, Available online  , doi: 10.12390/jbr2023070
Abstract(8) PDF(1)
Abstract:
【Objective】 To investigate the effects of proportioning between coal and biomass on the particle strength，apparent density，iodine adsorption value，methylene blue adsorption value，and pore structure  etc. of molded activated carbon preparation. 【Method】 In this study，bamboo charcoal with coal was used to prepare molded carbon，and granular activated carbon was prepared through steam activation. Representational means like scanning electron microscope，thermogravimet，nitrogen isothermal adsorption and desorption were used to analyze the physicochemical properties of the molded activated carbon made with bamboo charcoal and coal. 【Result】 The results show that introduction of bamboo charcoal will increase the adsorption values of  iodine and methylene blue of the molded activated carbon，but it will  reduce the strength and apparent density of the molded activated carbon，affecting its usage effects. 【Conclusion】 When the proportion of coal and bamboo charcoal was 1∶3，the indexes of adsorption performance and use strength both met the requirements，and the adsorption values of iodine  and  methylene blue were 934.7 mg·g-1，165 mg·g-1  respectively，and the strength was 86.4%，well meeting the regulations of national standard for drinking water，which has a good prospect for commercial application.

Abstract(7) PDF(1)
Abstract:
【Objective】 To determine the detection limit of formaldehyde emission detection methods for bamboo-based panels，and provide reference for formaldehyde emission detection work of testing agencies. 【Method】 According to the blank deviation method specified in HJ 168—2020，the detection limit of formaldehyde release from the artificial bamboo fiberboard boards by using the 1 m3 climate box method and desiccator method in GB/T 17657—2022 was evaluated. 【Result】 The results showed that the MDL of the 1 m3 climate chamber method was 0.013 mg·m-3 （10 mm optical path cuvette） and 0.006 mg·m-3 （50 mm optical path cuvette），while the MDL of the desiccator method was 0.035 mg·L-1 （10 mm optical path cuvette） and 0.022 mg·L-1 （50 mm optical path cuvette）. The precision and accuracy of the formaldehyde standard solution met the requirements，and the actual detection values of bamboo-wood fiberboard showed good repeatability. 【Conclusion】 The evaluation results of the detection limits of the two methods met the expected requirements；The evaluation limit of the 50 mm optical path cuvette was lower and the actual measurement results of bamboo and wood fiberboard met the expected requirements，therefore，50 mm optical path cuvette is more suitable for the analysis and evaluation of low concentration formaldehyde in bamboo-based panels.

, Available online  , doi: 10.12390/jbr2023063
Abstract(24) PDF(11)
Abstract:
【Objective】 To study the effects of grinding quality and manual technology on the basic mechanical properties of short and long axial compression rods made of 1 mm×6 mm bamboo strips. 【Method】 112 hollow box compression rods with section size of 6 mm×6 mm were fabricated by planning and grinding bamboo rods with different initial mass. The mass and ultimate bearing capacity of the hollow bar were tested，and the load-mass ratio was calculated. Finally，the influence of three different grinding processes on the mechanical properties of the bar was discussed. 【Result】 After grinding，the mass of the hollow short rod was reduced to 1/2 of the original，but the bearing capacity could reach 350 − 550 N，and the charge-mass ratio was above 560 N·g-1. 【Conclusion】 When selecting bamboo material in model making，the bamboo strip with small initial mass is selected for long rod and the bamboo strip with large initial mass is selected for short rod. The research results can provide reference for the selection and manufacture of rods in the national college students’ structural design competition.
