As a leader in fast-growing forests, Chinese fir not only grows rapidly, is cold-resistant and compression-resistant, but also is the best choice for afforestation in the southern part of the Yangtze River Basin. Its tall and straight trunk and regular lateral branches complement each other, showing dazzling green, becoming the darling of landscape trees and road greening. In the Institute of Marine Disaster Prevention Center in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, cedar bark, a neglected treasure, is now full of new vitality.

Abandoned treasure

Chinese fir bark is a neglected treasure, and a large number of Chinese fir bark is abandoned every year. Nowadays, researchers skillfully use it to purify seawater and make contributions to environmental protection.

Purify seawater

In the experiment, fir bark showed superior adsorption capacity, which was comparable to ordinary polypropylene fiber. This innovative method provides a new idea for cleaning up marine oil pollution and a strong support for protecting the marine environment.

Optimum adsorption material

In the comparison of many materials, fir bark stands out as the best adsorption material. This discovery provides new opportunities for environmental protection and new possibilities for the reuse of fir bark.

Environmental protection pioneer

Researchers are planning to conduct large-scale experiments at sea, expecting this innovative method to be put into practical application as soon as possible. Let the fir bark move from the obscure corner to the front line of environmental protection, which has become a powerful backing for protecting marine ecology.
