Release of arsenic during the carbonisation of CCA-treated wood on a laboratory and pilot scale

The release of arsenic during pyrolysis of CCA(chromated copper arsenate)-treated wood starts at a temperature below 327 °C, but up to 600 °C only 30-40% of the arsenic initially present in the wood is volatilised. The changes of heating rate, wood moisture, degree of the comminution and methods of...
