 1763.    ---------------.  [KING, J. G.]  Better Utilization of Coal for the Production of Oil and Petrol.  I.  A Survey of the Production of Tars and Oils From Coal.  Jour. Junior Inst. Eng. (London), vol. 54, 1944, pp. 225-244; Jour. Inst. Fuel, vol. 17, 1944, pp. 192-196; Engineering, vol. 158, 1944, pp. 236, 318-320, 337-338; Chem. Abs., vol. 38, 1944, p. 5381.

        This is a discussion of carbonization industries (creosote-pitch fuel, pulverized pitch, tar diesel oil, motor benzene), coal-oil suspensions (colloidal fuel), the hydrogenation of coal (catalysts, products, development, hydrogenation of tars and tar oils), indirect production of oil from coal (processes, efficiency and yields, lubricating oils), new processes (C₂H₄ and C₂H₆, CH₄ from coal measures and sewage, CaC₂, cannel tar), and direct replacement of oils in motor fuels.
