Abstract
Supercritical acetone or methanol extraction of wood gave liquid products with a maximum yield of 74%. Approximately 5% of these complex products was identified as substituted guaiacols and levoglucosan. Acetone extract could substitute for 30% of the phenol in phenolic resins. Resin and fatty acids were extracted from southern pine and waxes from Douglas-fir bark using supercritical carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, propane or ethylene. Of these, propane and nitrous oxide gave the best yields.
