The characteristics of the Silesian coal had been tested in January 1941 and found to react unfavorably in processing for gasoline and middle oil, even more than Gelsenberg coal. And, indeed to a considerably greater extent, it was worse than one had been led to expect on the basis of the coal analysis. The behavior of the coal was tested in heating oil production, since it was assumed that a trade off had to be made. Were a relatively more favorable reaction to be had, then complete cracking of the decomposition product into gasoline and middle oil had to be given up as demonstrated, since it was necessary to accept constantly higher gasification with the Silesian coal equal in carbon content to Gelsenberg coal. A table insert showed the Silesian coal to be slightly less in decomposition than the Gelsenberg. After running both processing methods (gasoline and heating oil), it remained the same. While processing the Upper Silesian coal into gasoline and middle oil gave the same yield, but markedly higher gasification, the yield and gasification in processing for heating oil were the same as for Gelsenberg coal. Only the asphalt decomposition in the heating oil process, compared to the Gelsenberg coal, was in somewhat greater measure worse than in processing for gasoline and middle oil. In order to make carbonization possible in the spherical oven, in spite of the bad asphalt decomposition of the Silesian coal, strict limitations on processing had to be used; that is, reducing amounts of through-put. In this way, an improvement in asphalt decomposition, coupled with a lessining in yield, and a small increase in gasification was obtained. 20 tables.
