Dc. Bull, The chemistry of chromated copper arsenate - I. Characterisation of timbertreatment plant chemical sludge, WOOD SCI TE, 34(5), 2000, pp. 367-376
A selected CCA timber treatment plant chemical sludge was analysed by a var
iety of chemical methods including powder XRD, ICP-OES, XRF, TGA/ DTA, FTIR
, and UVA. Solutions of the material were also reprecipitated by base addit
ion with pH monitoring. A mechanism for sludging could be deduced from the
combined results.
