Wood vinegar, also known as pyroligneous acid, is a liquid byproduct obtained from the production of charcoal through the process of pyrolysis, where wood is heated in a low-oxygen environment. It is a natural, organic substance that contains a mixture of water, acetic acid, methanol, and various other organic compounds.
Wood vinegar’s versatility and natural origins make it a valuable product in various industries, particularly in sustainable agriculture and organic farming.
