Black firing

Passing through the Turret Room, you see a name written in the open book in letters of black fire. Remember it, for it is your awarded Throne Name. Go now to the spired stairways and descend, via the Moon channel, to the landing of Tiphareth. 

Naphtha, occurring in Babylon, Dioscorides says, is white in color, though sometimes found black. Fire attacks it with great energy, so that it even seizes upon it from a distance.55...

Attic clay naturally contains iron, therefore fired dark red in the normal oxidizing conditions of the kilns of the time. The potters shaped the ceramic on the wheel, allowed it to dry in the sim and then painted the decoration scenes with a shp that consisted of a water suspension of the same clay used for the body but very decanted. This slip was applied on all the areas that had to be black. Firing was done only once but had three phases ... 

Low capacity shaft kilns, direct-fired manually with bituminous coal, which were extant during 1900—1940, largely disappeared following World War 11 because of their high thermal and labor costs, poor lime quaUty, and offensive emission of black smoke. Another kiln that was phased out in the United... 

Ma.nufa.cture. Several nickel oxides are manufactured commercially. A sintered form of green nickel oxide is made by smelting a purified nickel matte at 1000°C (30) a powder form is made by the desulfurization of nickel matte. Black nickel oxide is made by the calcination of nickel carbonate at 600°C (31). The carbonate results from an extraction process whereby pure nickel metal powder is oxidized with air in the presence of ammonia (qv) and carbon dioxide (qv) to hexaamminenickel(TT) carbonate [67806-76-2], [Ni(NH3)3]C03 (32). Nickel oxides also ate made by the calcination of nickel carbonate or nickel nitrate that were made from a pure form of nickel. A high purity, green nickel oxide is made by firing a mixture of nickel powder and water in air (25). 

BlackTea. The black tea manufacturing process has evolved over hundreds of years, until the early part of the twentieth century, Httie was known about the chemical changes. The process consists of the unit operations of withering, rolling, fermentation, firing, and sorting (4). 

Enamel Defects. Characterization of defects in porcelain enamel surfaces frequently requites detailed examination via microscopy to determine the sources of the defects. Defects ate divided into processing and material defects. The greatest number of defects result from processing bhsters, pinholes, black specks, dimples, tool marks, and chipping. Defects often occur from unobserved sources at almost every stage of the enameling process, but they ate not recognizable until the ware is fired. Conscientious process control helps to minimize the incidents of unacceptable finishes. 

Flexible tubing for high pressure service, equipped with stainless steel overbraid plus tube adapter end connections, is commonly available with a carbon black-loaded PTFE core tube to dissipate static. Numerous other designs of conductive and antistatic tubing are available for low pressure applications. The utility of conductive tubing in preventing fires during transfer of aromatic hydrocarbon liquids is described in [165]. 

Black smoke (BS) is a particulate measure that typically contains at least 50% respirable particulates smaller than 4.5 mm in aerodynamic diameter, sampled by the British smokeshade (BS) method. The reflectance of light is measured by the darkness of the stain caused by particulates on a white filter paper. The result of BS sampling depends on the density of the stain and the optical properties of the particulates. Because the method is based on reflectance from elemental carbon, its use is recommended in areas where coal smoke from domestic fires is the dominant component of ambient particulates.
