Abstract
The using amount of preservative-treated wood equipments has been increased. Specially, chromate copper arsenate (CCA) has been widely used to exterior wood. We are faced to the disposal problem after service period of CCA treated wood due to its toxic heavy metals. For the disposal of end-used treated wood, land-filling and incinerating methods are mainly applied. The essential problem of incinerating is an arsenic release into atmosphere. Low pyrolysis is suggested as the methods of protecting arsenic release during incineration. The heavy metals were recovered after combustion of the treated wood at the low temperature which arsenic can not released. The recovery amounts of effectiveness compounds was determined in various solvents (citric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, phosphoric acid) and different temperature (300, 400, $500^{\circ}C$). The higher temperature was applied, the more copper was recovered. The chromium was difficult to be recovered on the carbonized CCA treated wood at 0.5% acid concentration. The recovery mass of arsenic decreased on the higher combustion treated wood. The recovery of chromium was difficult due to the chemical change of the chromium arsenate during pyrolysis.
