Blue gas, or blue-water gas, so-called because of the color of the flame upon burning (10), was discovered in 1780 when steam was passed over incandescent carbon (qv), and the blue-water gas process was developed over the period 1859—1875. Successfiil commercial appHcation of the process came about in 1875 with the introduction of the carburetted gas jet. The heating value of the gas was low, ca 10.2 MJ /m (275 Btu/fT), and on occasion oil was added to the gas to enhance the heating value. The new product was given the name carburetted water gas and the technique satisfied part of the original aim by adding luminosity to gas lights (10). 

Coal-based pitches are predommantly byproducts of metallurgical coke operations in recovery-type coke ovens. The volatile products from the coke oven are recovered and processed, in simplest terms, into gas, light oils, and tar. The quantity and character of the materials are influenced by the type of coal charge, the design of the cokmg equipment, and the temperature and time profile of carboni2ation. Table 1 shows a typical yield of products from the...

Transportation of natural gas through pipelines began in the United States in the early part of the nineteenth century. One of the first known uses occurred in 1821 with the building of a system of metallic lead pipes to transport natural gas from a nearby shallow well to commercial establishments in Fredonia, New York, Gas lights—burning gas made from coal—illuminated the streets of Baltimore beginning in 1816.

Other Reaction Products. In addition to SRC, gas, light oil, and a filter cake of unreacted coal and inorganic materials are produced in the first step of the short residence time coal liquefaction process. One of the objectives of short residence time coal liquefaction is to minimize the loss of hydrogen to gases and light oil.

Poul la Cour (1846-1908), a Danish pioneer who constructed the first wind turbine for the generation of electricity, was also probably the first person to supply an electrolyzer with electrical energy from wind turbines to produce hydrogen for gas light [46]. 

Ethylene is a colorless gas with a slightly sweet odor. It turns from liquid to gas at -155°F. It burns readily in the presence of oxygen with a luminous flame. In fact, it was the ethylene component that made coal gas so useful as a gas light fuel at the turn of the 19th century. The other components in the coal gas don t give off near the light when burned by themselves. Natural gas lamps or propane/butane lanterns must be fitted with mantels to reduce the...
