mollusque commented on the word wasteliquor
When acids are involved in pulping, the hemicelluloses of wood are converted into sugars which pass into the cooking liquor; little attempt has thus far been made in the United States to recover these wood sugars from the wasteliquor.
--H. P. Brown, A. J. Panshin and C. C. Forsaith, 1949, Textbook of Wood Technology, vol. 2, p. 727
Note added later: discovered through Google Books, but original text not visible; needs confirmation that "wasteliquor" rather than "waste liquor" was written.

mollusque commented on the word wasteliquor
The spelling "wasteliquor" does occur on p. 727, but "waste liquor" appears on p. 745, so it seems not to be an intentional spelling.
