Abstract

In this study, we attempted to apply ultrasonic treatment for the preservative treatment of two softwood species, Korean pine and Japanese red pines to evaluate its effectiveness. Wood samples were submerged in oilborne preservative, copper naphthenate (NCU) and waterborne preservative, alkyl ammonium compound (AAC) and then treated with ultrasonic wave of 40 kHz, 400 W. After the treatment, the retention and penetration depth of these preservatives in the specimens were measured as a function of treatment time. Both the retention and penetration depth were continuously increased with increasing the treatment time up to 120 hours, where the retention reached about 95% by the application of AAC and the penetrating depth of 95% and 83% by the application of NCU, respectively for both species. The results of electronic microscopic observation showed that the improved retention capacity could be attributed to air deflation, wood extractive deflation working of ultrasonic wavelength, and destruction of wood pits which served as the pathway of preservatives. The results suggested that the use of ultrasonic treatment could be applied to thick wood veneers for the production of laminated wood products.

본 실험에서는 초음파의 특성을 이용하여 목재를 방부처리하고 그 주입효과에 대해 검토하고자 하였다. 유용성 방부제인 NCU (나프텐산 구리)와 수용성 방부제 AAC (알킬암모늄 화합물)에 소나무 및 잣나무 시편을 침지한 후 40 kHz, 400 W 출력의 초음파를 발진시켰다. 초음파처리 이후 시편의 흡수율 및 침윤도는 시간 경과에 따라 지속적으로 증가하여 120시간 경과 후 AAC처리 잣나무, 소나무 모두에 대해 약 95%의 흡수율을 얻을 수 있었으며, 소나무 및 잣나무 각 시편 두께의 95, 83%에 해당하는 NCU의 침윤도를 얻을 수 있었다. 초음파 처리후의 시편을 SEM을 이용해 관찰하였으며, 초음파 발생에 의해 생성된 고온, 고압의 충격파가 목재 내 약액의 주입통로가 되는 벽공구를 파괴하고 초음파의 탈포작용과 목재내 추출물의 배출 등에 기인하여 약액의 주입성능이 향상된 것으로 판단된다. 초음파 처리에 의한 방부제의 주입은 가압방부처리의 적용이 어려운 소재, 단판 등에 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
