Wood treatment by double-diffusion using copper sulfate and sodium fluoride

Creator:

Pavia-Jones, K. Josephine

Abstract:

In investigating wood treatment as a possible processing option for Alaska forest products manufacturers, the double-diffusion method using sodium fluoride followed by a copper sulfate appeared to be the most advantageous approach. Yet, little information was available as to the chemical retention after treating and its resistance to leaching. Green...
