The aim of this study was accomplished on identification and comparison of the phenolic chemical components in wood of Siberian elm, Common elm and Mountain elm tree. For this purpose, the samples were chosen randomly from of elm trees in Nowshahr's forest region. Then, flour and ash were provided from these woods of species (separate) by TAPPI standards. After samples prepared, samples were injected to the GC/MS device for it analysis. Identification of compounds was done by retention time of each compound, calculation of Quats index and Adams table. The result of GC-MS showed that there were 116, 41 and 18 compounds in wood of Siberian elm, Common elm and Mountain elm tree, respectively. That 5-Hydroxy-calamenen (21.23%), 1-Naphthalen carboxylic acid (15.41%), Naphthalene (0.96%) and phthalate (1.00%) were the most important compounds in wood of Siberian elm. The 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2,5-dimethyl-8-(1-methylethyl)-1-Naphthalenol(18.59%), Gamma-Sitosterol (13.44%), bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (12.28%) and 1-Naphthalen carboxylic acid (5.73%) were the most important compounds in wood of Common elm, too. There were the bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (93.40%), 4-(N-Isopropylamino)-6-phenyl (1.89%), 5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydro-1-naphthalenol (1.80%) and 8-methoxy-1-acetonaphthone (0.27%) as the most important compounds in wood of Mountain elm tree. In addition, the results showed that 9,12-Octadecanoic acid, Hexadecane, Dodecan, Tetradecan, 1-Naphthalen carboxylic acid and bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate were the 6 common compounds in the wood of Siberian elm and Common elm tree. There were the Qoinindolin, Tetradecan, Hexadecanoic acid and bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate were the 4 common compounds in the wood of Siberian elm and Mountain elm tree.

Sycamore tree (Platanus orientalis) is one of the species that planted in parks and urban green spaces and forests region of Tehran and other cities in Iran. The aim of this study was to identify and compare the phenolic chemical components in wood and bark of planted sycamore tree. In this study, three trees were randomly selected and felled in planted forest region of Tehran. Three disks were prepared from each tree and according to TAPPI standard tests, first wood flour and then the extractive (%) were separated from wood flour using acetone solvent. To identify of extractives, about 1mg extractives was mixed with 30 microliters BSTFA and the samples were analyzed using a gas chromatograph connected to mass spectrometry (MS) with a detector. Samples were then injected into the injection section of GC/MS using a Hamilton syringe. The compounds identification was performed using GC diagrams, abundance and retention time of each compound, calculation of quartz index and Adams table. The results showed that the average of extractives in wood and bark of the planted oriental plane tree were 3.6 and 16.6 percent, respectively. GC-MS results showed that 17 specification compounds were found in the plane wood. Furthermore, Hexadecanoic acid (22.18%), Heptadecan-8-carbonic acid (15.24%), and 1, 2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid (12.08%) were the most important compounds. The 41 compounds were identified in the plane bark that 9-Octadecanoic acid (19.88%), n-Hexandecanoic acid (16.41%), 9, 12-Octadecanoic acid (9.66%) and Gamma-Sitosterol (2.09%) were the most important compounds. In addition, the results showed that 9-Octadecanoic acid, Hexadecane, Dodecan, Tetradecan, Eicosan, Octadecane, and Decane were the 6 common compounds in the wood and bark of sycamore tree, as well

The aim of this study was accomplished on identification and comparison of chemical compounds in heart wood and bark of mulberry tree. For this purpose, the samples were chosen randomly from heart wood and bark of mulberry tree in Nowshahr's forest region. Then, flour and ash were provided from heart wood and bark of mulberry tree by TAPPI standards. For measured metallic ions, first the mineral compound of ash dissolved by 65% nitric acid and for its identified by atomic absorption method. The results showed that zinc ion in heart wood of mulberry tree was more than its bark, but manganese and iron ions were lower and its cupper ion was same. Then extractives were separated from wood flour by acetone and extractives residue transferred to glass vial and was added BSTFA reactive agent to it. After samples prepared, samples were injected to the GC/MS device for it analysis. Identification of compounds was done by retention time of each compound, calculation of Quats index and Adams table. The result of GC-MS showed that there are 30 compounds in bark of mulberry tree, that beta-Tocopherol(40.86%), bis (2-ethylhexyl)phthalate(11.2%), 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid(9.12%) and Triphenyl phosphine(9.82 were important components. 93 components identified heart wood of mulberry tree that resorcinol(79.47), methyl diphenyl methane(12.06%), p-xylene(0.06%) and gibberllin A3 (0.15%)di-limonene, as important components. These compounds can very important in durability and consumption its. Comparison of chromatograms showed that 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid was exists as a common components in heart wood and bark of mulberry tree.

AbstractAmong the forest diseases, fungi are the most important factors that cause irreparable losses to the wood in standing trees and logs. Fungi are the cause of contamination and decay of trees and timbers in forest or in the stock of factories. Decayed woods are one of the biomass resources and a great amount of decayed woods in the forests are not viable. In this study some experiments were conducted in order to investigate the effect of Coriolus versicolor decay on compounds obtained from beech wood (Fagus orientalis L.) pyrolysis and preparation of various and valuable chemicals. Separation and identification of chemical compounds in sound wood and decayed wood of beech was conducted by using pyrolysis method at 500° C and in nitrogen atmosphere. Separation and identification of extracted chemical compounds was carried out using sailylation of these compounds by N, O-bis (trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide and also using Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry method. Totally, 23 compounds were identified in sound beech wood which most of these compounds, in this temperature, are related to 2,6-dimethoxyphenol and 3-hidroxy-4-methoxy benzoic acid; and 31 compounds were detected in decayed beech wood that most of them are related to Cyclononasiloxane octadecamethy and 4-(3,4-Dimethoxybenzylidene)-1-(4-nitrophenyl) and also 17 compounds were detected the same in sound and decayed wood.

The conversion of biomass into biofuels which is a blend of alcohols and phenolic compounds has received significant attention in most countries. The purpose of this study was to identify the chemical composition of the pyrolysis oil products from Oak, Poplar woods, and Bagasse produced in a fixed bed reactor at temperature of 573 oK. Identification of compounds in the extracted liquids was accomplished through making derivatives using GC - MS spectroscopy. Main compounds identified in our experiments comprised 1 - Phenanthrene carboxylic acid from oak wood, 1, 2 - benzene di carbocyclic acid base (2 – ethyl hexyl) ester from poplar wood, and Levoglucosan from bagasse at the levels of 42, 50 and 27 wt% of the reaction products, respectively.
