Item description from seller

Print on Demand. Delve into the intricate universe of coal tar, a byproduct of coal gas and coke manufacture, as this book unveils its complex chemical composition and the fascinating history of its industrial applications. Step back in time to the early 19th century, when the first public gas plant illuminated the streets of London, and trace the evolution of coal tar's uses from a nuisance to a valuable resource. The author meticulously guides readers through the primary and secondary distillation processes, revealing the methods used to separate and purify coal tar's myriad components, including benzene, toluene, xylene, phenol, and naphthalene. Discover how these substances have shaped countless industries, from pharmaceuticals to dyes and solvents. Beyond its historical significance, this book delves into the theoretical understanding of coal tar formation, exploring the role of heat and organic compounds in its creation. The author challenges prevailing theories and presents a comprehensive analysis of the complex reactions involved in coal tar's genesis. By weaving together scientific insights and industrial applications, this book not only provides a comprehensive overview of coal tar chemistry but also highlights its enduring impact on modern society, making it an invaluable resource for chemists, historians, and anyone interested in the fascinating interplay of science and industry. 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.
