Abstract
The article is devoted to the history of pyrogenetic wood processing. The stages of development of this branch of wood chemistry from ancient times to our time are considered. The features of the technologies of pit, heap and fire coal burning are described in detail. Considered are the schematic diagrams of batch and continuous charcoal kilns, as well as modern retort technologies for pyrolysis of wood and waste of its mechanical and chemical processing. This article is the third in the series «Wood as a chemical raw material — history and modernity», the first and second were published in the journal «Forestry Bulletin», volumes 24, № 1 and № 5.
