1. INTRODUCTION COST ACTION E22: Environmental optimisation of wood protection The only research organisation in Slovenia dealing with wood pathology and preservation is the Department of Wood Science and Technology, Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana. So, this document offers contact information on activities of our Department. Additionally, activities in industrial R&D departments of Slovenian wood preservative industries are mentioned. Information on these activities was obtained through permanent contacts with personnel in the relevant industries. 2. P<strong>ART</strong>ICIPANTS Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana, Department of Wood Science & Technology, Section of Wood Pathology and Preservation Dr. Franc Pohleven E-mail: franc.pohleven@uni-lj.si Web: www.bf.uni-lj.si/ (cgi-bin/slo/les/bf_new.htm?language=slo) Research themes • decay processes and mechanisms • succession and interactions among wood decay fungi (antagonisms and synergisms) • study of copper-tolerant wood decay fungi • synthesis, characterisation and determination of biological activity of new copper and zinc carboxylate based preservatives • new biocides (inhibitors) • options for the practical application of modified wood Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana, Department of Wood Science & Technology, Section of Furniture Surface coatings group Assist Prof. Dr. Marko Petric E-mail: marko.petric@uni-lj.si Web: www.bf.uni-lj.si/ (cgi-bin/slo/les/bf_new.htm?language=slo) Research themes • combined protection of wood with biocides and surface coatings (compatibility of surface finishes with impregnated wood, influence of coatings on biocides in wood and vice versa) • influence of surface coatings for outdoor application on moisture content in wood and related phenomena (staining fungi) • water repellents 144
Industrial R&D Departments Research themes COST ACTION E22: Environmental optimisation of wood protection • preparation of new wood preservation formulations • development of water borne metal carboxylate wood preservatives • synthesis, characterisation and application of new boric – acid amine complexes • use of carbamates against blue stain fungi 3. RESEARCH ACTIVITIES BY WORKING GROUP Working Group 1: PERFORMANCE Scope: Traditional wood preservatives, specifying durability requirements, optimum bio-effective life, creosote, field performance using soil, insects in Europe, climatic conditions. Determining bio-effective life of biocides • Biotransformation of copper-based preservatives by wood decay Scientific basis for realistic, end-use predictive tests • Succession and interactions among wood decay fungi (national project) • Studies of fungal degradation of wood by measurement of CO2 and O2 concentrations • Enzymatic degradation of wood by white-rot fungi and the role of copper compounds in these processes (Austrian – Slovenian project) • Copper carboxylates for water-based wood preservatives (national project): interactions of copper-based preservatives with wood components are studied in order to improve performance of copper-based preservatives Working Group 2: IMPACTS Scope: Risk assessment, optimum bio-effective life, remediation and wood wastes Risk assessment methods and rationale, including impact studies • Leaching of copper-based wood preservatives by white and brown rot fungi Implementing remediation technologies • Copper carboxylates for water-based wood preservatives (national project): within the scope of this project copper tolerance mechanisms are studied, with possible application for bioremediation of waste wood • Bioremediation of preservative-treated wood wastes 145
