摘要:
Provided are a composition from which a biomass material can be obtained with low energy through a simple process and facility, a formed body obtained from the composition, and a method for producing the formed body. A composition according to the present invention is a composition to be cured by applying heat/pressure thereto, the composition including an element in the form of powder or small pieces, and 8% by weight or more of condensed tannin and 8% by weight or more of a saccharide selected form the group consisting of a monosaccharide and an oligosaccharide. The saccharide is preferably sucrose, glucose, fructose, maltose, xylose, or lactose. Preferably, the composition further includes an acid catalyst.
摘要:
Disclosed is a composition from which a biomass material can be obtained with low energy through simple processes and facilities. Also disclosed are a formed body (a cured body such as a molding and a particleboard) obtained from the composition and a method for producing the formed body. Specifically disclosed is a composition which is cured by applying heat/pressure thereto. The composition is characterized by being mainly composed of a plant-derived material in the form of powder or small pieces and a polycarboxylic acid. It is preferable that the composition additionally contains a sugar. The composition is useful as a composition for molding or a composition for wood bonding. A formed body can be produced by adding a polycarboxylic acid and a sugar in the form of a solution into a plant-derived material in the form of small pieces, and applying heat/pressure thereto.
