A Current

The opinion has recently been expressed1 that the poisonous action of ordinary coal-gas and carburetted water-gas is probably in part due to the “Illuminant” hydro-carbons, of which ethylene is the chief, and not simply to carbonic oxide. In consequence of the doubt existing on this point one of us was asked by the recent Departmental Committee of the Home Office on Water-Gas to investigate the matter, and the results of the experiments which we were then able to make appeared in the Committee's Report2. In the main series of observations the animal was placed in a respiration chamber through which a current of air was passing at a known rate. With the current, before it entered the chamber, a known percentage of coal-gas or carburetted water-gas was mixed. It was found that whether ordinary coal-gas or carburetted water-gas was used the symptoms observed were those of carbonic oxide poisoning, and corresponded exactly to the percentages of carbonic oxide present. We also found that Benzene, which is one of the “illuminants,” is present in proportions far too small to contribute to the toxic effects of coal-gas or carburetted water-gas. Finally, we endeavoured to investigate separately the action of ethylene. The ethylene we then used was prepared in the ordinary way from sulphuric acid and alcohol, and when about 10% of the gas was mixed with air and supplied to an animal very distinct toxic symptoms were produced.

The article studies the pyrolytic properties of the binderless hot-briquetted lignite in East Mongolia during the process of middle-temperature and low-temperature pyrolysis, mainly on the law of semi-coke characteristics and the tar extracts, pyrolysis water, gas velocity, gas contents at different temperature, meanwhile compared the pyrolysis characteristics of the raw coal and briquette. The research shows that as the temperature increasing, the semi-coke yield obtained by pyrolysis of lignite briquette is nearly 6% higher than raw coal, Tar releasing is approximately equal to raw coal, the pyrolysis water yield of raw coal is about13.85% higher than the briquette, the gas yield of briquette is about 7% higher than raw coal, gas velocity of briquette is higher than raw coal, calorific value of briquette gas is about 3 MJ/Nm3 higher than raw coal, gas composition rules are approximately equal, and both with a high content of CO and H2, and as well as suitable for synthesis gas. The main process of binderless briquetting is to remove moisture from coal samples. It relatively makes gas releasing process and water-oil separation more easily and makes the gas calorific value improved.

The effectiveness of calcium oxide in the removal of carbonyl sulfide from coal gas is estimated by thermochemical computations. It is assumed that the gas phase composition is determined by the equilibria of the reactions of water vapour with calcium sulfide and carbonyl sulfide and by the water-gas-shift reaction. The proposed relationships can be employed in engineering considerations and calculations.
