Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book dives into the fascinating world of coal gas residuals, offering a detailed exploration of the byproducts generated during the carbonization of coal. The author delves into the history of this process, tracing its evolution from the early days of gas lighting to the more sophisticated methods of the time. He illuminates the crucial role of chemistry in transforming coal gas production, highlighting the economic benefits of residual recovery. The book examines a range of residuals, including tar, naphthalene, cyanogen, and ammonia, detailing their properties, extraction methods, and applications. A significant portion is dedicated to the groundbreaking Feld system, a revolutionary approach to separating tar constituents fractionally by utilizing the gas's own heat. This contrasts with the more conventional methods of cooling and condensing gas, often resulting in the loss of valuable constituents. The author meticulously explains the principles behind fractional cooling and washing, using clear examples to illustrate the complex processes involved. He provides insightful analyses of the chemical interactions and the interplay of vapor tensions and dew points, offering practical insights into the optimization of residual recovery. The book underscores the significance of these processes for the coal gas industry, showcasing how efficient residual extraction can significantly impact the overall cost of gas production. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
