Modeling and optimization of non-pressure borate treatment for Douglas fir and grand fir laminates

Abstract This study presents a sorption-based model approach to optimizing non-pressure borate treatment of Douglas fir ( Pseudotsuga menziesii ) and grand fir ( Abies grandis ) laminates for engineered wood products. Disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT), a water-soluble borate...
