Abstract

Chemical utilization of raw materials depends largely on the chemical composition and the chemical and physical properties of the raw materials under consideration. The utilization of wood is no exception to this principle. Thus, a wood having a low percentage of cellulose is uneconomical as a source of wood sugar or pulp for paper; and one of an excessively knotty character is undesirable for chemical conversion Woods having several undesirable characteristics generally fall within the classification of species little used for the purpose. Fortunate! aspen falls outside this class.
