Method to render petroleum nonflammable by chemical treatment
Leo Revue Lidustrielle outlines a process using 250 gallons of petroleum with 550 pounds of common salt heated to 100 C yields about 60 gallons of volatile benzines. The remaining petroleum gains dampening properties, while additives chloride of calcium bromide and sulfate of dignesia increase illumination. Combining 190 gallons with 3875 gallons of crude petroleum, heating to 300 C, cooling to 40 C, readding 60 gallons of benzine, and heating to 85 C makes fuel nonflammable below 76 degrees.
