Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a mineralized wood.
  • the invention relates to mineralized wood and wooden material suitable for indoor and outdoor use and methods for making such materials.
  • Various attempts have been heretofore madeto protect wood, wooden material and other cellulosic material against fungi and to improve its fire resistance/reaction to fire. Many of the methods developed were either too costly to be economically feasible or not environmentally safe.
  • wood preservatives have to meet certain requirements. They have to be efficient against the target organism and the active agents need to be fixed and stabilized in the wood in order to avoid a leaching and evaporation.
  • the ecological impact needs to be as small as possible and its effect should not be a risk for the environment and humans.
  • the known products can be divided into three groups: i) water based salts, ii) solvent based formulations, and iii) creosotes.
  • water solved metal salts are not stable in wood and are therefore only used for indoor applications. Apart from some essential additives they consist of 80-100% of the active agent. They are easily washed out and already after one rain fall, the whole effect of the substance can be lost if the application was done by brushing or dipping.
  • the main substances are fluoride, silicate or borate.
  • the different salt formulations can further be differentiated by the solubility and penetration behavior.
  • chrome salt formulations For outdoor uses the above mentioned salt formulations need to be fixed with chrome. Within 4-6 weeks after the application chrome salts react with certain wood components. Thereby leaching can be significantly reduced.
  • the fixation of chrome salts in wood is based on the reduction of chrome (VI) to chrome (III). With chrome (III) the fluorine or copper salts react to insoluble chemical combinations and become very weather resistant. Parallel to the fixation of the salts the color of the wood changes as well from yellow-orange to olive-green.
  • the chrome functions mainly as fixing agent. Certain chrome compounds (chrome (VI), for example zinc chromate) are very toxic to animals and humans.
  • salt formulations provide additional protection against soft rot.
  • These salts can be used for impregnation of wood in very wet conditions and in soil contact.
  • the expected rates of leaching for copper-chrome combinations are about 5%.
  • Common water soluble metal salts are: Chrome-fluoride-salts, Chrome-fluoride-boron-salts, Chrome-copper-salts, Chrome-copper-boron salts and Chrome-copper-fluoride salts.
  • creosotes are restricted to special applications.
  • Railway sleepers represent the main field for impregnation with creosotes.
  • the efficiency of the creosotes depends on their composition. Products with high concentrations of polycyclic aromatic compounds with 4-6 rings show the best efficiency.
  • a coating of creosote treated wood is not possible. Depending on certain circumstances creosotes can migrate and pollute the surface. Creosote impregnated parts need to be treated as hazardous waste after their lifetime.
  • Solvent based preservative formulations are used for indoor and outdoor applications with no ground contact.
  • the common fields of application are usually class of utilization 1 - 3 (regarding EN 335, for example class 3 windows and doors).
  • the basic components are organic solvents, biocide active substances, binders and pigments. These products are mainly water stable and cannot be leached out but they do not show the necessary performance in earth contact.
  • the concentration of the active substances is normally between 0.5 - 5 % because they are highly efficient.
  • the active agents in solvent based preservatives belong to the same groups like the biocide agents in herbicides, but they differ in certain points significantly.
  • a treatment with these substances results in delayed ignition, reduced heat release rate and slower spread of flames. They act on different levels, most of the time combined: promotion of char formation at lower temperature than wood usually degrades, free-radicals trapping in the flame, dilution of combustible gases coming from wood with non-combustible gases, reduction of heat content of the volatile gases, or coating protection of the wood surface.
  • the most commonly used fire retardants for wood products are inorganic salts, of which some can absorb moisture promoting decay and destruction of metal joints. Because these salts are typically water soluble and easily leached out of wood, water-insoluble organic fire retardants have been developed, which are mainly based on amino resin systems polymerized after impregnation into wood.
  • fire retardants despite reducing the combustion potential of wood, can also unfavorably affect following properties of wood: mechanical strength, hygroscopicity, stability, toxicity, adhesive and mechanical properties, and receptivity to coatings. Moreover, they are used in relatively large doses, which impacts the cost of the structure. The smoke emissions, together with carbon monoxide increased concentration during fire might happen as well, as it is the case with the widely used monoammonium phosphate. Intumescent coatings are easier to apply and less costly but their susceptibility to cracks, abrasion and wear results in the loss of efficiency.
  • EP2937193A1 discloses a method for mineralising wood to improve its fire resitance comprising impregnating the wood with a first solution of a first metal salt, followed by impregnation with a second solution of a second salt.
  • the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for protecting wood and wooden material by mineralization. Due to the novel mineralization method, the water soluble reactants penetrate the material stepwise and water insoluble salts, preferably in crystalline form, are generated in situ within the cells themselves, in the cell walls, in the pits and in the middle lamellas.
  • a further purpose of this invention is to provide mineralized products, i.e. wood, wooden material, in such a way as to allow their intended functions while also providing one or more of the following properties or functions: i) protection against fungi, ii) improving their biological resistance, iii) improving moisture and weather resistance, iv) reducing flammability, v) improved fire resistance.
  • the purpose of this invention is to provide an improved method for mineralization of wood and wooden material, for example materials containing wood, such as windows, tables and doors, the method comprising: i) a first impregnation step, comprising a first impregnation of wood or wooden material with an aqueous solution of potassium oxalate, ii) a first drying step, comprising drying of the of wood or wooden material iii) a second impregnation step, comprising a second impregnation of wood or wooden material with an aqueous solution of calcium chloride and iv) a second drying step, comprising drying of the wood or wooden material.
  • the concentration of potassium oxalate dissolved in the solution is 100% of their saturation concentration.
  • the concentration of calcium chloride dissolved in the solution may be 100% of its saturation concentration.
  • the first and/or the second impregnation comprises a phase of overpressure during which the pressure is selected in the range of 5 - 10x10 5 Pa (5-10 bar) and the temperature in the range of 15 to 50°C.
  • the duration of the phase of overpressure in the first and/or the second impregnation step is ⁇ 1 hour, typically 1-24 h, preferably 4-8 h .
  • the first and/or the second impregnation is preceded by a vacuum phase, during which the wood or wooden material is exposed to underpressure, preferably for 30 minutes at 40 to 60 °C and preferably to an underpressure of 1 - 3x10 4 Pa (100-300 mbar).
  • the wood or wooden material is dried above the fiber saturation level of 28-35%, preferably 30% in the first drying step.
  • a fiber saturation level of 100% is the point in the drying process at which only water bound in the cell walls remains and all other water having been removed from the cell cavities.
  • the first drying step comprises preferably a vacuum phase, during which the wood or wooden material is exposed to underpressure, preferably for 30 minutes at 40 to 60 °C and preferably at an underpressure of 1 - 3x10 4 Pa (100-300 mbar).
  • the wood or wooden material is dried to a wood moisture, preferably a wood moisture of 12 to 16% in the second drying step.
  • the wood moisture is calculated by the formula (m s -m d )/m d *100, wherein m s is the mass of the sample and m d is the mass of the sample after drying in an oven at 103 °C until mass constancy.
  • Wood or wooden material which is mineralized in a method according to the present invention is characterized in that calcium oxalate of low or no solubility in water is deposited in the wood or wooden material, preferably in crystalline form.
  • the untreated wood or wooden material gains 40 - 50 %, by mineralization with calcium oxalate.
  • the mineralization with calcium oxalate is based on two impregnation steps.
  • the material is impregnated in an aqueous solution with potassium oxalate C 2 O 4 K 2 .
  • the material is dried and then impregnated with calcium chloride CaCl 2 (cation).
  • the potassium oxalate already present as anion in the material to be mineralized and the calcium chloride form calcium oxalate ⁇ C 2 O 4 Ca ⁇ solid , preferably in crystalline form, which is practically not soluble in water, and KCl.
  • the molar ratio between both reactive compounds is 1:1.
  • a solution of equimolar content is prepared.
  • the molecular weight of C 2 O 4 K 2 ⁇ H 2 O is 184.23 g/mol, the water solubility 38.7 g/100g H 2 O.
  • the molecular weight of CaCl 2 ⁇ 6H 2 O is 219.08 g/mol, the water solubility 81.3 g/100g H 2 O.
  • 387 g potassium oxalate is dissolved per 1L H 2 O and 460 g calcium chloride per 1L H 2 O.
  • Calcium chloride is an ionic halide in solid state at room temperature.
  • CaCl 2 is a hygroscopic compound and forms solutions in water dissociating in calcium and chloride ions. It can be commercially found in pure state, but more commonly as hydrated compound for example as mentioned above as CaCl 2 ⁇ 6H 2 O, or as CaCl 2 ⁇ 4H 2 O, CaCl 2 ⁇ 2H 2 O or CaCl 2 ⁇ H 2 O. Properties will evidently depend on its hydration degree. For the tests performed CaCl 2 ⁇ 6H 2 O was employed.
  • Potassium oxalate is a salt of oxalic acid. Its appearance is that of transparent and colorless crystals. In aqueous solutions it can dissociate to form oxalate and potassium ions. Oxalate ions can be combined with calcium, magnesium, and iron ions to form less water-soluble or insoluble salts. Potassium oxalate is commercially available as anhydrous and monohydrate salt. In the current experiments, the monohydrate (C 2 O 4 K 2 ⁇ H 2 O) was used. Once the oxalate anion has reacted with the cation from the calcium chloride solution it forms an insoluble salt (C 2 O 4 Ca) that is retained in wood, providing the protection effect.
  • Wood Wood, wooden material.
  • Two wood species commonly used in construction are beech (Fagus sylvatica) and pine (Pinus sylvestris). They are representative species of European hardwood and softwood and grow in important volume in Switzerland and other central European countries. Furthermore, they are listed as suggested species in the norm EN 113, for biological tests of impregnated wood. These two wood species were used in the experiments described below.
  • Beech (Fagus sylvatica) is a hardwood belonging to the division of angiosperms. As it is characteristic for hardwoods, beech is composed by vessel elements, fibers (tracheids), parenchyma and ray cells. Vessels are arranged in a non-specific pattern, resulting in a semi-porous to diffuse porous distribution. Growth ring limits are demarked by dark colored late wood. Density varies from 0.48 - 0.68 - 0.88 g/cm 3 .
  • Pine (Pinus sylvestris) is a softwood belonging to the division of conifers. Pine is mainly composed by tracheids, as is characteristic for softwoods and has well differentiated thick walls in late wood and thin walls in early wood. Density varies from 0.3 - 0.49 - 0.86 g/cm 3 (in the early zone).
  • wood preferably used in the method according to the invention are: silver fir, maple, cotton wood and alder.
  • Wood which fulfils the requirements for wood according to the norm EN 113 is preferably used and mineralized in the method according to the present invention.
  • the main requirements of the norm EN 113 are:
  • the biological tests were done on the basis of the European Standard EN 113 (European Standard, 1996) with some modifications in order to allow accelerated tests. Two series of biological tests have been carried out in order to evaluate the resistance of the mineralized woods, wooden materials and other cellulosic materials against fungi and biological degradation.
  • Fungi used in the tests were Coniophora tenuna, Coriolus versicolore and Poria placenta.
  • samples were prepared in several different ways. For each mineralization type, samples were boiled or simply humidified on the surface. With this approach it was possible to estimate stability against leaching. The cutting was done with a sliding microtome and single use knifes. To understand the changes due to the impregnation procedure and due to the degradation by fungi, reference samples were prepared as well.
  • the weight loss percentages of mineralized samples was determined after attack with different fungi according to EN 113 and before leaching.
  • the fire tests were performed according to EN ISO 11925-2.
