Notes:
Recycling of preservative-treated waste wood can be an environmental problem due to toxic elements being emitted into the environment. Pyrolyzing CCA-treated wood at low temperature without any oxidizing agent is applied to capture the arsenic fraction in the solid residue. The influence of well-defined process parameters such as pyrolysis temperature, time and heating rate are studied. Arsenic contents in the gas phase were measured by a wet chemical method while structural analysis of the arsenic reaction products was determined with Transmission Electron Microscopy.
