Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method for producing a wood-based material in which exhaust air is produced which contains volatile organic substances, especially terpenes and/or aldehydes, and which is released into the environment. The method includes the step of introducing an oxidizing agent into the exhaust air, causing volatile organic compounds contained in the exhaust air to be oxidized, resulting in purified exhaust air.
Claims16
A method for producing a wood-based material in which exhaust air is produced which contains volatile organic substances in form of terpenes, and which is released into the environment, comprising introducing an oxidizing agent into the exhaust air, and causing terpenes contained in the exhaust air to be oxidized, resulting in purified exhaust air.
A wood-based material production device for producing a wood-based material comprising:
- (a) a comminution unit for comminuting wood,
- (b) a dryer for drying comminuted wood, producing exhaust air that contains volatile organic substances in the form of terpenes, characterized by
- (c) an exhaust air purifier that is configured to introduce an oxidizing agent into the exhaust air, causing volatile organic compounds contained in the exhaust air to be oxidized and resulting in purified exhaust air.
