Description
Summary:This investigation is one of a series which have been carried out in the Division of Industrial and Cellulose Chemistry at McGill University, in order to determine the chemical constituents of white spruce bark. Other investigations are still in progress. At present, bark is a major waste product in the pulp and paper industry. Not only does it possess little commercial value, but it also provides a difficult disposal problem. One object of these researches is to discover whether or not materials of potential value are present in the bark in sufficient amounts to justify their extraction on an industrial scale.
