Abstract
Summary
Scots pine (Pinus silvestris) and Norway spruce (Picea abies) were dried in a laboratory kiln, using
conventional schedules with temperatures up to 60°C as well as schedules reaching 110°C. The losses
of terpenes, which completely dominate the fugitive emissions from kiln drying of softwoods, were estimated
by extraction of pooled subsamples from each batch, before and after drying. The original contents
of terpenes were found to be in the ranges of 0.4–0.5% in pine sapwood, 0.8–1.1% in pine heartwood,
and 0.02–0.08% in spruce, all calculated relative to the dry weight of the wood. The emissions
from pine corresponded to 25–50% of the original content and those from spruce to 10–50%. High temperature
drying in the laboratory was accompanied by larger losses, but this tendency was not found in
the full-scale drying of spruce. No consistent difference was found between timber from the north of
Sweden and from the south. Sampling of the vent exhaust fumes did not give results of sufficient reliability
to confirm the extraction analyses.
