Biological durability of wood and wood-based products - Quantitative determination of pentachlorophenol in wood - Gas chromatographic method

Apstrakt

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.
