Satisfactory Foundry Coke May Be Produced in Kansas--P.F. Walker
Basis for Belief of Statement Placed in Recent Tests by Research Bureau
"Experiments by the chemical industrial research bureau so far, however, have indicated only the practicability and desirability of further tests. A semi-commercial plant, costing possibly $10,000, should be erected, with which it could be shown whether or not the Kansas coal, which appears to have the chemical characteristics of coal, would drive the physical structure which would render it suitable for metallurallic purposes.
"It seems likely that coke suitable for ordinary fire purposes can be produced, but it is not likely that coke suitable for blast furnace use in the smelting of iron ore would be forthcoming.
"The chemical research bureau has performed a real service in demonstrating these possibilities. Its work involves the University of Illinois laboratories, out of which grew the coke and allied industries now developing
"Recent tests by the chemical industrial research bureau of the University have given grounds for a belief that a satisfactory foundry coke might possibly be produced from Kansas coal," according to Dean F. P. Walker of the School of Engineering.
"The indications point toward in-dustrial possibilities, but those are to be taken in moderation, with a view to future development," he wrote of the business," said Dean Walker.
If such a ackle could be produced from Kansas coal, it would ocean a different future for Kansas along metal manufacturing lines.
"If a satisfactory foundry coke could be produced from Kansas coal it would be of great and direct benefit to the foundry business and other lines of manufacturing in which steel and iron are employed," said Dean Walker, in a statement given out this morning.
