SCIENTIFIC

n. Felir Hunlbert and M. Henry
have recently communicated to tie
French Academy of Sciencea new meth
cd Of producing pure hydrogen and
Of making water-gas at an extremely
low cost. In this process a jet of SUI
perheated steam Is directed into a re-
tort filed with incandescent coke. The
oxygen unites with the carbon to form
carbonic oxide, and hydrogen is Hber-
ated. Up to this point there is nothing
new in the process. But now these
gases are led away to a second retort
6lledwith Jumps of some refractory sub
stance maintained at a red heat. The
use of refractory materials is toexpose a
large surface to the incoming gases.
Into this second retort there Is led at
the same time a jet of steam superheat-
ed to the point of dlsassociatlon. The
oxygen of this steam seiZes upon the
carbonic-oxide to form dioxide, and
more hydrogen Is liberated. To re-
move the carbon-dioxide the gases are
passed through the milk of lime, and
the pure hydrogen is led away to the re-
seTvoir. The authors Of the commun-
ication say that one ton of coke pro-
duces about 90, 900 feet of gas, which IS
about eleven times the quantity Oh
tanned from a ton of coal, which re-
duces the cost of the gas to a very low
6gure-very little indeed, it may be
supposed, above the cost of natural gas,
when the difficulty of controlling the
gas is taken into account.
