Sorting of impregnated wood

Abstract

This thesis aims to learn about the stages and materials involved in impregnating wood and enhancing their capabilities by doping chemical impurities with an introduction to pre- treatments and pressured impregnation methods. Post impregnation the wood is transported through a conveyance system, In this research, a comparison of a cost-efficient and economical line construction machinery suitable for sorting the impregnated wood material is evaluated, along with a qualitative experiment carried out on impregnated wood from a previous study on various laser sorting efficiencies XRF and LIBS are also studied that could detect the metals i.e. As, Cu, Cr in the impregnated wood and a detailed analysis of detection of impurities is identified in the following study. According to the following study, LIBS shows significant advantages over XRF, the subsequent belt conveyance is recommended as the main method of transporting wood products.
