Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A 10"×0.5"×0.75" piece of ponderosa pine was equilibrated, weighed, and heated for two hours at 60° C. The wood was treated with a treating solution of 2% didecyldimethylammonium acetate in water by heating in the solution at 60° C. to 80° C. for one hour, cooling and standing overnight, and then being subjected to a second warm to cool cycle. The samples were allowed to dry to constant weight, and the uptake was determined by comparing starting and finishing weights.
