The absorption and polymerization capacity of coal gas wash oils is important when they are used as an absorber to recover benzol from coke-oven gas. The absorption capacity characterizes the property of the oil for dissolving benzol at normal temperature and a high benzol concentration in the coke-oven gas and for easily separating the benzol on heating. The polymerization capacity of the oil characterizes its property of forming polymer products, usually dissolving in the oil and intensifying its color, under the influence of temperature. The acceleration of polymerization processing of individual components of the oil is affected by its repeated heating to 130 to 140/sup 0/C during distillation of the benzol. The accumulation of polymer products in the oil impairs its quality: for example, the density increases (to 1.1 g/cm/sup 3/), the molecular weight and viscosity increase and the absorption capacity decreases. Investigations permitted more precise determination of the most characteristic temperature interval for determination and evaluation of the absorption capacity of the oils, determination of the components which largely determine the formation of polymer products in the oil and determination of certain functions for the absorption and polymerization properties of various wash oils. The principal specifications were determined for oil with sufficient absorption capacity and low polymerization capacity: density at 20/sup 0/C of not over 1.047 g/cm/sup 3/, not less than 95% distillation in the 230 to 280/sup 0/C range, concentration, wt %: naphthalene not over 10%, monomethylnaphthalenes not less than 25%, high-boiling compounds (acenaphthene, diphenylene oxide and fluorene) not over 25%; no precipitation at 5/sup 0/C. Oil of this quality may be obtained by additional purification of the standard industrial coal wash oil.
