A study of salt imbalances observed in recycled copper/chrome/arsenic preservative solutions in commercial practice

IRG/WP 3461

V R Sonti, S Sonti, B Chatterjee

The study reported monitored tank solutions, sludge and other by-products using a standard CCA solution, when recycled. This recycling of the CCA solution is quite usual in between any commercial treatment schedules. Salt imbalances were observed and the possible reasons for such phenomena were studied. The paper discusses the procedure followed, the method of sampling the liquid after the charge and the analysis, to arrive finally at an aggregation and conclusion from the data.
