Retene and Coal
...in the retort, with the length of time the
distillation has been going on, and with an infinity of other factors of a more
or less complex nature. If bituminous coal is distilled at a low tempera Destruc-
ture, the tar is found to contain considerable quantities of tive dis- light
paraffin oils; and there is no doubt that paraffin tiflalion hydrocarbons are
present in the original coal. These o paraffins, under the influence of heat,
split up into simpler members of the same series and into olefines; and if we
imagine the action in its simplest form, we should have the gases, as they were
evolved, consisting of (say) ethane and ethylene. These have now to pass down
the heated retort on their way to the ascension pipe, and the contact with the
heated sides of the retort, and the baking from the radiant heat in the retort,
set up an infinity of changes. Ethane, when heated to this degree, splits up
into ethylene and hydrogen, whilst ethylene decomposes to methane and acetylene,
and the acetylene at once polymerizes to benzene, styrolene, retene, &c. A
portion also condenses, and at the same time loses some hydrogen, becoming
naphthalene; and the compounds so formed by interactions amongst themselves
build up the remainder of the hydrocarbons present in the coal tar, whilst the
organic substances containing oxygen in the coal break down, and cause the
formation of the phenols in the tar.
