The Effect of Oxygen in Coal by David White

The Effect of Oxygen in Coal by David White

"The Effect of Oxygen in Coal" (1909) delves into the influence of oxygen on the properties and behavior of coal. Authored by David White, this technical study provides a detailed analysis of how oxygen content impacts coal's combustion, heating value, and overall performance as a fuel source.

The book is a valuable resource for engineers, chemists, and researchers involved in fuel technology, energy production, and industrial processes utilizing coal. It explores the chemical reactions and physical changes that occur within coal due to the presence of oxygen, offering insights into optimizing coal usage and mitigating potential drawbacks.

Although a historical text, the principles and observations remain relevant for understanding the complexities of coal as an energy resource and for addressing environmental concerns related to coal combustion. This makes it a key addition to collections focusing on the history of fuel science and the evolution of energy technologies.
