Abstract: In order to understand the extract species, chemical composition and the application situation of wood vinegar, and grasp the development tendency and research direction of wood vinegar, this paper summarized the kinds of sources, the difference in chemical compositions and the present application situations in various industries of wood vinegar based on the extensive researches and literature reviews. The results showed that the source distribution of wood vinegar was idespread, and it was easily obtained, meanwhile the cost was low, the trunk, branches, kernel, nuts, corn cob, sawdust and other agriculture and forestry waste could be used to extract wood vinegar liquid; there were different chemical compositions among different species of wood vinegar, but the chemical compositions of the wood vinegar were dominated by acids and phenols, and also contained less and complicated kinds of ketones, esters, aldehydes, alcohols and other compounds; at the same time, the application of wood vinegar was also extensive in the agriculture and forestry, animal husbandry, environment, food, medical treatment and so on. The production and application of wood vinegar was environmentally friendly, and it had no toxic effect on human and animal, and had great development prospects in China.
