Stovers,
Just to stir up the pot for fun. I understand that rock oils come in
two types: Asphaltic and Paraffinic base. The question for those
enlightened about rock coal is: does coal come in those two categories, or is there
another basis for the caking? I know that most coking coals produce
abundant tars. These are now reused to produce a thousand useful chemical
compounds.
Metallurgic coking coals are noted for their low ash, low sulfur, low
phosphorous content. All of these unwanted elements degrade the finished
iron. Is there a relationship here? Do wood charcoals have these same or
similar properties? .
How does refinery coke differ from coke made from coal? Is there
various grades of refinery coke?
I have as usual more questions than answers. Good thing I don't have
time to read all the Stoves letters that appear on the list. I'd really not
appreciate the flood of replies to read. Unless it's nasty weather outside
and I'm bored.
For those who follow my personal business situation, I am supposed to
take possession of a fore mentioned property tomorrow. Only three weeks
late, with five weeks to develop the site and move everything. Do you believe
in miracles? I need one now. My hard work has just begun.
Isn't life grand?
