Handling of impregnated waste wood and characterization of ash residues after combustion of the wood

In the next ten years the amounts of waste wood impregnated with Cu, Cr and As (CCA) is expected to increase dramatically world wide. CCA has been widely used for wood preservation since the early 1950s and because the fixation of CCA in the wood is good, the concentration of CCA is still high, when the wood is at the end of service. In some countries e.g. Denmark and Norway, the use of As for ...

Wood Char Depth: Interpretation in Fire Investigations

INTRODUCTION Wood char depth patterns have been considered important by fire investigators in most countries where significant use is made of wood as a construction material. This is natural, since post-fire patterns found on wood members are generally more pronounced and extensive than those found on many other construction materials. But the present state of affairs has been such that there i...

Organic compounds in biomass smoke from residential wood combustion: Emissions characterization at a continental scale

[1] Wood smoke in the atmosphere often accounts for 20–30% of the ambient fineparticle concentrations. In communities where wood is burned for home heating, wood smoke can at times contribute the majority of the atmospheric fine-particle burden. Chemical mass balance receptor models that use organic compounds as tracers can be used to determine the contributions of different emission sources, i...
