  2. Residential use of CCA-Treated wood has resulted in substantial increasing consumption in recent years

  3. Year Volume of CCA-treated lumber (Million ft3) CCA consumed (Million punds) 1997 468 155 1990 359 147 1985 268 120 1980 90 36 1978 49 25 Table 1. Production trends in CCA-treated lumber in the United States. * *: Chemical Economics Handbook by SRI, Wood Preservatives, March 2000.

  4. Talking Points • Disposal problem • Recycling • Value-added products • Closed-loop recycling

  5. The Present • It has been estimated that about 5 million tons of spent preservative treated wood is disposed of annually into landfills in the United States (Falk 1997), and most of this was treated with CCA (Cooper 1993; Micklewright 1994).

  6. The Future • Cooper (1993) estimated that the future volumes of CCA-treated wood removed from service in the United States would rise from 1 million m3 in 1990 to 16 million m3 in 2020. • 300 metric tons of CCA-treated wood waste disposed in FL in 1996 … and will reach 2700 metric tons by 2016 (Solo-Gabriele and Townsend 1999)

  7. Present situation of treated wood recycling and CCA removal • Direct recycling for composite manufacturing • Incineration • Land-filling • Solvent extraction • Biological remediation • Closed-Loop Recycling System

  8. Closed loop recycling system Spent preservative-treated wood Reformation By products Liquefied wood Composite products (Poles & Panel Products) CCA-Free biomass materials Recovered CCA

  9. Experimental procedure Stirring (150-200oC, 60-120 min) CCA-wood PEG/glycerin acid Liquefied wood Mixing with acetone/water coagulant/precipitant (FeSO4/ Ca(OH)2) Filtration or centrifugation IPC analysis

  11. As As As Removalrate of CCA (%) Cr Cr Cr Cu Cu Cu FeSO4 (2.5%) FeCl2 (2.1%) H3PO4 (3.4%) Comparison of removal rates obtained from various complexing agents(Complexing in situ, Ca(OH)2, 5.94%)

  12. (3.96%) (7.92%) (3.56%) (5.94%) (1.98%) (2.77%) (0%) Effect of pH on the removal rates of CCA. (Complexing in situ, FeSO4, 2.5%)

  13. Conclusions and Remarks • Spent CCA-treated wood had a liquefaction reaction rate similar to the untreated wood • The amount of sulfuric acid has little effect on the removal rate • The presence of ferrous ions or phosphoric acid in the liquefaction enhances the removal of the heavy metal ions • The optimum FeSO4 dosage for maximum CCA removal is between 2.0 to 2.5% • The CCA removal rate increases substantially as the amount of Ca(OH)2 increased from 1.98% to 5.94% or as pH increased from 2.3 to 9.0. thereafter further increases in either Ca(OH)2 or pH yielded slightly lower CCA removal ratio. • On average, the Cu, Cr, and As were removed by 99.8%, 99.3%, and 98.9% respectively by this approach.
