Formula Weights of Low Temperature Phenols.

Abstract

MAKE the most economical use of the phenols that are extracted from low-temperature tar oils it is important to determine the identity of the compounds in the mixture. Any method, therefore, which will assist in the identification of these compounds will have an important bearing on the carbonization industry. In an earlier paper1•* it was shown that the sodium method may be used for determining the average formula weights of a mixture of phenols. In studying the partial extraction of tar acids from
