illuminationgas
Illumination gas, also known as town gas, is a type of manufactured gas that was historically used for lighting and heating purposes. It is produced by the destructive distillation of coal, a process that involves heating coal in the absence of air to produce a mixture of gases, primarily hydrogen and carbon monoxide. This mixture is then purified and compressed to form illumination gas.
The primary components of illumination gas are hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane, and small amounts of other
The production of illumination gas was a significant industry in many countries, contributing to urban development
Illumination gas had several advantages, including its relatively low cost and the ability to be produced locally
