount of saturated vapors, cause energy consumption higher, the rate of drying that the constant-pressure and high-temperature of timber is handled is slow, and drying time is long, the production cost height.
China all is in the constant-pressure and high-temperature gas medium timber to be handled relevant for timber high-temperature heat treatment technology, as: publication number is that the Chinese patent application of CN1876343A discloses a kind of " high temperature water heat processing method of timber ", and the concrete steps of this method are: 1) timber is placed the high-temperature heat treatment stove; Temperature in the high-temperature heat treatment stove is brought up to 120~150 ℃ of insulations; 2) after moisture content is reduced to below 5%, improve temperature to the 180 ℃~240 ℃ of insulations in the high-temperature heat treatment stove; Temperature retention time kept 0.5~3 hour by the timber of every centimetre of thickness; 3) temperature of reduction high-temperature heat treatment stove after temperature is reduced to below 100 ℃, is handled timber with steam or hot water, makes moisture content to 7~10% of timber; 4) continuation reduces the temperature in the high-temperature heat treatment stove, comes out of the stove after the timber temperature inside is reduced to about 40 ℃; 5) balance time more than 15 days in atmospheric environment.This Wood heat treatment method is under normal pressure, because when timber is heat-treated in the constant-pressure and high-temperature gas medium, its equilibrium moisture content is very low, and timber moisture gradient on the cross section changes greatly, particularly is easy to generate defectives such as cracking, shrinkage for high-moisture percentage or the bigger timber of thickness; Secondly, because the high-temperature heat treatment stove not being carried out vacuum decompression in the timber heat treatment incipient stage handles, therefore in the high-temperature heat treatment medium, the oxygen that must contain some so not only can quicken the oxidation of wood surface, influences timber high-temperature heat treatment quality, and compare with pure superheated steam, this kind high-temperature heat treatment medium specific heat and heat transfer coefficient are less, and its resistance to mass tranfer is big, the heat treatment cycle lengthening; Moreover this processing method is not considered the influence of programming rate to heat treatment process and effect, and randomness is bigger during process implementing.
Publication number is that the Chinese patent application of CN1868704A discloses " Wood carbonization treatment method ", this method adopts the continuous temperature-rising method of staged, temperature is warming up to 120~140 ℃ earlier, be warming up to 160~240 ℃ again, treat that the charing processing procedure finishes, spray atomized water and slowly be cooled to 100 ℃ that the saturated steam that feeds 100 ℃ then carries out damping moisture regain processing to timber by timber, the moisture content of timber is adjusted back 4~6%, and timber is cooled to temperature and is higher than kiln discharge after 15~30 ℃ of the room temperatures.Also under normal pressure, equilibrium moisture content is low in the charing processing procedure for this inventive method, and timber easily produces defectives such as cracking, shrinkage; Compare as the high-temperature heat treatment medium with pure superheated steam, the heat treatment cycle lengthening, and do not consider the influence of programming rate in the technology to heat treatment process and effect.
Publication number is that the Chinese patent application of CN101069972A discloses " a kind of preparation method of heat-treatment charred wood ", and this method comprises preparation, preheating, intensification, insulation and temperature-fall period.Temperature rise period wherein: medium temperature in the kiln is warmed up to 95~105 ℃ with the speed of 10~18 ℃/h; Then be warmed up to 120~130 ℃ material carried out high temperature drying, and the moisture content of timber inside almost drops to 0 with the speed of 3~8 ℃/h; Speed with 12~20 ℃/h is warmed up between 185~220 ℃ again; Adopting batch (-type) spray steaming method to spray to steam in this temperature rise period handles.This inventive method also under normal pressure, also exists equilibrium moisture content low in the charing processing procedure, timber easily produces defectives such as cracking, shrinkage; In the heat treatment carbonization process, adopt step spray to steam the processing damping, random big, relatively more difficult to control of product quality, the difficult and control of the quality of the timber of preparation.
Do not find as yet at present timber to be carried out the research document and the patent application of high-temperature process by improving environmental pressure.
