The heating (dry distilling) of pine wood causes tar and pitch to drip away from the wood [citation needed] and leave behind charcoal. Birch bark is used to make particularly fine tar, known as "Russian oil", used in Russian leather protection. The by-products of wood tar are turpentine and charcoal.
Bone char is primarily made from cattle and pig bones; however, to prevent the spread of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, the skull and spine are no longer used. [2] The bones are heated in a sealed vessel at up to 700 °C (1,292 °F); the oxygen concentration must be kept low while doing this, as it affects the quality of the product, particularly its adsorption capacity.
