2. Retification process and its control
2.1 Influencing factors
Given the physico-chemical complexity of wood, temperature rise alone does not govern the entire process. Numerous parameters influence the control of reactions and the final product.
SCROLL TO TOP2.1.1 Parameters related to the initial state of the wood
Species: its chemical composition and microstructure determine mass loss. The quality of the raw material has a direct impact on the quality of heat-treated wood. In principle, all species can be treated, but...
