MAKING GASOLINE
FROM GOAL IS NOW
SCIENTIFIC FACT
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN DESCRIBES
PROCESS INVENTED BY DR.
FREDEDRICK BERBIUS
Discussing the process by which
lignite coals may be converted into
benzine, light and heavy fuel oils,
phenol compounds and ammonia, the
Scientific American July number says
in part:
“The discovery of how to convert
coal into liquid products is not a lucky
accident but the achievement of long
and laborious scientific research, such
as gave Germany the supremacy in
the manufacture of indigo and other
synthetic dyes before the war. Dr.
Frederick Bergius began his study in
the composition of coal in 1912 and,
with the exception of the interruption
of the war, the investigation has been
carried on ever since at a cost of mil
lions of dollars.
“The essential principle of the pro
cess consists in combining hydrogen
gas with coal by means of high heat
pressure. The coal is first ground
into small pieces less than a tenth of
an inch in diameter, and then mixed
with heavy oil to a thick pasty mass.
This is placed in a light steel retort
and heated to about 800 degrees,
Fahrenheit, under a pressure of about
3,000 pounds per square inch. Most
of the carbon unites with hydrogen,
giving a complex mixtqre of gaseous,
liquid and solid compounds similar to
those coming from natural wells. In
the case of lignite, a low-grade brown
coal, as much as 99 per cent of the car
bon is transformed into such market
able products. The nitrogen contain
ed in the coal is transformed into am
monia or liquid bases. A ton of com
mon bituminous coal will yield 300
pounds of gasoline, 400 pounds of
heavier oils suitable for Diesel inter
nal combustion engines, 120 pounds of
lubricating oils and 160 ponds of fuel
oils. As a rule about 45 gallons of
marketable gasoline can be expected
! from a ton of soft coal. The second
fraction of heavier oils is used in im
pregnating another batch of powdered
coal. Among the products of the pro
cess is a quantity of carbolic acid or
phenol, a familiar antiseptic and also
a compound of bake-lite, used in ra
dio and phonographs.
“The Bergius process can be an
nexed to an ordinary gas-producing
plant, converting the coke into more
valuable oils and enabling inferior
oils to be used. Dr. Bergius was
| asked whether his process would pay
in the United States but declined to
commit himself on the ground of his
inexperience with Amerncan condi
tions. He ventured, however, to esti
mate that the various oil products
could be made here at a cost of about
810 per ton.”
The application of the Bergius pro
cess to Alaska coals as is proposed by
a San Francisco corporation, as de
tailed Saturday in The Gateway, ap
pears exceptionally favorable both
with respect to bituminous and lig
nite coals, both of which exist in al
most immeasurable quantities, includ
ing coal like that of the Roth mine
and the Healy River Coal Corporation
mine, which is classed as sub-bi
tuminous, and grades higher than what
is ordinarily understood as brown lig
nite. v
One of the advantages of the Roth
coal, as pointed out by General Man
ager Noel Smith of the Alaska Rail
road, is that it breaks with conchoid
al fracture like anthracite, will stand
shipping without deterioration such as
crushing, and carries a large volume
of the constituents necessary to meet
the requirements of the new process..
Ben Thompson, formerly a deputy
U. S. marshal at Fairbanks, who re
cently suffered a stroke, was taken
south on the S. S. Alaska to secure
medical treatment. He was born on
board the ship on a stretcher.
