Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of biomass material processing, and particularly relates to a long-acting protection processing method of round bamboo. BACKGROUND
[0002] Bamboo is an important engineering material with light weight, high strength, hardness, wear resistance, high rigidity and good toughness. Making full use of bamboo can alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand of wood in the country and effectively supplement wood resources. Bamboo has defects of easy deformation and mildew in the utilization process. In order to protect the long-term utilization and engineering popularization of bamboo, it is necessary to protect the bamboo.
[0003] Compared with bamboo board, round bamboo has high material utilization rate and simple processing technology, but the structural characteristics of the epidermal layer, intermediate layer and pith ring are obviously different, so that the round bamboo is more susceptible to environmental humidity than the board. In addition, the permeability and adhesion of the surface of the round bamboo are obviously lower than those of wood and bamboo board, so the protection of the round bamboo often uses vacuum pressure impregnation and step modification technology, and has certain requirements for equipment. Fresh round bamboo needs to be dried before utilization or modification, and unreasonable drying will also cause defects of the round bamboo. Therefore, researchers are committed to exploring a round bamboo protection method convenient for industrial production. SUMMARY
[0004] In view of the problems that the round bamboo is susceptible to environmental humidity in the prior art and has relatively high requirements for equipment in the processing process, the application provides a long-acting protection processing method of round bamboo. The method is suitable for processing of fresh round bamboo, effectively improves the surface quality, dimensional stability and mildew-proof effect of the round bamboo, and widens the application region of the round bamboo as an engineering material.
[0005] The application is implemented by the following technical scheme:
[0006] A long-acting protection processing method of round bamboo comprises the following steps:
[0007] (1) Pretreatment: cleaning the surface of the round bamboo and breaking the joints;
[0008] (2) Wet heat treatment: wet heat treating the pretreated round bamboo under the environmental conditions of 70-95% humidity and 70-95 ℃ temperature for 1-6 h;
[0009] (3) Drying: drying the wet heat treated round bamboo at a drying temperature of 60-90 ℃;
[0010] (4) Heat modification: heat modifying the dried round bamboo in an environment of 100-160 ℃ for 1-6 h;
[0011] (5) Surface finishing: Use wood wax oil or vegetable oil to finish the inner and outer surfaces of the round bamboo. The coating dries until the surface solidifies into a film.
[0012] Furthermore, the round bamboo material is one of moso bamboo, cycad bamboo, red bamboo, purple bamboo, Phyllostachys pubescens, laurel bamboo, square bamboo and bamboo.
[0013] Furthermore, the drying method described in step (3) is one of kiln drying, microwave drying, and natural drying, and the drying is performed to a moisture content of 10-15%.
[0014] Furthermore, the drying method in step (3) is a kiln drying method, and the drying temperature is 70-80°C.
[0015] Furthermore, in step (4), the thermal modification is carried out at 120-140°C for 3-6 h.
[0016] Furthermore, the vegetable oil in step (5) is one of tung oil, linseed oil, palm oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, and coconut oil.
[0017] Furthermore, the number of coating times in step (5) is 2-3 times.
[0018] In the present invention, the surface of the round bamboo is cleaned and the bamboo nodes are opened before protection, which can not only improve the visual effect of the round bamboo, but also increase the protection life of the round bamboo surface coating. Opening the bamboo nodes can prevent the round bamboo from cracking due to changes in air pressure during the drying process, and facilitate the coating of the inner surface of the round bamboo; wet heat pretreatment of fresh round bamboo can reduce the cracks and cracks that appear during the drying process of fresh round bamboo, and improve the drying quality and drying speed of the round bamboo. Moreover, during the wet heat pretreatment process, the wax in the round bamboo migrates outward to form a dense and smooth surface layer, solving the problem that the silicon layer on the surface of the round bamboo is easy to fall off and has poor adhesion; finally, the protection of the round bamboo is completed by a two-step method of thermal modification and surface coating. The function of the bamboo cells is improved by low-temperature thermal modification of the round bamboo, and then the surface of the round bamboo is coated with wood wax oil or natural plant oil to further improve the dimensional stability and mildew resistance of the round bamboo.
[0019] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are:
[0020] The round bamboo processing method of the present invention can be directly used to process fresh round bamboo while maintaining the cylindrical structure of the round bamboo, effectively improving the surface quality, dimensional stability and mildew resistance of the round bamboo, broadening the application area of round bamboo as an engineering material, and enhancing the market competitiveness of round bamboo. The processing method is simple and easy to implement and promote. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
