Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Manufacture of Coke in 1907 In considering the total value and the average selling price for the coke produced in the United States it should be remembered that in many cases the values are arbitrarily fixed. A considerable num ber of the coke ovens in this country are 0 erated by large corpora tions which operate also coal mines and last furnaces, the coke making being really only an incidental art of the business. In such cases the coke product is sometimes charged against the furnace department at cost and sometimes at a figure based upon the cost of coal mining and coke making, plus a percentage of profit on these operations. The value is not fixed by the market price. In other cases the value is estimated upon the average prices for coke of a similar quality produced and sold in the immediate vicinity. These conditions, however, continue from year to year and do not affect com arisons. T e quantity of coal consumed in the manufacture of coke in 1907 was short tons, valued at The value of the coke produced from this coal was a difference of 5, which represents the profits on the coking operations less the cost of manufacturing and the expenses of administration and selling. In 1906 the value of the coal used was and the value of the coke produced was a difference to cover all expenses of manufacture, administration, and profits of $29.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Coal and Coke The preparation of this book was undertaken in part because of the requests for information made to the author by numerous friends engaged in the manufacture of coal gas, and in part with the desire of placing before the American student of coal gas production, data in a concise form covering the various systems of coal carbonization. Baltimore was the first city in America to undertake to supply illuminating gas as a commercial commodity. The residents of this city were invited in 1816 to visit Peale's Museum to see the new burning air, the name given to coal gas by the advertising agent of the museum. This exhibition took place just six months after the daily papers had announced that Covent Garden Thea tre in London, as well as several streets in the English capitol, were illuminated by the burning of coal gas. Unfortunately, coal gas manufacture received a serious set back through the advent of carburetted water-gas, and this con dition has continued, until now approximately 75 per cent. Of the gas manufactured is produced in the water-gas generator. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION: The first edition of Coke was issued by The Colliery Engineer Company, of Scranton, Pennsylvania, in the year 1895 and was the first treatise on this growing and important industry published in the United States of North America. This edition was exhausted over one year ago. In the great progress of industrial manufacturers so manifest in the United States, this interval of nine years since the appearance of the first edition has retired some of the former methods in the manufacture of coke, and introduced many new ones. This advance in the progress of the industry has been induced by the large increase in the demand for coke, arising from the expansion in the use of steel and iron in architectural construction, as well as in railroad supplies. In the manufacture of these materials, a pure quality of coke fuel is an imperative necessity, and with the consequent large demand on the best coking coal fields, it has become necessary to extend coking operations outside these fields to regions possessing coking coals of a lower grade, requiring, in most cases, cleansing from the two principal impurities, slate and sulphur, by the modern processes of crushing, classifying, and washing. This necessary preparation or cleansing of coals for coking has been an inviting field for mechanical experts in which to devise machinery for this special purpose. It has also impressed the necessity for studying the several conditions in which these foreign matters are found in coals, so that proper machinery could be devised to meet the several conditions necessary for eliminating slate and sulphur. This department of the coke industry has, during the past decade, made commendable progress, especially in the preparation of the coal for introduction into the washer, in disintegrating the lumps of coal to certain sizes, and in the classification of the crushed product as it is being conveyed into the washers. This important auxiliary in the manufacture of coke enables the lower qualities of coals to be utilized in the production of an acceptable metallurgical fuel. In addition to this coal-cleansing auxiliary in the coke industry, an additional element has been introduced, meeting the conditions of some coals low in bituminous matter dry coals in a fairly satisfactory manner. These dry coals, low in fusing matter, could not be made to produce the best possible product in the usual open beehive coke oven. To meet these exceptional conditions, the retort coke oven has been introduced it is made in several types, but the different types have one element in common the retort or closed-chamber principle, which affords a quick heat and permits the utilization of the small content of volatile matter in these dry coals. The large cost of these retort coke ovens, with the additional expense of the apparatus for saving the by-products of tar and ammoniacal liquor, has prevented their general introduction. In addition to the large cost of installation, a retort-oven plant requires a supply of coal for a long period to cover the investment in the plant of ovens...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chemistry of Coke: Being the "Grundlagen Der Koks-Chemie" With the vast increase of the coal and iron industry of Germany since the establishment of the Empire, the chemistry of fuels, and especially the scientific chemical investigation of coal, has come to be regarded in that country as every day demanding a larger amount of attention. And certainly this view is not Without justification, for the annual production of coal in the kingdom of Prussia rose from (metrical) tons in the year 1870, to tons in the year 1880, and tons in the year 1890. During this period of twenty years, therefore, the output of coal has been almost trebled. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Due to the toxicity of many coal tar constituents, sites contaminated as a result of gasworks operations pose a significant threat to public health. This book will discuss the history of the manufactured gas industry in Massachusetts (the largest in the US), as well as the toxicity of gasworks waste products, technical challenges in the cleanup process, and the process for site cleanups.
Download or read book Coke from Illinois Coals an Experimental Slot Type Oven Classic Reprint written by Frank Hynes Reed and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Coke From Illinois Coals, an Experimental Slot-Type Oven Midwestern by-product coke ovens require annually millions of tons of high volatile bituminous coals Which are shipped from the Appalachian coal fields in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and eastern Kentucky. Illinois has larger reserves of high-volatile bituminous coals than any other state east of the Rockies. Though the Appalachian coals are principally of higher rank than the midwestern, the reserves of these high-rank coals are being depleted rapidly. Because of this and the present critical transportation problem, the Illinois State Geological Survey, aided by the Office of Production Research and Development, War Production Board, initiated a research program to study the problem of substituting mid western coals for a portion of the eastern high-volatile coals now being carbonized in midwestern coke ovens. Previous commercial and semicommercial experience has shown that metallurgical coke can be made from certain Illinois coals. The research program includes the design, construction, and operation Of a pilot-size coke oven to duplicate carbonizing conditions in commercial slot-type ovens. A slot-type pilot-size coke oven of soo-pound coal capacity, electrically heated to ensure accurate temperature control, is described. The yields and properties of the coke and by-products recovered from this small experimental oven correlate closely With those obtained by carbonizing the same coals in commercial ovens. Thus this Oven is a reliable guide for commercial operations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
