Speciation of leachates from CCA-treated wood
2005 - IRG/WP 05-50224-27
Different species of arsenic and chromium are characterized by different toxicities and different mobilities. The environmental impacts of CCA-treated wood would therefore be a function of the chemical forms of the metal releases. As a consequence a series of tasks were undertaken to evaluate arsenic and chromium species from CCA-treated wood. The intent of these tasks was to quantify the total...

Long-Term Release of Arsenic, Chromium, and Copper from CCA-Treated Wood and Ash
2005 - IRG/WP 05-50227
In this study, laboratory long-term leaching studies were conducted to characterize the leaching behavior of arsenic, chromium, and copper from CCA-treated wood samples (block, chip, and sawdust) and CCA-wood ash and to determine the rate of release of the metals from the CCA wood products. The leaching solutions were periodically collected and analyzed for the concentrations of arsenic, chromium,...

Assessment of hydrophobic properties of acetylated and furfurylated Korean wood species
2024 - IRG/WP 24-30812
To increase the utilization of Korean wood species, the hydrophobic properties of the most commonly used wood species in Korea were compared according to wood modification. Pinus densiflora (sapwood and heartwood) and Larix kaempferi (heartwood) were selected as test wood species, and Pinus radiata (sapwood) was selected as the control wood species. The wood modification was performed by acetylati...
