| Abstract |
| The process by which gas is obtained from coal is a
chemical operation known as destructive distillation and
technically called carbonisation. By low temperature
carbonisation is understood the destructive distillation of
coal at temperatures round about 6ooec. instead of at the
higher temperatures nsed in the gas and coke-oven
industries. The chief aims of low temperature coal
carbonisation are :-
(1) To produce maximum amount of gas of high calorific
value.
(2) To produce smokeless fuel suitable for domestic
and other purposes.
(3) To produce maximum amount of fuel oil of low
specific gravity.
Due to the limited coal deposits of India, it is but
necessary to organise a sound national fuel industry. |
