Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of an additive in a process for producing wood-based materials from lignocellulose-containing comminution products, wherein a reduction of the emission of volatile organic compounds and aldehydes including formaldehyde from wood, the crushed products and the wood-based material produced is achieved. More particularly, the present invention relates to a use of an additive for reducing the emission of volatile organic compounds and aldehydes, including formaldehyde, wherein wood or the lignocellulose shredded products are treated with thiosulfates, preferably a certain combination of compounds of thiosulfates and ureas, to control the emission of these volatiles prevent organic compounds including aldehydes from the wood or the wood-based material produced.
  • the present invention relates to using this additive producible wood materials.
  • the present invention provides the use of treating agents for treating wood or lignocellulosic crushing products and wood-based materials made therefrom which are capable of reducing the emission of aldehydes including formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds and their corresponding use.
  • Lignocellulosic or lignocellulosic materials such as wood and wood pulp products, and derived timber products, such as wood-based panels, include volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and very volatile organic compounds (VVOCs), such as formaldehyde. Volatile organic compounds are subsumed with all volatile organic compounds whose retention time in the gas chromatogram lies between C6 (hexane) and C16 (hexadecane). Among the very volatile organic compounds, among others, formic acid and formaldehyde are counted.
  • aldehydes as used herein includes not only the volatile compounds but also all other aldehydes, especially formaldehyde, unless otherwise specified.
  • Volatile organic compounds and very volatile organic compounds occur depending on the nature and condition of the lignocelluloses, such as the type of wood, the storage period, the storage conditions of the wood or the comminution products of lignocellulose, in different chemical compositions and quantities.
  • the VOCs are derived essentially from extractives of the lignocelluloses, e.g. of wood or conversion products. Prominent representatives of these are substances such as alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, delta-3-carene. Especially in the wood of the conifers, these components are found again. Conversion products, e.g. during storage and processing of the wood and shredded products, e.g. Pentanal and hexanal.
  • softwoods which mainly produce chipboard, medium-density fiberboard (MDF) or OSB boards, contain large quantities of resin and fats which lead to the formation of volatile organic terpene compounds and aldehydes. Some of these substances are also formed by degradation of the main components of the wood, such as lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose. VOCs including aldehydes and formaldehyde may also be formed by the use of certain adhesives for the manufacture of wood-based materials.
  • Adhesives currently used in the manufacture of wood-based materials such as OSB boards, medium density fiberboard, etc. include aminoplast adhesives, such as urea-formaldehyde adhesives (UF adhesives), melamine-urea-phenol-formaldehyde adhesives (MUPF adhesives) or melamine-urea-formaldehyde adhesives (MUF adhesives).
  • aminoplast adhesives such as urea-formaldehyde adhesives (UF adhesives), melamine-urea-phenol-formaldehyde adhesives (MUPF adhesives) or melamine-urea-formaldehyde adhesives (MUF adhesives).
  • Other adhesives typically used in wood-based materials include diisocyanate-based adhesives (PMDI), polyurethane adhesives, phenol-formaldehyde (PF) adhesives, and / or tannin-formaldehyde (TF) adhesives, or mixtures thereof.
  • PMDI diisocyanate-based adhesives
  • VOCs and the formaldehyde take place both during the production of the wood-based materials as well as after their production or in their application.
  • partial chemical degradation of the wood may occur.
  • volatile compounds such as aldehydes and acids, then emit during the later manufacturing process or later use of the produced wood materials. They can also have a negative influence on the bond strength and thus adversely affect the properties of the produced wood materials.
  • the WO 02/072323 describes methods for reducing the emission of formaldehyde from layered products containing at least two layers, wherein the surface of a plate or a veneer is treated with a solution containing sulfite or bisulfite.
  • the examples illustrate that veneer is treated with a sulfite solution to lower formaldehyde emission.
  • From the WO 2007/012350 are known processes for the production of wood-based articles with low emission of chemical compounds, namely low formaldehyde emission when using formaldehyde-containing resins.
  • the treatment of wood chips or wood fibers with bisulfite is proposed.
  • JP -A- 2001164235 Catcher for formaldehyde and process for the treatment of wood panels.
  • the wood materials produced by methods of the prior art show an unsatisfactory VOC and aldehyde emission, especially during prolonged use.
  • the object is achieved by using an additive according to claim 1, wherein a special composition is added to the wood or the lignocellulosic crushing products or the wood-based materials in order, by reaction with the VOCs and the aldehydes, to modify them so that they are no longer from the wood or emit the crushed products or derived from the wood materials produced from the crushed products.
  • the resulting compounds are so high molecular weight that they are no longer volatile and thus no longer contribute in the long term to the VOC emissions or aldehyde emissions including formaldehyde emissions.
  • the addition of the additive may take place before or after the comminution and work-up of the comminuted products, e.g. B. after the refiner in fibers done.
  • the additives can be impregnated into the wood, the lignocellulosic crushing products can be treated with the additives z. B. be impregnated.
  • the application of the additives takes place immediately before the hot pressing or before the dryer.
  • the addition of the adhesive can be carried out before or after the application of the additive.
  • the individual components of the additive can be applied simultaneously or separately. In other words, the additive can be applied in solution to the lignocellulose-containing comminution products by conventional means. Alternatively, the lignocellulose-containing comminution products can be treated individually with the components.
  • the component from the group i) before or after the component from the group ii) are applied separately.
  • This application or treatment can be carried out before or after application of the adhesive.
  • the adhesive can also be effected between the application of a first component of the additive and the second component of the additive.
  • An essential advantage of the present invention is that it is provided in additives which, in a reduction step, reduce aldehydes as well as other volatile organic compounds, in particular those with double bonds, so that the Emission of these VOCs and aldehydes including formaldehyde can also be reduced in the long term and a disruption of the technological process does not occur.
  • thiosulfates in particular the general formula MeS 2 O 3 or Me 2 (S 2 O 3 wherein Me represents an alkali, alkaline earth metal or ammonium
  • the emissions in particular the long-term emission of VOC and aldehydes including formaldehyde made of wood and wood materials can be reduced.
  • the additive thus preferably contains at least one component in each case from the two groups i) and ii).
  • Group i) comprises thiosulfates.
  • they are thiosulfates of the general formula MeS 2 O 3 or Me 2 (S 2 O 3 ), where Me is an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, or ammonium.
  • Me is an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, or ammonium.
  • Preferred is the thiosulfate of one of the group of sodium thiosulfate, ammonium thiosulfate, lithium thiosulfate, potassium thiosulfate, calcium thiosulfate, magnesium thiosulfate.
  • the thiosulfate salt used is sodium thiosulfate or ammonium thiosulfate and most preferably ammonium thiosulfate.
  • antioxidant properties can suppress the VOC emission, which are caused for example by oxidation.
  • the resulting from the thiosulfate intermediate Sulfite can z. B. with isolated double bonds, such as those contained in, inter alia, terpenes, fats or fatty acids, by reduction or addition with these compounds.
  • At least one thiosulfate is added to the comminuted products in the use according to the invention.
  • the salts used are preferably ammonium thiosulfate and / or sodium thiosulfate.
  • Group ii) comprises urea and urea derivatives, such as monomethylolurea or methyleneurea. Preference is given to using urea.
  • Urea also reacts with formaldehyde to form mono- and dimethylolurea. This reaction is very slow and thus also allows a long-term lowering of the formaldehyde levels in the wood materials.
  • urea alone is not meaningful because the reaction with formaldehyde is very slow and it is an equilibrium reaction, so that formaldehyde can be released at a later date again.
  • a combination of at least one component of group i) and at least one component from group ii) is used according to the invention for the wood or the comminution products or the wood-based materials. Due to the different reaction modes or reaction times of the added components in relation to formaldehyde and VOC, the long-term emission of VOC and formaldehyde can be very effectively changed, thereby optimizing the properties of the wood-based materials. Furthermore, thiosulfate salts of group i) are suitable for stabilizing ureas of group ii) by preventing urea hydrolysis. Thus, a better effectiveness of group ii) can be assumed.
  • the at least one thiosulfate salt is added in an amount of from 0.1% by weight to 5% by weight, based on atro-lignocellulose. Particular preference is given to amounts of from 0.2% by weight to 1.5% by weight, for. For example, a mixture of about 57% Solids content with 1% dosed on atro wood.
  • the amount of urea is preferably in the range of 0.5% by weight to 5% by weight, based on atorocellulose.
  • the described treatment agents can be used to reduce emissions from wood, lignocellulose-containing crushed products or wood-based materials, eg. B. in the production of wood-based materials are used, wherein the addition is carried out according to the method according to the invention advantageously via standard equipment for binder dosing, such as Beleimtrommel, blow-line gluing or dry gluing.
  • the addition of the solution to the mat via nozzles directly in front of the hot press is possible.
  • the additive is not mixed with the adhesive, but added before or after application of the adhesive crushing products immediately prior to hot pressing. It is not limited only to formaldehyde-containing adhesives, but also extends to all other thermosetting or thermosetting adhesives used in wood-based materials, such as e.g. PMDI.
  • the wood can be impregnated directly with the additives according to the invention. This impregnation can take place before the comminution of the wood; An impregnation after production of the wood material is also possible.
  • VOC volatile organic compounds
  • aldehydes including formaldehyde
  • the thiosulfate salt is those derived from sodium and ammonia.
  • a further preferred embodiment relates to a composition (treating agent) of the abovementioned type in which at least one thiosulfate salt is used in combination with urea and / or urea derivative.
  • the present invention provides wood materials available according to the use of the invention. These wood-based materials are characterized by a reduced emission of volatile organic compounds, in particular the aldehydes including formaldehyde.
