Abstract

Abstract Air dried and ground opium poppy stalks suspended in water containing sodium carbonate catalysts have been completely converted into liquid fuels and water-solubles chemicals at 573 °K in a 0.1 liter autoclave. Extractives and oil properties obtained from stalks and poppy seed were studied. Major compenents of the oil were linoleic acid (60.2 %) and oleic acid (22.3 %). Alcohol-benzene extractives of the stalks were 28.8 % while ether solubility was 7.5 %.
