Gas coke is nearly all carbon, and carbon properly burned will jive out, in round numbers, 14,000 unit* of heat per pound, or very nearly as much as the beat English steam coals. Indeed, coal only surpasses it because of the small quantity of hydrogen which it contains uncombined with oxygen. It is often urged that coko cannot be as good as coal because it has lost all the heat-producing power equivalent to that of the gas driven off. It is quite true that the coko resulting from oue ton of coal does not possess the same calorific value as the coal from which it was made. But it must be borne in mind that we are comparing coke with coal WEIGHT for WEtuHT. Thus, JOOlbs. of coal produces 6£lbs. of coke: so that some SOcwt. of coal is required to produce one ton of coko. and the difference satisfactorily allows for the heat producing power of the gas driven off.
