The distillation of coal for the production of gas, coke and the tarry materials used for the manufacture of dyes and organic chemicals results in a watery waste known as ammoniacal gas liquor, and the disposal of this is a cause of pollution. Ammoniacal gas liquor contains free ammonia, ammonium salts, cyanide, sulphide, thiocyanate, and a variety of aromatic compounds including pyridine, phenols, cresols and xylenols.... Gas liquor, discharged untreated to a stream, has an extremely high oxygen demand, many times greater than that of sewage. 1, record 1, English, - ammoniacal%20gas%20liquor

Coke production has been declining due to the associated environmental clean-up issues. Over 25 million tons of metallurgical coal are used to produce 18 million tons of coke. Each ton of coke produced requires 1. 37 tons of coal. In the wet quench process most common in the U. S., 0. 6 million Btu of steam is required per ton of coke for chemical recovery. In the dry quench process, enough heat is recovered in quenching to provide all of the steam requirements of the process and provide some steam for export as well. 1, record 5, English, - steam%20requirement
