Preliminary study - TCN sawmill ash and possible applications
Knowledge about ash quantities, content and time aspect from Swedish sawmills is fragmentary and the purpose of this preliminary study is to get a more systematic picture of the situation for sawmills in TCN.
Development and research on applications of ash for various purposes is underway in several places and another purpose of the feasibility study is to find out what alternatives exist today or that may be relevant, but also to look at the possibility of new alternatives and investigate the conditions for new higher-valued products.
- Inventory the production of ash in a selected number of sawmills within TCN and the chemical content of these ashes. This in order to know how the potential for further utilization exists.
- Which methods exist today and which can be actualized.
- Investigate whether there is any bearing for new ideas and applications, such as the degree of purification required for different applications.
