What is the difference between coal tar, coke and coal gas?
COAL TAR: Coal tar is a foul smelling,dark brown liquid. On fractional distillation it furnishes a number of useful organic compounds that are used for making dyes and explosives.
COKE: Coke is an amorphous form of carbon. It is a black,porous,solid substance that burns without smoke. It contains about 98% carbon. It is a good reducing agent and a bad conductor of heat and electricity. Coke is prepared by the destructive distillation of coal.
COAL GAS: Purified coal gas is used as an industrial and a household fuel.
