JHCC Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 But then you could have your coke and eat it too! Quote
JHCC Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Then there's the scene in "The Usual Suspects" where Gabriel Byne's character declares rather forcefully the absence of cocaine on the ship they're searching. I can't repeat it here, as I'll be banned, but it's memorable. Quote
Anachronist58 Posted October 23, 2017 Author Posted October 23, 2017 Thanks to All for chiming, your posts are nearly rhyming, but now I must confess, that the OP more or less, is a joke concerning Coke, but not. For the sake of transparency, I have yet to forge with this material, but I intend to before Spring. So the earnest question is: Does anyone know whether Asphalt Pavement is more noxious in the forge than Bituminous Coal, both being based on Bitumen? Guaranteed, there will be some OUTRAGEOUS Clinker! Thanks for your consideration, Robert Taylor Quote
ThomasPowers Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Asphalt is much more noxious than coal as you might consider it made of the stuff you drive off of coal to use it. So when you drive it off the asphalt what is left? Quote

More study on my end, and will look into scrubbing the exhaust. I note that Asphalt Bitumen is derived from Petroleum, as opposed to Coal Bitumen. I had understood that the Asphalt Bitumen was the result of driving off many of the Volatile Aromatics, as when we coke our coal. Granted, Asphalt Bitumen retains more elastic polymers (long chains) than Coal, I believe, But how many and how much harmful products do we exhaust when forging with coal? Robert Taylor Quote
ThomasPowers Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 we are basically getting rid of the coal tars when we coke coal Quote

ThomasPowers Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 A coke and a simile? As you like it! Quote
