Atkinson (William John Atkinson) Butterfield, William John Atkinson Acetylene, the Principles of Its Generation and Use A Practical Handbook on the Production, Purification, and Subsequent Treatment of Acetylene for the Development of Light, Heat, and Power Produced by Richard Prairie, Tonya Allen, Juliet Sutherland, Charles Franks, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Acetylene, the Principles of Its Generation and Use" by F. H. Leeds and W. J. Atkinson Butterfield is a scientific publication likely written in the early 20th century. This practical handbook delves into the generation, purification, and utilization of acetylene gas, particularly for lighting, heat, and power applications, presenting a thorough examination of its physical and chemical properties, advantages over other illuminants, and the practical aspects of using acetylene in various contexts. At the start of the book, the authors outline the intrinsic and hygienic advantages of acetylene lighting compared to traditional illuminants like oil and coal gas. They highlight its superior illuminating power and less impact on air quality due to lower exhaust levels when combusted. The text also includes critical insights into the economic considerations of acetylene systems, emphasizing their compactness and cost efficiency in specific scenarios where traditional gas supplies might be less viable. The first chapter sets the stage for a more in-depth exploration of the chemistry behind acetylene's production from calcium carbide and water, suggesting an emphasis on both the technical and practical applications of acetylene lighting.
