    When using wood chips in the garden, choose an organic variety that's free of dyes, chemicals, and paint, says Mizejewski. Bark, cedar, and pine straw are all popular types of wood mulch to use in ...

  3. Wood preservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_preservation

    Wood treated with this process is often used for cladding or siding, flooring, furniture and windows. For the control of pests that may be harbored in wood packaging material (i.e. crates and pallets ), the ISPM 15 requires heat treatment of wood to 56 °C for 30 minutes to receive the HT stamp .

  4. Carbonization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonization

    The gas produced by carbonization has a high content of carbon monoxide which is poisonous when breathed. Therefore, when working around the kiln or pit during operation and when the kiln is opened for unloading, care must be taken that proper ventilation is provided to allow the carbon monoxide, which is also produced during unloading through ...

  5. Pyrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrolysis

    ] Pyrolysis gas has a high percentage of heavy tar fractions, which condense at relatively high temperatures, preventing its direct use in gas burners and internal combustion engines, unlike syngas. The process is used heavily in the chemical industry , for example, to produce ethylene , many forms of carbon , and other chemicals from petroleum ...

  6. Liquefaction of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefaction_of_gases

    Liquid nitrogen. Liquefaction of gases is physical conversion of a gas into a liquid state (condensation). The liquefaction of gases is a complicated process that uses various compressions and expansions to achieve high pressures and very low temperatures, using, for example, turboexpanders.

  7. Endothermic gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endothermic_gas

    Endothermic gas is a gas that inhibits or reverses oxidation on the surfaces it is in contact with. This gas is the product of incomplete combustion in a controlled environment. An example mixture is hydrogen gas (H 2 ), nitrogen gas (N 2 ), and carbon monoxide (CO).

  8. Biochar carbon removal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochar_carbon_removal

    Biochar carbon removal (also called pyrogenic carbon capture and storage) is a negative emissions technology.It involves the production of biochar through pyrolysis of residual biomass and the subsequent application of the biochar in soils or durable materials (e.g. cement, tar).

  9. Thermally modified wood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermally_modified_wood

    Thermally modified wood is engineered wood that has been modified by a controlled pyrolysis process of wood being heated to (> 180 °C) in an oxygen free atmosphere. This process changes to the chemical structures of wood's cell wall components lignin , cellulose and hemicellulose which decreases its hygroscopy and thus increases dimensional ...
