Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the chemical modification of coal through low-temperature distillation, seeking to transform its volatile matter into a smokeless fuel for industrial purposes. The author, a professor of applied chemistry, conducted a series of experiments in the early 1900s to determine if chemical changes could be made to coalâs composition to minimize or eliminate smoke production. The results of the author's initial experiments, focusing on altering the volatile components of coal, are shared in detail here. The findings from this initial research are largely of scientific interest, but they lay the groundwork for future technical studies on this topic. Ultimately, the book demonstrates how early 20th-century scientists were already exploring innovative solutions to the problems of industrial smoke and efficient fuel combustion, setting the stage for ongoing efforts to develop cleaner energy sources. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334337109_0
