1157. ---------------. [GAS WORLD.] Oil and Petrol From Coal. Vol. 120, 1944, pp. 487-489. An editorial urging greater British development and utilization of the Fischer-Tropsch process for the production of liquid fuels from British coal. The point is emphasized, based on the recent lecture by J. G. King before the Junior Institution of Engineers, that the logical development is toward combining coal carbonization with the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, whereby only 3.45 tons of coal would be required to produce 1 ton of primary product at a thermal efficiency of 42% instead of the 25% usually quoted. |
