Background
CCA-Treated Wood is the most common wood preservative used today (>80% market)
CCA ---> Chromated Copper Arsenate
![Page 6: History of Research Project on CCA-Treated Wood Presented May 6, 2002 Gainesville, Florida](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bf9c1a28abf838c93692/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Background
CCA ---> Chromated Copper ArsenateThe treated wood contains very high concentrations of Cr, Cu, and As
As toxic, known carcinogen
Soil background levels for arsenic in Florida are low
Strict disposal guidelines
![Page 8: History of Research Project on CCA-Treated Wood Presented May 6, 2002 Gainesville, Florida](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bf9c1a28abf838c93692/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why Was this Project Initiated?
High metals concentrations were observed in the ash from wood cogeneration facilities located in Florida

![Page 13: History of Research Project on CCA-Treated Wood Presented May 6, 2002 Gainesville, Florida](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bf9c1a28abf838c93692/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Year 2
Develop Tools for Disposal End Management
Leaching Studies, ash Hazardous when CCA-treated wood represents
5% of wood burned
Solvents can extract metals from ash, citric acid very promising (40 to 100% As removed) ------> Explore Potential Recycling?
![Page 14: History of Research Project on CCA-Treated Wood Presented May 6, 2002 Gainesville, Florida](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bf9c1a28abf838c93692/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Year 2 (continued)
Sorting Studies, Laboratory Chemical stains, low capital cost
labor intensive
X-ray methods, high capital costsuitable for on-line system
Untreated Treated

Year 3
Disposal-End Management
Field Demonstration of Sorting Technologies Stains suitable for sorting small quantities of wood
Evaluation of Pyrolysis Technology Appears promising for ultimate disposal
Resource book for Wood Disposal Sector

Year 3 (Continued) Alternative Chemicals
Four Promising Alternative Chemicals for CCA: ACQ, CBA, CC, CDDC
All standardized for applications requiring 0.25 & 0.4 pcf Comparable to CCA: efficacy
Leach less As but generally more Cu
Cost 10 to 30% more at retail establishment
