DEFIBRING OF HISTORICAL ROOF BEAM CAUSED BY AMMONIUM BASED FIRE RETARDANTS<br />

Fig. 7 and 8 - Fine fibres present on the wood surface due to the defibring. Fig. 9 - Coarser (longer) fibres<br />

present on the defibred wood surface.<br />

Table 1: Loss of lignin as determined by FTIR I1510/I1372 band intensity ratios. Each value used is average of<br />

triplicate measurements. Band assignment: 1510 cm -1 – stretching vibration of the double bond in aromatic ring<br />

of lignin, 1372 cm -1 – out-of-plane bending vibration of CH bond at the cellulose glycoside ring.<br />

The relative increase in the carbonyl group content of the wood matter was evaluated based in the I1710/<br />

I1510 band intensity ratio where the band at 1710 cm -1 is due to stretching vibrations of the carboxyl<br />

C=O bond and the band at 1510 cm -1 is due to stretching vibrations of the double bond in the lignin<br />

aromatic ring (Table 1). This relative carboxyl group content in the wood was found to increase with<br />
