Durability of wood and wood-based products - Quantitative determination of pentachlorophenol in wood - Gas chromatographic method
Abstract
This document specifies a laboratory method of determining the pentachlorophenol content of wood. The method is applicable to all types of pentachlorophenol (PCP) in woods and wood- based materials as well as for the analysis of waste timber with respect to its pentachlorophenol (PCP) content. The method described has a measurement range from 250 μg/kg up to pentachlorophenol (PCP) contents of 5 mg/kg of dry matter. These figures refer to the given example (where an aliquot of 1 ml of the extract is used for acetylation, see 9.4). NOTE 1 If lower quantification limits are required, a higher volume of extract aliquot can be used for derivatisation. NOTE 2 This method could have some modifications with some wood species as hardwoods. In general, in the case of complex matrix, a method using mass spectrometry is used.
