Minnesota chemist unveils high yield wood pulp method
Dean George D. Frank orter of the University of Minnesota College of Chemistry reports a distillation based process that converts waste wood into wood pulp and turpentine, claiming each cord of fir yields $80 in by products and drastically reduces waste. He describes heating waste wood with carbon disulphide or gasoline to release turpentine and rosin as gases, leaving pulp. The discovery grew from observations of a pine stump odor in 1897 and yields shown from Norway pine samples.
