Analysis of Inorganic Constituents
Abstract The inorganic components in wood are various salts of carbonates, silicates, phosphates, and oxalates (predominantly in bark, Chap. 1). They are minor constituents of the wood material and their total concentrations (measured as ash) rarely exceed the 1% level. The inorganic ions are normally taken up by the living tree through the roots from the soil. The mineral elements play an important role in the growing process of the tree. The modes of uptake and distribution of the different elements in the living tree are largely unknown. The inorganic compounds in the wood exist as mineral salts and as cations bound to acidic groups. Information about concentrations of a number of elements in different wood species and their location in the tree have been reported in the literature (Young and Guinn 1966; Koch 1972, 1985, 1996; Wardell and Hart 1973). Table 10.1 shows the distribution of the elements in different concentration ranges in the trunk wood of a pine tree from southwestern Finland. The concentrations were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
