Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for treating calcium borate ores to obtain useful boron-containing compounds.
- the invention also relates to the use of the resulting boron-containing compounds in the treatment of wood and other related wood-based products to protect such products against fungal attack, and against attack by subterranean termites and wood-boring insects such as powder-post beetles and carpenter ants.
- the invention further relates to the use of the boron-containing compounds to improve the flame retardancy of wood and wood products. Still further, the invention relates to the boron-containing compounds prepared by the inventive method for treating calcium borates.
- wood and other cellulose products such as plywood and oriented strand board (OSB)
- OSB plywood and oriented strand board
- wood and other cellulose products are exposed to a wide range of weather and environmental conditions.
- fungi and/or they may become prey to various boring or wood-eating insects.
- fire Such exposure to fungi and insects hastens the degradation of the products. Exposure to fire or flames increases the risk of loss of life and property.
- Methods and compositions for treating wood and cellulose products to provide at least some protection against such conditions are known in the art.
- cellulose products are treated with a composition comprising sodium sulfate and ammonium pentaborate.
- This composition is generally obtained as a result of the reaction between sodium borates (borax) and ammonium sulfate in water.
- ammonium pentaborate is soluble in water. Therefore, the composition gradually leaches out of the treated wood or cellulose upon repeated exposure to outdoor moisture, such as rain. Attempts have been made to minimize the leaching of the ammonium pentaborate by adding soluble calcium salts to the sodium sulfate/ammonium pentaborate composition, to obtain a second set of reaction products that is less prone to leaching out of the wood or wood products.
- results with the calcium salts have met with only limited success, as the post-addition of the calcium salts to the sodium sulfate/ammonium pentaborate composition generates insoluble calcium compounds and/or calcium borates, causing those insoluble products to precipitate out of the solution before application.
- the above-described process can remove both calcium and borates from the composition to be applied to the wood, thereby decreasing the effectiveness of the composition.
- a second set of reaction conditions would be required (secondary application to treated wood), thereby necessitating an additional treatment step to produce the desired products.
- Panusch, et al. This patent discloses a process for producing flame-retardant cellulosic board, comprising treating the board with a "synergistically acting" composition consisting of alumina hydrate and ulexite.
- the combination requires loadings for flame retardation at high levels that sometimes interfered with the board properties.
- the present invention utilizes naturally-occurring calcium borate ores that are extremely insoluble in water, and produces a compound or compounds that are soluble in water, thereby facilitating the preparation of the treatment solution, and the resulting application of the solution to the wood.
- the treated wood shows dramatic resistance to leaching by water after treatment and drying.
- the invention advantageously utilizes the naturally bound calcium of the calcium borate ores to provide the increased resistance to leaching without the need of any post-treatment after the initial application.
- the calcium compound or compounds that are produced are placed in solution, and thereafter remain in solution.
- the compound or compounds so produced are apparently just as stable in solution as other borates similarly made from water-soluble sodium borates. Upon cold precipitation, the compounds may be reintroduced into solution upon heating.
- colemanite is a borate ore, it is chemically considered as a carbonate.
- the typical carbonate reaction of profuse foaming is produced. This foaming effectively cools the reaction, and makes contact between the acid and the colemanite much more difficult.
- colemanite ore includes calcite. When contacted with an acid, calcite produces the typical acid/carbonate reaction. This reaction produces carbon dioxide gas, which in turn makes the foam: Acid + CaC0 3 ⁇ CO 2 t + H 2 0 + Ca +2 + acid salt
- oxalic and malonic acids all have pKa values less than that of acetic acid, and therefore, are stronger acids than acetic acid.
- diluted acids may be utilized, chemical literature suggests that the activity, or the level of dissociation of acetic acid, substantially decreases with dilution of the acid, thereby reducing the apparent reactivity. Thus, the use of diluted acids typically lengthens the reaction time.
- the use of combined portions of the ingredients also minimizes any adverse effects on the reaction that may be caused by other inorganic metals that are naturally present in the ore, such as magnesium, aluminum, iron and celestite (SrC0 3 ), calcite (CaC0 3 ), and silica.
- These inorganic metals may react with acetic acid to form water- soluble acetates, thereby reducing the amount of acid available to react with the colemanite portion of the ore. Reacting previously combined mixtures of colemanite and acetic acid is more effective, and improves the efficiency of the reaction.
- the solution has high solids content, more surfactant is generally required, since solutions having higher sohds content have a greater surface tension.
- the surfactant lowers the surface tension, thereby permitting the solution and solids to disperse into the cellulose, which is naturally hydrophobic.
- a surfactant is employed, it is added to the reaction solution at the end of the formulation process.
- the resulting solution containing the dissolved boron salts has an apparent B.A.E. (boric acid equivalent), which is based upon the amount of dissolved boron in the solution.
- the B.A.E. of the solution is substantially controlled by two variables, namely the quantity of the calcium borate ore (the source of the boron) used in the reaction, and the final volume of the solution.
- Examples 1-7 illustrate methods for preparing the inventive composition.
- the methods described in these examples are illustrative only, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any manner.
- the calcium borate ore used was colemanite.
- the colemanite ore used in Examples 1 , 2 and 7 originated from Turkey, while the colemanite used in Examples 3-6 originated from the United States of America.
- Colemanite ore obtained from different sources will normally differ somewhat in purity. Therefore, the actual amount of boron and calcium present in a particular amount of colemanite, e.g., 1 kg, obtained from one source will differ somewhat from the amount present in 1 kg obtained from another source.
- a colemanite ore sample can be assayed in order to determine the amount of boron and calcium present in the particular sample.
- a 2 liter beaker containing 500 ml of tap water was placed upon a combination stirrer/hot plate. Moderate to slow stirring was initiated, and 250 grams of granulated Turkish colemanite (200 mesh or less) was stirred into the water. After all colemanite had been added, the stirring was increased as needed, and was continued until it was apparent that all of the colemanite was thoroughly mixed and wet. 150 ml glacial acetic acid was slowly added to the water/colemanite mixture in increments of about 25-30 ml, as in the previous example. The stirring was continual, and no additional acid was added after each incremental addition until the foaming from the previous increment had subsided. The resulting mixture was heated, with stirring, to about 80° C.
- the final volume was 1350 ml.
- the final volume was 1090 ml.
- the percentage of boron in the filtrate was 1.94% , which corresponds to a percent boron per liter of solution of 2.12 % .
- the percentage of calcium in the filtrate was 3.15 % , which corresponds to a percent calcium per liter of solution of 3.45% .
- the B.A.E. percentage (per liter) was 12.14% .
- Example 3 The same conditions were used as in Example 3 , except that the digest time was changed to 2 hours at 80° C .
- the filtrate pH before the addition of the ammonium hydroxide was 4.72. After washing the filter cake, 98.1 gm of residue was discarded. 70 ml of ammonium hydroxide was required to achieve a pH of 6.4. The final volume was 1165 ml.
- Example 3 The same process was followed as in Example 3 , except that an oxidant, hydrogen peroxide, was added to the reaction mixture.
- an oxidant hydrogen peroxide
- one mole (115 ml) of hydrogen peroxide (30%) was added along with the 150 ml of acetic acid.
- the foaming during digestion was longer in duration, and the mixture turned a yellow-brown color.
- the combined filtrate had a pH of 4.5.
- the collected residue measured 67.2 gm. It required 75 ml of 28 % ammonium hydroxide to achieve the final pH of 6.25 at 70° C.
- the final volume was 1310 ml.
- Example 5 The same process was followed as in Example 5 , except that only 0.44 moles (50 ml) of hydrogen peroxide (30%) was used. After 1 hour of acidic digestion, the filtrate pH measured 4.56. It required only 65 ml of 28 % ammonium hydroxide to attain a pH of 6.30. The final volume was 1210 ml, and the color was pale yellow. The weight of the residue was about 80 grams.
- Example 3 A procedure similar to that in Example 3 was followed, except that the 150 ml of glacial acetic acid was replaced with 120 ml of 90% formic acid. In this case, the mixture does not foam as much as in the previous examples, Rather, it appeared to have an effervescent activity. The foam generated was less dense than in the previous examples, but the foam that was generated persisted up to temperatures of about 80° C.
- the acidic filtrate had a pH of about 4.13.
- the pH was still only 5.83, but the solution was becoming unstable as indicated by the presence of an extremely fine flocculent precipitate which would not dissipate with the continued stirring or heating.
- the solution was filtered resulting in a final volume of 1310 ml, and a pH of 5.83.
- the collected residue from washing the filter cake was only 30.2 gm.
- Examples 8 and 9 investigated the ability of treated substrates to resist leaching of the composition.
- Example 10 investigated the ability of treated substrates to retard flames.
- Example 11 investigated the ability of treated substrates to resist subterranean termites.
- Example 12 investigated the ability of treated substrates to resist fungal growth.
- the test solutions utilized in Examples 8- 12 were prepared in accordance with the general process described in Example 1 , with the exception that a surfactant was added at the end of the formulation process. In these examples, approximately 10 ml of the amphoteric surfactant Mirataine JC-MA, available from Rhone-Poulenc was added per liter to the inventive solution, to provide a concentration of about 0.8 % of the surfactant.
- Southern yellow pine blocks were utilized as the substrate.
- Five gallons (18.93 liters) of the inventive solution were prepared using 5 pounds (2.27 kg) of colemanite having a target B.A.E. of 8.9% .
- the actual B.A.E. of the conditioned blocks prior to leaching was 1.7% .
- the objective of the test was to determine the % B.A.E. remaining in the pine blocks after they had been treated with the inventive solution and exposed to leaching in deionized water.
- the pine blocks were impregnated according to AWPA Standard El l- 87, titled Standard Methods of Determining the Leachability of Wood Preservatives. This publication, as well as the remaining technical publications cited herein, are incorporated by reference.
- the AWPA Standards are standard procedures promulgated by and under the jurisdiction of the American Wood Preservers' Association. AWPA standard methods are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art of wood preservation, and further details of the published methods are readily available.
- the test method includes the conditioning of the blocks, followed by treatment of the blocks with the test solution. In the conditioning step, 3 A inch (1.9 cm 3 ) cubes of southern yellow pine sapwood were first conditioned at about 23 ⁇ 0.5° C. and 50 + 2% relative humidity, until they attained a moisture content of about 19% . These blocks were then weighed (moisture content can be determined by oven drying) to obtain the conditioned, untreated weight.
- the blocks were spaced out on trays, and allowed to dry at room temperature. After drying, the blocks were placed in a conditioning environment of about 23 + 0.5° C, and 50 + 2% relative humidity for 21 days.
- Example but having a higher target B.A.E.
- five gallons (18.93 liters) of solution were prepared using 10.5 pounds (4.77 kg) of colemanite ore, and the target B.A.E. was 14.7% .
- the actual B.A.E. in the conditioned blocks prior to leaching was 5.995 % .
- This solution was applied to southern yellow pine blocks by the impregnation treatment.
- the following example describes the use of the claimed composition as a fire retardant.
- a solution for treating plywood strips for flame retardancy having a B.A.E. of 9.77% was prepared.
- the treated strips were again conditioned to constant weight as described above, and weighed.
- the level of retention of the boron products on the strips was determined by subtracting the constant weight of the strips prior to immersion from the constant weight of the strips after immersion.
- the strips immersed for three minutes had an average level of retention of 8.4% (wt.), meaning that the weight of the treated strips exceeded the weight of the untreated strips by 8.4% .
- the strips immersed for six minutes had an average retention of 11.5 % . This indicates that an increased immersion time results in an increased amount of products being retained on the samples.
- the treated plywood strips were then subjected to testing for flame spread rating (FSR). Two of the three strips in each of the two groups of strips (i.e. , the three-minute immersion group, and the six-minute immersion group) were tested in a 2-foot (60.96 cm) tunnel.
- FSR flame spread rating
- EXAMPLE 11 The following example illustrates the resistance of wood samples treated with the inventive composition to subterranean termites.
- the tests were designed to determine the level of boric acid equivalent that is effective for killing 100% of the population of subterranean termites in a test sample.
- the tests were designed to measure weight loss occasioned by termite feeding damage to the treated wood samples.
- Two sets of tests were performed on samples that had been pressure treated with the inventive composition. The first set of tests had a duration of four weeks, and the second set had a duration of eight weeks.
- inventive solution was prepared in accordance with the general procedure described above, and diluted to provide treatment solutions containing B.A.E. levels of 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25, 0.50 and 1.0% , respectively.
- the submerged cubes were removed from the filter flask, and placed in a 500 ml stainless steel pressure chamber along with 350-400 ml of the treatment solution.
- the hd of the chamber was secured, and 30 psi (2.1 kg/cm 2 ) of pressure (nitrogen) was introduced to position the chamber piston to the top of the chamber.
- a top valve was opened as the piston rose in the chamber to evacuate any air from the chamber, thereby establishing "zero" headspace in the pressure chamber.
- the pressure inside the chamber was increased to 100 psi, and maintained at this level for one hour.
- the pressure was then reduced to atmospheric pressure, and the cubes were removed from the chamber.
- the cubes were weighed, and allowed to air dry under ambient conditions.
- the cubes were then weighed again to determine the weight gain from the pressure treatment.
- Standard El -72 provides for a test duration of only four weeks, whereas one of the tests in this study lasted for eight weeks.
- Each cube was placed in a plastic cylindrical container, 2 inches (51 mm) inside diameter by 1-7/16 inches (35 mm) inside height.
- the container included approximately 40 ml of moistened sterilized sand/vermiculite mixture.
- the sand/vermiculite mixture was taken from a batch consisting of 1350 ml sand, 175 ml vermiculite and 250 ml of bottled water.
- the sand/vermiculite mixture was prepared by oven drying the components at 105° C. for 24 hours, and then thoroughly mixing the components with each other and with water.
- One hundred native eastern subterranean termites, Recticulitermesflavipes, were added to each container.
- the following example illustrates the resistance of wood samples treated with the inventive composition to wood decay fungi.
- the inventive solution was prepared in accordance with the general procedure described above, and was diluted to provide treatment solutions containing levels of 1.0% , 0.5 % , .025% , 0.125% and 0.0625 % B.A.E., as in Example 11.
- Five separate cubes of both red oak sapwood cubes and southern pine sapwood cubes were tested at each dilution level. The cubes were sized at % inches (1.9 cm 3 ) as in the previous example.
- the cubes were conditioned by heating them in a hot air convection oven at 50° C. for a period of four days.
- the untreated cubes were then allowed to return to ambient temperature at 30% relative humidity for two days.
- the cubes were weighed, and then vacuum and pressure treated with the test solution in similar fashion to the cubes of Example 11.
- the treated cubes were then weighed after treatment to determine the weight gain due to the treatment.
- the tests were performed in accordance with AWPA Standard E10-
- Test cubes were added aseptically after three weeks of incubation. The test cubes were reconditioned prior to exposure to fungi by drying to constant weight in a forced-draft oven at 40° C. The cubes were sterilized before use by heating to 100° C. for 20 minutes, and then placed in the jars with their respective cross-sectional faces centered in contact with mycellium-covered feeder strips.
- red oak cubes were exposed for 12 weeks to the white rot decay fungi, specifically Phanerochaete chrysosporum, Irpex lacteus, and Trametes versicolor. Two sets of red oak cubes were used as experimental controls, red oak cubes that were treated but not exposed to the fungi, and red oak cubes that were treated with water only and exposed to the white rot decay fungi.
- the treated southern pine cubes were exposed for 12 weeks to brown rot decay fungi, specifically to, Leucogyrophana pinastri, Gloeophyllum trabeum, and Postia placenta.
- Two sets of southern pine cubes were used as experimental controls, southern pine cubes that were treated but not exposed to the fungi, and southern yellow pine cubes that were treated with water only and exposed to the brown rot decay fungi.
- the various cultures were inspected on a weekly basis for growth, sterility and moisture content.
- Six weeks into the incubation 5 ml of water was added aseptically to each jar to maintain appropriate moisture content for fungal growth.
- the test cubes were evaluated for fungal colonization at both six and twelve weeks after initial exposure.
- the results of a visual evaluation of soil block assays after twelve weeks are provided in Table 2.
- the numerical results provided in the Table are arbitrary numbers based upon the following observations. The numbers reported in the Table represent an average of five visual evaluations:
- the inventive method may also be applied to other substrates wherein one or more of the problems cited above are commonly experienced.
- the product may be apphed to cotton batting to improve the resistance of batting to flame.
- Current borate treatment of cotton batting is done with solid dry borates, but a liquid such as produced by the present invention could also be used.
- it is believed that such products could also be used for treatment on regular cellulose insulation, on cellulosic insulation boards of the type used in home construction, and on certain natural and synthetic fibers.
