Verschiedene Labor- und Freilandstudien zeigen, dass Antrodia vaillantii ein Braunfäuleerreger ist, der chemisch geschütztes Holz (gemäss den Anforderungen der Gefährdungsklasse 4) stark abbauen kann. Hierbei spielt die erhöhte Oxalsäureproduktion des Pilzes und die daraus resultierende Kupferoxalatausfällung im Holz die entscheidende Rolle. Das Kupfer wird auf diese Weise für den Pilz weitgehend unschädlich gemacht und andere Holzschutzmittelbestandteile wie z.B. Chrom- und Arsenverbindungen verlieren ihre Fixierung im Holz und werden wasserlöslich. Dies führt zu Frühausfällen von chemisch geschütztem Holz im Erdkontakt innerhalb weniger Jahre. Laboruntersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass der Holzabbau durch A. vaillantii bei hoher Wasserverfügbarkeit außerhalb des Holzes angeregt werden kann. Das hohe Feuchtigkeitsbedürfnis des Pilzes ist möglicherweise die Ursache für den Befall von Holz in bis zu 1,2 m Bodentiefe. Neben der hohen Bodenfeuchte gibt es Anhaltspunkte für weitere Parameter, die zur positiven Selektion von A. vaillantii und damit seiner stellenweise starken Ausbreitung führen. Diese sind hohe Toleranz gegenüber bereits vorhandenen niedrigen pH-Werten im Boden, das aktive Einstellen niedriger pH-Werte im Boden durch Säureabgabe und die Festlegung von Kuper als Kupferoxalat.
Most research in the last few decades has focused on the development of new strategies to control biological attack and the means to quantify this. Comparatively little work has been done to examine the effect that treated timber might have on its surrounding environment. This presentation will describe a methodology that attempts to detect any changes which might occur in the soil microflora following the introduction of timber treated with a number of chemical agents containing organic active ingredients (a.i.). It was also the purpose to isolate organisms that can break down organic a.i.. A technique was developed to determine whether the presence and nature of a timber preservative influenced the size and composition of a microbial population that colonised timber when buried in soil. Samples of treated timber were incubated in a solution eluted from soil that contained a diverse, viable microbial population. After incubation, the size and composition of the microflora both in the eluate and adhering to the timber was examined.
The paper descibes a novel method to detoxify pine wood (Pinus silvestris L.) treated with CCB-, CCF- CC-, and Cu-HDO-type salt preservatives. In the process of biological detoxification organic acids produced by strains of Antrodia vaillantii and other brown rot fungi are used for the dissolution of the previously fixed inorganic compounds. These findings are the basis for applying an acid pulping process (FORMACELL) developed by Nimz and Schone (1992) at the BFH, Hamburg, to detoxify salt impregnated wood waste with a mixture of acetic and formic acid. First results achieved with wood chips from treated poles after approximately 20 years of service life show that the obtained pulp contains less than 100 ppm of Cr and Cu. The pulp properties were neither influenced by the Cr and Cu ions nor by the age of the poles. The extracted quantities of Cr and Cu remain with the lignin whereas the acids are evaporated and recycled in the pulping process.
Efficacy Testing of PT8
(2011)
Decay resistance of pine sapwood treated with titanium alkoxide solutions was tested against the brown-rot fungi Coniophora puteana and Poria placenta for exposure times of 10 and 16 wk. In practice, wood-specimens were vacuum-impregnated by alcoholic solutions of titanium alkoxide with concentrations in the range of 5–16 mass % (solid content in solution) and subsequently cured under different humidity conditions. Results reveal that treated wood degraded up to 5% in comparison to untreated one that deteriorated 38% and 50%, respectively against both wood-decay fungi. Even full protection (mass loss below 3%) was achieved against brown rot with titanium alkoxide solution containing solid content of around 5 mass% with a weight percentage gain (WPG) of 9 mass%. With increased concentration, fungal resistance decreased slightly which was associated with more cracks and imperfections formed in the deposited layers of titanium dioxide in the adjacent wood matrix. Thermal analysis verified that a considerable amount of precursor remained in the wood structure as un-hydrolyzed organic residues. These organics, being bioactive, had the tendency to induce similar fungicidal effects as those of conventional fungicides. The amount of organic residues is correlated with the decay resistance of the tested samples. In a prolonged decay test, mass losses of 16-wk incubated samples do not show behavior different from that of the wood samples incubated for 10 wk. This result implies that the decay protection is permanent and confirms further the fungicidal activity of titanium-alkoxide-treated wood.
Material performance testing of wood-plastic composites (WPC) requires adequate and time-efficient evaluation of the resistance against fungal colonisation and decay. This study investigates the effects of weathering on WPCs and subsequent material degradation by fungi. Weathering using UV radiation, water spray and repeated frost incidents caused micro- and macro-cracks. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) demonstrated delignification of wood particles at the weathered WPC surface. Despite of increased surface area, accessibility for fungal hyphae and moisture content, weathering enhanced mass loss due to fungal decay only subtly but not significantly. These potentially enhancing effects for fungal decay are assumed to be outbalanced by delignification due to photo-oxidation and leaching of degradation products resulting in loss of nutrient sources essential for fungal growth.
The fungus cellar test is a common means to get reliable data on the long term performance of treated wood in soil contact. A constantly high humidity and a suitable of water holding capacity for a range of micro-organisms provide high decay rates in untreated wood and produce intensive microbial pressures on wood treated with biocides. Presently a range of biocides are under test in the BAM fungus cellar and the results will be presented for the following types of biocides: Tebuconazole in combination with copper and boron (5 years fungus cellar), quats with copper and boron (5 years fungus cellar) and Cu-organic compound combined with copper and boron (3 years fungus cellar). Figures will be shown on the development of the Modulus of Elasticity (MOE) over the years and on an assessment of the stakes according to EN 252.
Environmental Risk Assessment of Treated Timber in Service - the Environment Focus Group Approach
(2000)
In the context of the Biocidal Products Directive (98/8/EC), and of the OECD work on wood preservatives, the Environment Focus Group (EFG), comprising 8 institutes and the European Wood Preservative Manufacturers Group, has been working on the environmental risk assessment of treated timber in service. A literature review of emissions from treated timber has revealed that very little existing data is usable for environmental risk assessment; the most relevant data are kinetic curves of emissions over time, which show clearly the non-linear emissions behaviour of treated wood over time. The EFG has suggested real exposure conditions for treated timber in the environment, and listed typical exposure scenarios. Five representative scenarios are characterised in detail, for use in the calculation of Predicted Environmental Concentrations (PECs). The existing methods to determine emissions from treated wood have been reviewed. Most existing experimental models cannot be used to predict environmental emissions. Monitoring of commodities in service has its specific constraints. Chemical analysis and ecotoxicity testing have also been reviewed and their relationship has been discussed. Principles for the design of experimental models, for the determination of emission fluxes from treated wood to the environment, have been established.
