Storage of Red Alder Chips With and Without Bark - Treated and Untreated.
Abstract
Screened chips from unbarked (rough wood) and debarked red alder logs were stored for 6 months in simulators of chip piles. Only minor differences were found in storage characteristics of the chips. During the last 4 months of storage, slightly more heat was evolved from the barkfree chips. Large losses in wood substance, pulp yield, and pulp strength were observed; however, they were essentially the same for both rough wood and debarked chips. Both types of chips also were treated by immersing in an aqueous solution of sodium N-methyldithiocarbamate + sodium 2,4-dinitrophenol and both types were effectively preserved.
