Book Description
This study is part of a series of research papers that explore the biological, social, and economic aspects of British Columbia's mountain pine beetle epidemic. It examines lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) that has been attacked and killed by mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) and which goes through several stages (red and grey) following the attack. Wood moisture content decreases rapidly, typically to below fibre saturation point. As a consequence, the wood responds differently in both the chipping and pulping processes. Research on beetle-attacked wood has shown that many physical properties are not affected; wever wood-water interactions have not been studied in detail. In the two parts of this study, the sorption behaviour of beetle-killed wood in comparison to green wood is examined, and the influence of utilization of dry beetle-killed wood on kraft pulping operations and pulp quality is explored.--Includes text from Government of Canada publications site and from document.
