REDUCED VOLATILITY OF A HALOGENATED PHENOL IN WOOD

摘要

The amount of vapor of a halogenated phenol released by wood treated with the halogenated phenol is reduced by contacting the treated wood with an organic compound having cationic groups capable of forming a water-insoluble halogenated phenoxide salt, e.g., contacting pentachlorophenol treated wood with a quaternary ammonium such as didecyldimethylammonium chloride significantly reduces the release of pentachlorophenol vapors from the wood. 29, 279-F
