PINE TURPENTINE OIL

Pine Turpentine Oil is a fluid obtained by the distillation of resin harvested from living trees, mainly pines.
Principally used as a specialized solvent, it is also a source of material for organic syntheses.
Pine Turpentine Oil is composed of terpenes, primarily the monoterpenes alpha- and beta-pinene, with lesser amounts of carene, camphene, limonene, and terpinolene.
Substitutes include white spirit or other petroleum distillates – although the constituent chemicals are very different.

CAS NO: 8006-64-2
IUPAC Name: 3-(5-chloro-3-methyl-1,2-oxazol-4-yl)-N-[2-(furan-2-yl)ethyl]propanamide
EC NO: 232-350-7
Chemical formula: C10H16

Other names: spirit of turpentine, oil of turpentine, terebenthine, terebenthene, terebinthine, colloquially, turps

Etymology
The word Pine Turpentine Oil derives (via French and Latin) from the Greek word τερεβινθίνη terebinthine, in turn the feminine form (to conform to the feminine gender of the Greek word, which means "resin") of an adjective (τερεβίνθινος) derived from the Greek noun (τερέβινθος) for the terebinth tree.

Although the word originally referred to the resinous exudate of terebinth trees (e.g. Chios Pine Turpentine Oil, Cyprus Pine Turpentine Oil, and Persian Pine Turpentine Oil), it now refers to that of coniferous trees, namely crude Pine Turpentine Oil (e.g. Venice Pine Turpentine Oil is the oleoresin of larch), or the volatile oil part thereof, namely oil (spirit) of Pine Turpentine Oil; the later usage is much more common today.

Source trees
Important pines for Pine Turpentine Oil production include: maritime pine (Pinus pinaster), Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis), Masson's pine (Pinus massoniana), Sumatran pine (Pinus merkusii), longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), slash pine (Pinus elliottii), and ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa).

To tap into the sap producing layers of the tree, harvesters used a series of hacks to remove the pine bark. Once debarked, pine trees secrete crude Pine Turpentine Oil (oleoresin) onto the surface of the wound as a protective measure to seal the opening, resist exposure to micro-organisms and insects, and prevent vital sap loss.

Harvesters wounded trees in V-shaped streaks down the length of the trunks to channel the crude Pine Turpentine Oil into containers.
Pine Turpentine Oil was then collected and processed into spirits of Pine Turpentine Oil. Crude Pine Turpentine Oil yield may be increased by as much as 40% by applying paraquat herbicides to the exposed wood.

The V-shaped cuts are called "catfaces" for their resemblance to a cat's whiskers. These marks on a pine tree indicate it was used to collect resin for Pine Turpentine Oil production.

Pine Turpentine Oil (and rosin) are produced as naval stores.
Pine trees especially in North Carolina were tapped for sap which was doubly distilled to make Pine Turpentine Oil and rosin (aka resin)–hence the name tar heel. The trees were scored with a ledge called a "box" to collect the sap.

Large numbers of slaves were used to score the trees, collect and process the sap.
Historian Jeremy B. Zallen describes this as industrial slavery, which was different from the more common instance of slaves in agriculture.
By the 1840s camphine (also spelled camphene) became one of the dominant lamp fuels in the US.

The pine trees of North Carolina were well suited to camphine production.
The business also provided additional need for slaves as production expanded.
Backwoods became more productive. Slaves were often leased in winter when agriculture was slower.

The value of many was protected by life insurance.
Wilmington became a center of the camphine industry.
In cities, gas lighting was also available, but used by the upper classes.
Camphine was the fuel of the average family.

Zallen reports that after Ft. Sumter, Pine Turpentine Oil producers were cut off from major markets. Emancipation left them without manpower to collect and process Pine Turpentine Oil.
The camps were flammable.
Many were burned in William Tecumseh Sherman's march from Savannah to Goldsboro.

Converting crude Pine Turpentine Oil to oil of Pine Turpentine Oil
Crude Pine Turpentine Oil collected from the trees may be evaporated by steam distillation in a copper still. Molten rosin remains in the still bottoms after Pine Turpentine Oil has been distilled out.
Such Pine Turpentine Oil is called gum Pine Turpentine Oil.
The term gum Pine Turpentine Oil may also refer to crude Pine Turpentine Oil, which may cause some confusion.

Pine Turpentine Oil may alternatively be extracted from destructive distillation of pine wood, such as shredded pine stumps, roots, and slash, using the light end of the heavy naphtha fraction (boiling between 90 and 115 °C or 195 and 240 °F) from a crude oil refinery.
Such Pine Turpentine Oil is called wood Pine Turpentine Oil.

Multi-stage counter-current extraction is commonly used so fresh naphtha first contacts wood leached in previous stages and naphtha laden with Pine Turpentine Oil from previous stages contacts fresh wood before vacuum distillation to recover naphtha from the Pine Turpentine Oil.
Leached wood is steamed for additional naphtha recovery prior to burning for energy recovery.

Sulfate Pine Turpentine Oil
When producing chemical wood pulp from pines or other coniferous trees, sulfate Pine Turpentine Oil may be condensed from the gas generated in Kraft process pulp digesters.
The average yield of crude sulfate Pine Turpentine Oil is 5–10 kg/t pulp.
Unless burned at the mill for energy production, sulfate Pine Turpentine Oil may require additional treatment measures to remove traces of sulfur compounds.

Industrial and other end uses
Solvent
As a solvent, Pine Turpentine Oil is used for thinning oil-based paints, for producing varnishes, and as a raw material for the chemical industry. Its use as a solvent in industrialized nations has largely been replaced by the much cheaper Pine Turpentine Oil substitutes obtained from petroleum such as white spirit. A solution of Pine Turpentine Oil and beeswax or carnauba wax has long been used as a furniture wax.

Lighting
Spirits of Pine Turpentine Oil, called camphine, was burned in lamps with glass chimneys in the 1830s through the 1860s. Pine Turpentine Oil blended with grain alcohol was known as burning fluid. Both were used as domestic lamp fuels, gradually replacing whale oil, until kerosene, gas lighting and electric lights began to predominate.

Source of organic compounds
Pine Turpentine Oil is also used as a source of raw materials in the synthesis of fragrant chemical compounds. Commercially used camphor, linalool, alpha-terpineol, and geraniol are all usually produced from alpha-pinene and beta-pinene, which are two of the chief chemical components of Pine Turpentine Oil.
These pinenes are separated and purified by distillation. The mixture of diterpenes and triterpenes that is left as residue after Pine Turpentine Oil distillation is sold as rosin.

Folk medicine
Pine Turpentine Oil and petroleum distillates such as coal oil and kerosene, were used in folk medicine for abrasions and wounds, as a treatment for lice, and when mixed with animal fat, as a chest rub or inhaler for nasal and throat ailments.
Vicks chest rubs still contain Pine Turpentine Oil in their formulations, although not as an active ingredient.

Pine Turpentine Oil, now understood to be dangerous for consumption, was a common medicine among seamen during the Age of Discovery.
Pine Turpentine Oil was one of several products carried aboard Ferdinand Magellan's fleet during the first circumnavigation of the globe.
Taken internally it was used as a treatment for intestinal parasites.
This is dangerous, due to the chemical's toxicity.

Pine Turpentine Oil enemas, a very harsh purgative, had formerly been used for stubborn constipation or impaction.
They were also given punitively to political dissenters in post-independence Argentina.

Niche uses
Pine Turpentine Oil is also added to many cleaning and sanitary products due to its antiseptic properties and its "clean scent".
In early 19th-century America, spirits of Pine Turpentine Oil (camphine) was burned in lamps as a cheap alternative to whale oil.
Pine Turpentine Oil produced a bright light but had a strong odour.
Camphine and burning fluid (a mix of alcohol and Pine Turpentine Oil) served as the dominant lamp fuels replacing whale oil until the advent of kerosene, electric lights and gas lighting.

Honda motorcycles, first manufactured in 1946, ran on a blend of gasoline and Pine Turpentine Oil, due to the scarcity of gasoline in Japan following World War II.
In his book If Only They Could Talk, veterinarian and author James Herriot describes the use of the reaction of Pine Turpentine Oil with resublimed iodine to "drive the iodine into the tissue", or perhaps just impress the watching customer with a spectacular treatment (a dense cloud of purple smoke).
Pine Turpentine Oil was added extensively into gin during the Gin Craze.

Hazards
As an organic solvent, Pine Turpentine Oil's vapour can irritate the skin and eyes, damage the lungs and respiratory system, as well as the central nervous system when inhaled, and cause damage to the renal system when ingested, among other things.
Ingestion can cause burning sensations, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, confusion, convulsions, diarrhea, tachycardia, unconsciousness, respiratory failure, and chemical pneumonia.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set the legal limit (permissible exposure limit) for Pine Turpentine Oil exposure in the workplace as 100 ppm (560 mg/m3) over an 8-hour workday. The same threshold was adopted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) as the recommended exposure limit (REL).
At levels of 800 ppm (4480 mg/m3), Pine Turpentine Oil is immediately dangerous to life and health.
