b) Oven-dry weight of chips
c) Natural-dry weight of chips
d) Oven-dry weight of pulp

Answer: b
Explanation: The bulk density is the oven-dry weight of chips (or sawdust, or other wood residue) contained in a given volume of space.

2. Bulk density of the chips depend on the specific gravity of wood source.
a) true
b) false

Answer: a
Explanation: The bulk density is the oven-dry weight of chips (or sawdust, or other wood residue) contained in a given volume of space.

3. Bulk density of the chips depends on the chip geometry
a) true
b) false

Answer: a
Explanation: The bulk density is the oven-dry weight of chips (or sawdust, or other wood residue) contained in a given volume of space.

4. Bulk density of the chips depends on the chip size distribution.
a) true
b) false

Answer: a
Explanation: The bulk density is the oven-dry weight of chips (or sawdust, or other wood residue) contained in a given volume of space.

5. According to the rule of thumb what is the value of chips yielded by the wood of 1 cubic meters?
a) 3.5 cubic meters
b) 2.6 cubic meters
c) 0.2 cubic meters
d) 6.8 cubic meters

Answer: b
Explanation: Rules of thumb are derived in order to identify an operating window that minimizes the volatilization of metals during thermochemical conversion of CCA in treated wood, while ensuring a good quality of charcoal product.
