The pilot-plant manufacture of fibreboard based on wheat
straw involves seven major processes (Table 1). Except for the
use of hydrogen peroxide, these processes are much the same
as the Mid Sweden University & Metso method of manufacturing
strawMDF and HDF (Halvarsson et al., 2008). Chemicals
such as hydrogen peroxide, co-reactants and calcium chloride
(CaCl2)were added to the DefibratorTM system instead of using
a binder such as MUF resin.
