Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yields From the Destructive Distillation of Certain Hardwoods The maximum temperature was usually kept below 260 C. Until the water was nearly all expelled from the wood and the temperature at the center'had risen to about 190 C., when it was allowed to rise more rapidly. Only in this way could the temperatures at different points in the retort be kept near one another. By this means also the possible effect of variation in moisture content was minimized, since the slow preliminary heating resulted in a partial drying of the wood, and the different charges had therefore nearly the same mois ture content at the time the destructive distillation began.
