Investigations on the sorption behaviour of selected wood species from Cameroon

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: : The sorption isotherms during adsorption and desorption of 25 wood species from Cameroon (included 3 species from plantation in Togo) were determined. In addition, the chemical compositions of these wood species were tested. The equilibrium moisture contents in a normal climate varied between 10,55% and 15,6%. A clear influence of the proportion of extractives can be seen. The maximum differences between adsorption and desorption varied between 2,3% and 3,6%.
