Methods of analysis of wood preservatives and treated timber. Determination of carboxylic acid type in zinc and copper carboxylate preservative solutions by gas chromatography
This part of DD 257 describes a method for the qualitative identification of carboxylic acids in wood
preservative solutions containing zinc and copper carboxylates. It gives two gas chromatographic options:
one using a capillary column and one using a packed column.
It is applicable primarily to the analysis of preservative formulations conforming to BS 5707.
