Abstract
The adsorption of copper, [as Cu(II)], monoethanolamine (MEA) and didecyldimethyl ammonium chloride (DDAC) components of CuMEA and alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ) solutions impregnated into wood was followed by measuring the changes in solution concentrations in the wood over time. The rate and extent of copper and MEA adsorption were highly dependent on the solution strength and the conditioning temperature. Both copper and MEA were adsorbed by the wood structure with a rapid initial reaction, with higher relative amounts sorbed from lower concentration solutions. This was followed by a slower adsorption that still had not equilibrated after 7 weeks at 22°C. Generally, the adsorption pattern was similar for copper and MEA, suggesting that they were adsorbed as a copper MEA complex, with an MEA/copper molar ratio close to the theoretical maximum of 4. At a higher conditioning temperature of 50°C the reaction time was greatly reduced, with the adsorption after 1 week higher than after 7 weeks at 22°C, suggesting faster and more complete reaction at higher temperatures. DDAC was adsorbed more quickly and to a higher degree than Cu(II) for all treatment solutions and should be preferentially removed from such solutions, especially if empty-cell treatments are used. There appeared to be higher Cu adsorption from the higher concentration solutions of CuMEA than from corresponding ACQ solutions, likely due to DDAC competition with copper for the same reaction sites.
