Lauryldimethylamine → Copper Ammonia Dodecyldimethylamine Oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

480 g of ammoniated copper carbonate concentrate prepared as in Example 1 (i.e. solution (I)) was mixed with 160 grams of Barlox® 12, which is a 30% (w/w) aqueous solution of dodccyldimethylamine oxide available from Lonza, Inc., of Fair Lawn, N.J., to yield a concentrated solution. This solution was diluted with 7360 grams of deionized water and the resulting solution containing 0.6% (w/w) copper oxide and 0.6% dodecyldimethylamine oxdie was used to treat wood in a pressure cylinder.
