  2. Water gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_gas

    This gas provided a more efficient heating fuel than the common coal gas, or coke gas, which was used in municipal service. The process used the water-gas shift reaction: CO + H 2 O → CO 2 + H 2. The process was discovered by passing high-pressure steam over hot coal, the major source of coke gas. Lowe's process improved upon the chimney ...

  3. Soda geyser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soda_geyser

    A soda geyser is a physical reaction between a carbonated beverage, usually Diet Coke, and Mentos mints that causes the beverage to be expelled from its container. The candies catalyze the release of gas from the beverage, which creates an eruption that pushes most of the liquid up and out of the bottle.

  4. Fuel gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_gas

    Water gas, largely obsolete, obtained by passing steam over hot coke; Producer gas, largely obsolete, obtained by passing steam and air over hot coke; Syngas, major current technology, obtained mainly from natural gas; Wood gas, obtained mainly from wood, once was popular and of relevance to biofuels; Biogas, obtained from landfills; Blast ...

  5. Coke (fuel) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coke_(fuel)

    Raw coke. Coke is a grey, hard, and porous coal-based fuel with a high carbon content. It is made by heating coal or petroleum in the absence of air. Coke is an important industrial product, used mainly in iron ore smelting, but also as a fuel in stoves and forges.

  6. Cracking (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracking_(chemistry)

    The process also results in the slow deposition of coke, a form of carbon, on the reactor walls. Since coke degrades the efficiency of the reactor, great care is taken to design reaction conditions to minimize its formation. Nonetheless, a steam cracking furnace can usually only run for a few months between de-cokings.

  7. Coal gasification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_gasification

    The 1860s were the golden age of coal gas development. Scientists like Kekulé and Perkin cracked the secrets of organic chemistry to reveal how gas is made and its composition. From this came better gas plants and Perkin's purple dyes, such as Mauveine. In the 1850s, processes for making Producer gas and Water gas from coke were developed ...

  9. Coke strength after reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coke_strength_after_reaction

    Coke Strength after Reaction (CSR) refers to coke "hot" strength, generally a quality reference in a simulated reaction condition in an industrial blast furnace.The test is based on a procedure developed by Nippon Steel Corp in the 1970s as an attempt to get an indication of coke performance and is used widely throughout the world since then.
