Abstract: | In 12 weeks of storage time pine roundwood lost approximately 11% in tall oil yield, while for the same length of time purchased
slabwood chips (pine) lost 64%. Most of the loss in yield occurred within six weeks. The purchased chips lost more tall oil
yield in one week than the roundwood in 12 weeks.
The loss in yield from the roundwood was due entirely to the loss in yield of fatty acids. The loss in yield in the purchased
slabwood chips was due predominantly to the loss in yield in fatty acids; however, there was, in addition, a small loss in
resin acids, and a very small loss in unsaponifiables.
As for tall oil quality, by the end of 12 weeks of storage the acid number of tall oil from both roundwood and purchased chips
had dropped below 160.
In correlating the yield of tall oil from the wood extractions with the yield of tall oil from the black liquor from digester
cooks, it appears that on the average about 80% to 88% of the extracted tall oil can be found in the black liquor. |
