Laboratory technology

Although biomass-to-methanol technology has yet to be commercialized, laboratory technology suggests that commercial production would be feasible at a cost of about 0.20/L. Assuming that expected improvements ia syagas cleanup and a reduction ia feedstock costs are realized, the costs may be reduced to the target of 0.15/L as early as 1998.

Problems and facts that in the author s personal experience arise in the industrial application of tannin-based adhesives for timber sometimes indicate lack of correspondence with laboratory practice and results. These are often problems related to unusual characteristics of the adhesive itself, or of its application technique, which could not be noticed during research under laboratory conditions, but the existence of which could easily jeopardize successful implementation of laboratory technology into industrial practice. Correcting the credibility gap between research focus and industrial usage is seen as a critical step toward market expansion for these new products. Important considerations are consistency of tannins, extracts and adhesives properties due to the natural raw material variability formulation in cold-setting adhesives and application conditions (such as wood moisture and adhesive-content or pressing time) in particleboard adhesives. These problems have been overcome in use of wattle tannin-based adhesives as shown by a visual comparison of tannin-, phenolic-, and melamine-bonded particleboards exposed to the weather for 15 years and the growing use of tannin-based adhesives in other countries.

In addition many traditional and other new laboratory technologies are available for the determination of those parameters that were mentioned in Tab. 11.1 (Chapter 11) and which are necessary to evaluate feed materials and agglomerated products during the first development phase.
