Abstract
The destructive hydrogenation of cotton wool cellulose and fir wood sawdust in a tetralin medium was investigated. When it is present in sufficient excess, tetralin promotes the complete conversion of cellulose and wood to liquids and gases in the absence of a catalyst. The tetralin acts as a hydrogen carrier in fulfilling the function of a catalyst.Keywords
