An Extensive Study of an Eco-Friendly Fireproofing Process of Lignocellulosic <i>Miscanthus</i> × <i>giganteus</i> Particles and Their Application in Flame-Retardant Panels.

ABSTRACT: Increasing the flame retardancy of lignocellulosic materials such as Miscanthus × giganteus can effectively enable their wide use. This study examines the fireproofing process of Miscanthus particles using an eco-friendly process by grafting phytic acid and urea in aqueous solution. Miscanthus particles underwent a steam explosion step before being grafted. Fireproof binderless particle panels were manufactured from miscanthus particles with or without adding olive pomace by hot-pressing. The effect of the steam explosion and/or the flame-retardant treatment on the morphology, chemical composition and thermal stability of the particles, as well as the thermal stability of the panels, was investigated. The results showed that water impregnation followed by a steam explosion at
