Detection of Inorganic Wood Preservatives on Timber by near Infrared Spectroscopy

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

The recycling of waste wood causes great problems due to the variety of toxic wood preservatives, varnishes and paints used. The fast and reliable distinction and sorting of treated and untreated wood on demolition sites could open new ways of wood recycling, e. g. for the production of chip boards. For this purpose, prepared wood samples treated with inorganic wood preservatives (arsenic, boron, copper salts) were investigated by near infrared-spectroscopy. In most cases, treated wood samples could be distinguished from untreated ones. Furthermore the type of wood preservative could be identified. The observed spectral features are electronic absorption bands and changes in the OH–band due to interaction with salt molecules.
