Recycling of impregnated timber: Part 2: Combustion trial

IRG/WP 99-50132

L Lindroos

Totally 270 m3 (61,3 t) of CCA impregnated wood was chipped and incinerated at the combustion plant of Jalasjärvi. After the normal gas cleaning venture scrubbers were tested. After the trial a metal balance was calculated. Ash was treated at the copper smelter of Outokumpu Harjavalta Metals Oy. Condensate waters were transfered to the Outokumpu's CCA production plant and utilized by the manufacturing process. As a conclusion this trial gives very useful data for future tests.
