The Possibility of Utilization of Pistachio lignocellulosic residue in Particleboard Production
The aim of current research was to investigate physical and mechanical properties of particle board made from pistachio lignocellulosic residue. The raw materials were prepared from Sirjan (Kerman province). Sample boards were made from pistachio lignocellulosic residue at two press time (4 and 5 minutes), two press temperature (170 and 180ᴼc) and three compositions (100 percent, 90:10 and 80:20 pruning residue to pistachio shell). The specimens were physically and mechanically tested as water absorption, thickness swelling, bending strength, modulus of elasticity and internal bonding. Afterward, the results were analyzed based on a complete randomized design (CRD) under a factorial experiment. Results revealed that pruning residues of pistachio trees can be used as suitable raw materials for particle board production. Moreover, pistachio shell can be used up to 10 percent in raw material composition, but physical and mechanical properties of boards will be reduced in higher consumption quantities.Keywords: Particle board, pruning residue, pistachio shell, composition, physical and mechanical properties
