PULP FROM CAMPHOR TREE AND THE EXTRACTION OF CAMPHOR

Thymol, Menthol and Camphor from Indian Sources

Thymol, menthol and camphor are well known in the materia medica of western medicine as well as in that of the indigenous medicine in India. Thymol has been considered important on account of its powerful antiseptic, germicidal and anthelmintic properties. One of its chief uses in recent years has been in the treatment of hookworm disease. It is also largely used as a constituent of tooth-paste...

New enantiopure NHCs derived from camphor.

A new class of enantiopure carbene precursors based on cheap camphor has been developed, and a restricted rotation of one N-substituent due to the C-10 methyl group of the camphor skeleton has been found; in situ prepared corresponding carbenes revealed the same behaviour.

Extraction of p-Nitroaniline from Aqueous Solutions onto Activated Carbon Prepared from Treated Camphor Wood

In this study, the residues of camphor wood were used to produce activated carbon by pyrolysis. The prepared carbon was treated by potassium dihydrogen phosphate and then used as a solid phase adsorbent for the removal of p-nitroaniline (PNA) from aqueous solutions. A commercial camphor activated carbon (CC) adsorbent was selected for comparison purposes. Liquid phase adsorption experiments wer...

Camphor Cultiyation in the United States

The camphor tree seems to be native in the coastal regions of southeastern Asia, both on the mainland and in the southern part of the Empire of Japan. It is but natural, therefore, that the earliest records of the plant should occur in Chinese literature. In the sixth century A. D.^ the tree was referred to as a valuable timber, no reference being made, however, to the gum. It is somewhat stran...
