    Abstract: Ultraviolet-C (UVC) photochemistry for customizing an appearance of a wood product is described. In an implementation, a calculated amount of UVC radiation at a wavelength between 100-290 nanometers, for example, is applied to wood to achieve a desired appearance. The customized wood is free of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of stains, varnishes, and paints. The amount of UVC radiation to apply can be based on the tannin content of the wood or on other wood parameters or added photoactive agents. Photochemical interaction between the UVC radiation and various wood extracts, metal ion solutions, acids, bases, and oxidizers is also used to modify the color or lightness of a wood product. An example system includes multiple stations for programmatically spraying a wood product with various processing solutions, drying the wood, and irradiating the wood at one or more stages of the process with UVC radiation to interact with both the processing solutions and the wood surface, at programmed time intervals.

    Abstract translation: 描述了用于定制木制品外观的紫外线-C(UVC)光化学。 在一个实施方案中,将例如在100-290纳米之间的波长的计算量的UVC辐射施加到木材上以实现期望的外观。 定制的木材没有挥发性有机化合物(VOC)的污渍,清漆和油漆。 应用的UVC辐射量可以基于木材的单宁含量或其他木材参数或添加的光活性剂。 UVC辐射与各种木材提取物,金属离子溶液,酸,碱和氧化剂之间的光化学相互作用也用于改变木制品的颜色或亮度。 示例系统包括多个站,用于以编程方式喷洒具有各种处理溶液的木制品,干燥木材,以及在该过程的一个或多个阶段用UVC辐射照射木材,以与处理溶液和木材表面相互作用 时间间隔。
