USE OF ENERGY AND RESOURCE-SAVING TECHNOLOGIES OF THERMAL PROCESSING OF WOODEN MATERIALS

Abstract

The article analyzes the main advantages of using energy- and resource-saving technologies of thermal processing of wood materials. As a result of the conducted research, it has been proven that in today's difficult economic conditions, increasing the efficiency of woodworking industries, the ratio of the use of local and imported wood, and environmental protection are urgent tasks. In this regard, there is a need to analyze existing and develop conceptually new energy and resource-saving technologies for thermal processing of wood materials and organization of this type of work. The development of the woodworking industry in modern conditions requires flexibility, innovation and the ability to adapt to new conditions. At the same time, the woodworking industry must perform an important function in providing for the needs of the economic complex, industry, and the needs of the population and contribute to the restoration of the economic potential of our country, taking into account and minimizing the negative impact on the environment. It has been established that methods of obtaining thermal energy due to the thermal processing of waste from the woodworking industry are becoming more and more widespread. It has been proven that the main drawback of the process of thermal processing of wooden materials is that the ecological purity of this process is not ensured, since during the combustion of waste contaminated with various polymer inclusions, various toxic and highly toxic substances are emitted into the atmosphere with gases. All this leads to the need to develop and implement expensive gas purification systems.
