Description

Technical Field

[0002] The theory of carbon emissions throughout the entire life cycle of buildings encompasses the production, design, construction, use, and even dismantling of building materials. For the production and use stages, which account for the largest share of carbon emissions, multi-dimensional research findings have been developed. However, research on the large-scale application of dismantled and reused building materials remains limited and lacks in-depth exploration.

[0003] For example, patent publication number CN111687960A, entitled "A Method for Recycling Waste Wooden Formwork in Construction," describes a patented technology that utilizes waste wooden formwork for resource recovery. This involves surface treatment, cutting, fumigation, and core board splicing to achieve recycling, resulting in energy conservation and environmental protection by saving timber resources and reducing pollution. Another example is patent publication number CN103104088A, entitled "A Method for Making Recycled Building Boards Using Waste Construction Formwork." Using waste formwork as raw material, this patent optimizes the molding process of the recycled product. It improves key processes such as nail removal, width and thickness limiting sawing, side gluing with staggered joints, horizontal core board splicing, and high-temperature, high-pressure lamination. The resulting recycled building board features high strength and high modulus, significantly increasing the reuse rate of waste formwork while reducing the environmental pressure from incineration and landfill.

Attached Figure Description

[0085] Figure 1 This is a flowchart comparing the carbon emissions of the traditional process and the regeneration process in this embodiment of the invention. Detailed Implementation

[0086] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this invention clearer, the specific embodiments of this invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely preferred examples of this invention, used to aid in understanding the inventive concept, and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection.

[0087] Wooden formwork is a core auxiliary material used in concrete pouring and shaping during construction. It is widely used in the construction of beams, slabs, columns, walls, and other structures. However, due to limitations in strength and surface wear, it can typically only be reused 3-5 times, resulting in a huge amount of waste. According to statistics, in 2024, the annual consumption of timber for wooden formwork production in the construction formwork industry was approximately 11.5 million to 12.8 million cubic meters. Calculated based on a comprehensive waste rate of 30%-50%, the annual waste amount was approximately 3.45 million to 6.4 million cubic meters, concentrated in the building demolition stage. It is a typical high-volume recyclable waste in the construction industry.

[0088] Choosing wood formwork as a raw material for recycled engineered wood products stems from several key advantages: First, a stable and abundant resource supply: Wood formwork originates from waste wood formwork, with a large existing stock and smooth recycling channels. Raw materials can be provided without felling new trees, ensuring production. Second, significant cost control advantages: As a recycled raw material, wood formwork has a low purchase price, directly reducing raw material costs. The recycling process eliminates the need for complex pre-treatment of raw materials, reducing processing costs. Third, strong processing adaptability: Wood formwork is mostly made of high-quality softwood, retaining a relatively intact fiber structure, meeting the requirements of engineered wood product manufacturing processes. This results in higher work efficiency and a more stable yield. Fourth, it aligns with environmental protection and policy guidelines: It achieves the recycling of construction waste, recycled raw materials, and engineered wood products, reducing wood waste and landfill volume, conforming to the scientific development concept of green manufacturing.

[0089] This embodiment proposes a method for carbon emission accounting of the entire process of recycling waste wooden formwork into engineered wood panels. The accounting process can be referred to [reference needed]. Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart comparing the carbon emissions of traditional and regeneration processes.

This process can be marked as Energy Saving Process A.

[0091] The total mass of waste wood formwork and the mass of recyclable wood formwork are calculated based on the building area of ​​the demolition project.

[0092] Considering natural wear and tear during the service life of wooden formwork, such as tearing during turnover, decay, and failure to meet formaldehyde emission standards, the total mass of discarded wooden formwork is calculated using the following formula:

The initial usage of timber formwork per unit area (t / ㎡) is taken as 0.04t / ㎡.

[0095] Before recycling wooden formwork, severely damaged pieces and nail-attached fragments must be removed. The recyclable wooden formwork weight is calculated using the following formula:

[0097] In the formula, This indicates the mass of recyclable waste wood formwork (unit: tons). The percentage of loss caused by tearing of wooden formwork and residual nails during the dismantling process is 15%. The percentage (%) of recyclable timber formwork is taken as 60%. In engineering practice and industry reports, the recycling rate of timber formwork is usually a range, and its specific value is affected by various factors such as the formwork material, the level of use and maintenance, the project type, and the definition of recycling (whether it is direct reuse, downgraded use, or recycling as a material). Based on multiple studies on the sustainability of building formwork, the recycling rate of timber formwork in actual projects is often estimated to be between 50% and 70%; based on this, this scheme takes a conservative midpoint of 60% as the calculation parameter.

[0098] The carbon emissions during the dismantling of recyclable wood formwork are calculated. Both mechanical crushing and cutting, as well as manual operations, generate carbon emissions during the dismantling process. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0099]

[0100] In the formula, This indicates the total carbon emissions during the removal of recyclable wood formwork. This indicates carbon emissions during the use of machinery.

[0128] In the formula, This indicates the rated power of the crusher (unit: kW). This indicates the time (in hours) for crushing a unit mass of wooden formwork.

[0129] The carbon emission calculation formula for drying timber formwork into qualified waste is as follows:

[0131] In the formula, Indicates the rated power of the drying equipment. This indicates the drying time per unit mass of wood chips. This represents the auxiliary heat source consumption during the drying process (unit: L / t, taking natural gas as an example), taken as 80-120 L / t. Natural gas carbon emission factor (unit: / L), take 0.0021 / L.

[0132] During the crushing, drying, and chemical treatment processes, the cellulose and hemicellulose in the wood may undergo slight decomposition, releasing small amounts of... Recycled wood formwork scraps need to undergo chemical treatment for preservation and insect control before processing. The preservatives and insect control agents used (such as urea-formaldehyde resin) will release substances during their production, use, and degradation. Especially for raw materials with a relatively low degree of decay, this process involves the consumption of chemical agents and the resulting carbon emissions. Therefore, the carbon emission calculation formula for transporting recyclable wood formwork to a recycling plant for chemical treatment is as follows:

[0143] Criteria for judging wood decay: Referring to GB / T 13942.1-2009 Wood durability properties - Part 1: Laboratory test methods for natural decay resistance, when the density loss rate of decayed wood exceeds 20%, it is usually judged as unsuitable for use as raw material for structural or engineered wood products and must be removed as waste.

This indicates the quality of the engineered wood panel after cooling. This indicates the mass loss rate during the cooling process. According to the "Building Carbon Emission Calculation Standard" (GB / T51366-2019), the cooling loss rate during the building material processing is clearly defined, and the cooling loss rate is generally between 1% and 3%.

[0163] Compared to directly using logs to produce engineered wood products, based on the preliminary decomposition and accounting results, the comprehensive carbon emission factor of energy consumption is quantified and summarized. The comprehensive carbon emission factor of energy consumption for processing recycled wood templates into engineered wood products is shown in the following formula:

[0164]

[0165] In the formula, This refers to the comprehensive carbon emission factor of energy consumption during the production of recycled engineered wood panels using waste wooden formwork generated from the demolition of old buildings as part of the raw materials. The comprehensive carbon emission factor represents the energy consumption during the production of engineered wood products. This indicates the proportion of shredded wood template waste consumed during the production of engineered wood panels. This indicates the energy-saving index of shredded wood formwork waste, which is the energy-saving index of wood formwork waste recycling relative to traditional disposal.

[0166] The energy-saving index of wood formwork waste recycling compared to traditional disposal methods can be found in Tables 2 and 3. The energy-saving index of wood formwork waste is generally between 30% and 60%.

[0168]

[0169] Table 3 Energy Consumption Index per Unit Product for Each Process in Wood-based Panel Production

[0170]

[0171] In this implementation, the energy consumption in the production of engineered wood products mainly comes from fossil fuel consumption (such as electricity and natural gas) and production process energy consumption (such as drying and hot pressing). The comprehensive carbon emission factor is essentially the sum of carbon emissions corresponding to various energy consumptions during the production of a unit mass of engineered wood products. Therefore, the expression for the comprehensive carbon emission factor of energy consumption in the production process of engineered wood products is as follows:

[0172]

[0173] In the formula, This represents the average electricity consumption for producing 1 ton of engineered wood products (unit: kWh / t). This represents the average natural gas consumption (unit: m³ / t) for producing 1 ton of general-purpose engineered wood panel. The figure represents the carbon emission factor of natural gas (unit: ). / m³).

[0174] Table 4 provides a reference for calculating the high and low limits of energy consumption and carbon emission factors in the production of wood-based panels.

[0175] Table 4. Calculation Table of High and Low Limits for Energy Consumption and Carbon Emission Factors in Wood-based Panel Production

[0176]

[0177] Third, calculate the carbon emissions of traditional process factories processing recycled wood-based panels, construct a carbon emission difference calculation model between traditional and recycled processes, and quantify the total carbon emission savings from using waste wood templates to replace virgin wood.

[0178] The carbon emissions from processing recycled wood-based panels using traditional methods are calculated, including emissions from three stages: traditional logging, traditional transportation, and traditional production. The formula is as follows:

[0179]

[0180] In the formula, This indicates the carbon emissions from the production of traditional virgin engineered wood panels in conventional factories. This indicates the carbon emissions from electricity consumed during the logging process in traditional methods. This indicates the carbon emissions from diesel fuel consumed during the transportation phase of traditional processes. This represents the total carbon emissions generated by energy consumption and chemical reactions in the traditional production process of engineered wood panels.

[0181] The carbon emissions from mechanical energy consumption during the logging, felling, pruning, and timber collection processes in forest land, and the carbon emissions from electricity consumption in the traditional logging process, are calculated using the following formula:

[0182]

[0183] In the formula, This indicates the total volume processed by traditional virgin timber factories. This indicates the carbon emission factor per unit of logging;

[0184] The carbon emissions from transporting logs from the logging site to the engineered wood product factory via diesel trucks in traditional processes are calculated using the following formula:

[0185]

[0186] In the formula, This indicates the average transportation distance from the logging site to the wood-based panel manufacturing plant. This indicates the unit mass transportation energy consumption of diesel trucks (the amount of diesel consumed to transport 1 ton of goods for 1 km). Indicates the carbon emission factor of diesel fuel;

[0187] The carbon emissions from traditional log processing into engineered wood products mainly come from two aspects: equipment electricity consumption and adhesive consumption. The formula for calculating the total carbon emissions from energy consumption and chemical reactions in traditional engineered wood product manufacturing processes is as follows:

[0188]

[0189] In the formula, This represents the total electricity required to produce 1 ton of engineered wood panels. Indicates the carbon emission factor of electricity. Indicates the carbon emission factor of adhesives (unit: / t), This indicates the mass ratio of adhesive to the mass of the engineered wood panel after hot pressing.

[0190] A carbon emission difference calculation model for traditional and recycled processes was constructed to quantify the total carbon emission savings from replacing virgin wood with waste wood templates.

[0191] The expression for constructing the carbon emission difference accounting model between traditional and regeneration processes is as follows:

[0192]

[0193] In the formula, This indicates the carbon emission reduction from using waste wood templates to produce recycled engineered wood panels. This indicates the carbon emissions from the traditional production of engineered wood panels. This indicates the carbon emissions of the recycling process that uses waste wood templates to regenerate engineered wood panels.

[0194] The specific calculation method, combining the above carbon emission calculation formulas, yields the following formula for calculating the carbon emissions of traditional processes for producing engineered wood panels:

[0195]

[0196] The carbon emission calculation formula for recycling engineered wood panels from waste wood templates is as follows:

[0197]

[0198] Therefore, the total carbon emission savings from replacing virgin timber with waste wood formwork can be expressed as follows:

[0199]

[0200] In the construction phase of secondary new buildings, recycled engineered wood panels made from recycled materials will be given priority. When the inventory of recycled engineered wood panels is insufficient to support the entire construction demand, conventional engineered wood panels will need to be purchased from the external market to fill the gap. For these purchased conventional engineered wood panels, the carbon emissions generated during their production process must be strictly measured in accordance with the accounting methods for the building material production stage as stipulated in the national standard GB / T 51366-2019 "Standard for Calculation of Carbon Emissions from Buildings".

[0201] If the production output of recycled engineered wood products exceeds the actual usage of this construction project, the surplus will be allocated to other construction or engineering projects. This effectively replaces the conventional engineered wood products that those projects would have originally consumed, thus offsetting the corresponding amount of carbon emissions from conventional engineered wood production. The calculation basis for the offset is consistent with the calculation rules for supplementary procurement, both using the same accounting model in the aforementioned national standards.

[0202] Specific example: A five-story library in a certain city was selected as the demolition project, with a building area of ​​15,378.5 square meters. The waste wood generated from the demolition was chosen as the recyclable material, processed into recycled artificial boards, and then used in the carbon emission accounting model of the present invention for calculation.

[0203] After calculation, it was found that:

[0204] Depend on The total mass of the discarded wooden formwork obtained from the demolition of the project is 522.869 tons; The total recyclable timber formwork obtained from the demolition of the project is 266.663 tons; The total weight of the non-recyclable wooden formwork is 256.206 tons; after dismantling, crushing, drying, and chemical treatment, it is recycled... The mass of wood template scrap obtained was 258.663t; from The carbon emissions generated during the recycling and reprocessing process are 273.1. Compared to the same amount of engineered wood produced using traditional methods The resulting carbon emissions are 301.9. Carbon emissions during the production phase were reduced by a total of 28.8%. .

[0205] The carbon emission accounting method for the recycling and reprocessing of waste wooden formwork into engineered wood products constructed in this invention can accurately calculate the carbon emissions of waste wooden formwork of different types and service stages throughout the entire process. It fills the gap in the current industry where there are no relevant accounting standards and the lack of research on carbon accounting for the life cycle recycling of wood materials. It reconstructs the circular development ideas of wood materials and provides a feasible quantitative tool for evaluating the carbon emission reduction benefits of specific projects. It has practical significance for promoting the low-carbon development of the construction industry and improving the recycling rate of waste wooden formwork resources. At the same time, it has both theoretical innovation value and industrial application value.
