reasons of the superior quality of the pig’-iron. Charcoal is moreover used
in the various processes for refining in hearths.
The Table 49 shows the consumption of charcoal in Swedish iron
works during a series of years.
The consumption as a whole has decreased pretty considerably. Various
circumstances are answerable for this, first and foremost the rise in the
price of charcoal in recent years. This rise is in its turn due to
higher wages, and, above all, to the enormous demand on the part of
the flourishing wood pulp industry for woods formerly appropriated
exclusively to charring.
The Table 50 shows the consumption of cellulose ivood in 1 000 cubic
meters (dry measure) during each of the years from 1899 to 1913.
