Consul Wallace Goteborg) The present scarcity of fucl in Swe- den, especially for traffic and indus- trial needs, has brought forth J. Young, many Plans for production of substitutes for | foal and a better utilization of do- mestic fuels, especially the vast de- osits Of peat. I'xperiments with the manufacture of ordinary peat fuel, peat powder, peat coke, peat gas, and the like have been continued. The latest effort in this direction is ‘mentioned in the ‘‘Goteborgs Handels och Sjofarts Tidning,” Goteborg, for | ‘November 1, 1917, in an article the | translation of which follows: | ‘“The organization instrument has lately been filed for a company in | Malmo, the purpose of which is to j produce peat coke and by-products J according to methods invented by Dr. | W. Wielandt. The capital stock, which || is to be not less than 5,000,000 crowns ($1,340,000) and not more than 15,- 000,000 crowns ($4,020,000), has al- ready been subscribed privately. The Wielandt method originated in 1902, when two German ent; Prof. Paul Hoering and Dr. W. W landt, commenced, in Oldenburg, their extensive investigations regarding the chemistry of peat, which up to that time had been almost unknown. On the basis of the experiences gained by the analyses in the laboratory experi- ments, the first factory for peat destil- lation was built at Elisabethfehn in 1905. There were regularly produced coke and by-products, such as sul- phate of ammonia, wood alcohol, acet- {ic acid, tar, motor oils, lubricating | oils, creosote, paraffin (soft for match | factories, hard for candle factories) | and asphalt (pitch). Further, the | peat gases were economically taken care of for production of power (elec- tric) and for heating of the ovens and { distilling retorts. | “The coke that can be produced by | the Wielandt system is an excellent fuel with about twice the caloric value of ordinary peat fuel or peat powder. It burns without smoke and with lit- tle draft, and leaves no slag. It is therefore an excelient household fuel, and can, alone or mixed with charcoal, be used in the production of high- grade iron. It is considered to be especially useful in the electric smelt- ing of iron. “The cost of production is low, ow- ing to the value of the by-products obtained. In manufacturing on a large scale, the cost price will probably be from 10 to 12 crowns $2.68 to $3.22) per ton. “The by-products piay an impart- ant part; for instance, the creosote. which is used for the preservation of wood (railroad ties, etc.), and the other by-products, such as oils, para- fiin, etc., are equally important. | Improved Peat Producing Methods. | “The chief requisite for an economic production is a sufficient quantity of air-dried peat at a low price. In us- ing the Wielandt automatic excavat- ing machines not more than 80 men are required for an annual production of 100,000 tons of air-dried peat. Otherwise a force of 804 men would be required for the same production Mr. John Hallmen, the manager of the Government Peat School, who has seen the Wielandt establishments and has thoroughly studied the system, states that this method ought to be of assistance in solving the peat ques- tion in Sweden, especially as the by- products obtained arc of great impor- | tance to this country. These by-prod uets can be obtained in such quantiti that they ought to be a considerable contribution toward the supplies need- ed in this line. “There are in Sweden more than 5.- 000,000 hectares (12,3 peat bogs. If it be calculated only 2 per cent. of these were suitable ' for the Wielaindt industry, this would give 200,000 hectares (49,209 acres) net. If the bogs be calculated to be to 3 meters (8.2 to 9.8 feet) deep, about 1,000,000,000 tons of air-dried | peat can be dug from them. If = profit of only 20 crowns ($5.36) per | ton were gained in utilizing the Wi landt method, this would vield a d TO THE FLOWER LOVING PUBLIC OF NEW BRITAIN We are publishing a monthly magazine entitled “Floral Maga- zine”, which we are issuing to the public free of charge once a month.

In the petition for the concession it is pointed out that since the beds are estimated as being from 15 to 18 centimeters 5.9 to 7.01 inches) in depth, from 2,000 to 2,400 tons of coal can be obtained per hectare (2.47 acres). At the same time, however, it is estimated that the slate runs about | 27,000 tons to the hectare. Under the present conditions the cost of produc- tion is placed at from 31.25 to 37.50 crowns ($8.38 to $10.05) per ton. This, howeve hile prohibitive for noi- mal times, below the current price of coal While it is estimated that the out- put will suffice only for local use, an- if the coal show its ashes to con- tain a high percentage of vanadious acid, from which can be obtained me- tallic vanadium. Before the war the price of this metal, in alloy, was 25 crowns per kilo ($3.04 per pound). Last summer it was quoted at 100 crowns per kilo. $12.16 per pound). Tt | vanadium for its own steel production, is calculated that 2 kilos (4.4 pounds) of vanadium can be obtained per ton of coal dug, and it is therefore lclt that the working of these fields will be profitable. Further, if an econom- ical reduction method be devised, it is believed that through these vanadium for its own stel production, surplus for be independent with possibly some portation, and thereb of foreign manufacturers of vanadium, who demand an excessive price.
