Pine Tar & Wood Protection Asphalt & Roof Care
PINE TAR & WOOD PROTECTION ASPHALT & ROOF CARE PINE TAR NAture’s own wood PROTECTION Pine tar has been used in Scandinavia for hundreds of years to protect and preserve wooden buildings, boats, jetties and eve- ryday items. As well as protecting wooden structures against rot, natural tar is also mildly antiseptic. This characteristic means that pine tar is used in a number of different pharma- ceutical and veterinary products for treating skin complaints. It is therefore a common ingredient in skin ointments, soap and shampoo, etc. For a long time pine tar was one of Sweden’s most important export items. A protective oil – direct from the forest Pine tar is a viscous blackish-brown liquid consisting of vola- tile terpene oils, neutral oils, resin acids and fatty acids. It’s the combination of these substances that allows mediaeval wood- en buildings that have been regularly treated with pine tar to still stand today. The proportion of these constituents varies in different tar qualities, depending on the type of wood, its age and the part of the tree used. Historically, resin-rich pine stumps have always been considered to give the best pine tar, as resin contains substances that protect the living tree from rot, insect infestation and so on. Since it has become harder to get hold of stumps, tree trunks and branches are now used to a greater extent. Aromatic and easily soluble Pine tar is transparent in thin layers and has a natural aromatic scent. It’s pretty much fully soluble in alcohol and turpentine, as well as almost completely compatible with fatty oils. -

Hardwood-Distillation Industry
HARDWOOD-DISTILLATION INDUSTRY No. 738 Revised February 1956 41. /0111111 110 111111111111111111 t I 1, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FOREST PRODUCTS LABORATORY FOREST SERVICE MADISON 5, WISCONSIN. In Cooperation with the University of Wisconsin 1 HARDWOOD-DISTILLATION INDUSTRY— By EDWARD BEGLINGER, Chemical Engineer 2 Forest Products Laboratory, — Forest Service U. S. Department of Agriculture The major portion of wood distillation products in the United States is obtained from forest and mill residues, chiefly beech, birch, maple, oak, and ash. Marketing of the natural byproducts recovered has been concerned traditionally with outlets for acetic acid, methanol, and charcoal. Large and lower cost production of acetic acid and methanol from other sources has severely curtailed markets formerly available to the distillation in- dustry, and has in turn created operational conditions generally unfavor- able to many of the smaller and more marginal plants. Increased demand for charcoal, which is recovered in the largest amount as a plant product, now provides a compensating factor for more favorable plant operation. The present hardwood-distillation industry includes six byproduct-recovery plants. With the exception of one smaller plant manufacturing primarily a specialty product, all have modern facilities for direct byproduct re- covery. Changing economic conditions during the past 25 years, including such factors as progressively increasing raw material, equipment, and labor costs, and lack of adequate markets for methanol and acetic acid, have caused the number of plants to be reduced from about 50 in the mid- thirties to the 6 now operating. In addition to this group, a few oven plants formerly practicing full recovery have retained the carbonizing equipment and produce only charcoal. -

Different chemicals to coal impregnation ratios - H34PO /coal (0.0 – 4.25) and KOH/coal (0.0 - 3.0) - were carbonized at different temperatures (450, 450 or 600 oC). The respective acid or base addition to the precursor exhibited marked differences in the true densities, SEM micrographs, BET surface areas and pore volumes of the activated carbon. Microporous samples were obtained with average pore diameters in the range of 17.4 to 21.4 Å. Increase in H34PO concentration showed increase in porosity and surface area at all temperatures. Addition of KOH led to higher surface area, more porous structure with wider pore size distributions than that of acid. At high temperatures (550 or 650 oC), the average pore diameters were observed to be less dependent on the nature of the chemical used. Keyword: activated carbon, chemical activation, SEM, surface area, porosity INTRODUCTION could lead to a more microporous structure suitable for gas storage[15]. However, similar post-treatment attempt Coals are favored precursors for preparation of using air gasification exhibited no significant changes activated carbon. -
Pine Tar; History and Uses
Pine Tar; History And Uses Theodore P. Kaye Few visitors to any ship which as been rigged in a traditional manner have left the vessel without experiencing the aroma of pine tar. The aroma produces reactions that are as strong as the scent; few people are ambivalent about its distinctive smell. As professionals engaged in the restoration and maintenance of old ships, we should know not only about this product, but also some of its history. Wood tar has been used by mariners as a preservative for wood and rigging for at least the past six centuries. In the northern parts of Scandinavia, small land owners produced wood tar as a cash crop. This tar was traded for staples and made its way to larger towns and cities for further distribution. In Sweden, it was called "Peasant Tar" or was named for the district from which it came, for example, Lukea Tar or Umea Tar. At first barrels were exported directly from the regions in which they were produced with the region's name burned into the barrel. These regional tars varied in quality and in the type of barrel used to transport it to market. Wood tars from Finland and Russia were seen as inferior to even the lowest grade of Swedish tar which was Haparanda tar. In 1648, the newly formed NorrlSndska TjSrkompaniet (The Wood Tar Company of North Sweden) was granted sole export privileges for the country by the King of Sweden. As Stockholm grew in importance, pine tar trading concentrated at this port and all the barrels were marked "Stockholm Tar". -
INVESTIGATION of POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS (Pahs) on DRY FLUE GAS DESULFURIZATION (FGD) BY-PRODUCTS
INVESTIGATION OF POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS (PAHs) ON DRY FLUE GAS DESULFURIZATION (FGD) BY-PRODUCTS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ping Sun, M.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Linda Weavers, Adviser Professor Harold Walker Professor Patrick Hatcher Adviser Professor Yu-Ping Chin Civil Engineering Graduate Program ABSTRACT The primary goal of this research was to examine polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on dry FGD by-products to determine environmentally safe reuse options of this material. Due to the lack of information on the analytical procedures for measuring PAHs on FGD by-products, our initial work focused on analytical method development. Comparison of the traditional Soxhlet extraction, automatic Soxhlet extraction, and ultrasonic extraction was conducted to optimize the extraction of PAHs from lime spray dryer (LSD) ash (a common dry FGD by-product). Due to the short extraction time, ultrasonic extraction was further optimized by testing different organic solvents. Ultrasonic extraction with toluene as the solvent turned out to be a fast and efficient method to extract PAHs from LSD ash. The possible reactions of PAHs under standard ultrasonic extraction conditions were then studied to address concern over the possible degradation of PAHs by ultrasound. By sonicating model PAHs including naphthalene, phenanthrene and pyrene in organic solutions, extraction parameters including solvent type, solute concentration, and sonication time on reactions of PAHs were examined. A hexane: acetone (1:1 V/V) ii mixture resulted in less PAH degradation than a dichloromethane (DCM): acetone (1:1 V/V) mixture. -
