This study was conducted to evaluate the pressure treatment characteristics of Japanese red pine and Japanese larch skin timber with ACQ-2, CUAZ-2 and CuHDO-1. The effect of moisture content (MC) on preservative treatability was investigated for Japanese red pine sapwood and Japanese larch heartwood, and fixation characteristics of CCA alternatives was also evaluated. Japanese red pine sapwood, which was dried below 30 percent MC, was fully penetrated with preservatives, and minimum requirement of preservative retention for the hazard class H3 was achieved. Through measuring preservative retention gradient in Japanese red pine sapwood, it was confirmed that the retention gradient of CuHDO-1 was steeper than that of both ACQ-2 and CUAZ-2. In particular, it was intensified at a higher MCs of wood samples (25∼30%). Japanese larch heartwood did not meet the minimum requirement of penetration and retention for the hazard class H3 over the range of pretreatment MCs tested. With presteaming under $121^{\circ}C$ for 12 hours, the treatability of Japanese larch heartwood was enhanced to meet the minimum requirement for the hazard class H3. The fixation rate of copper was much more faster under drying condition compared with nondrying condition; more than 95% of copper were fixed in 3~6 days and 1 day under drying conditions in Japanese red pine sapwood and Japanese larch heartwood, respectively. After 3-week fixation period at ambient temperature, the amount of mobile copper in treated wood sample that remains available for leaching from treated wood was the highest in the wood samples treated with ACQ-2, followed by CuHDO-1 and CUAZ-2. It was proportional to the amount of copper in treating solution.

Water glass is much cheaper than silicon alkoxide, so it has advantage for commercialization. A condensation by acid catalyst makes considerable effect about the properties of water glass based silica aerogel among many factors in silica aerogel process. The pore structural properties of water glass based silica aerogel such as specific surface area and pore size distribution have been investigated through the changes in the amount and the kinds of acid catalyst. It has been confirmed that water glass based silica aerogel is affected by various conditions of catalyst in the condensation reaction such as the kind, concentration, and the amount of mole of acid catalyst on the properties of final products. Especially, it is checked that the effect of mole of acid is more prominent than that of concentration. In the case for conventional method with introducing 4M HCl in condensation step, the silica aerogel could be synthesized which has $394m^2/g$ of specific surface area, 2.20 cc/g of pore volume, 22.3 nm of average pore size, and 92.53% of porosity. On the other hand, when 4M sulfuric acid was used with 73 mmol at the condensation step of water glass based silica aerogel, the pore structural characteristics of water based silica aerogel showed better properties than the case of using HCl, for example, specific surface area was measured as $516m^2/g$, and pore volume, average pore diameter, and porosity were obtained as 3.10 cc/g, 24.1 nm, and 96.1%, respectively.
