English

Subject field(s)
  • Coal Gasification
  • Gas Industry
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Anti-pollution Measures
CONT

Steam reforming of natural gas is the most common mode of production. It provides grey hydrogen from natural gas at a low cost. It is also possible to convert coal into gas to produce brown hydrogen, from lignite, or black hydrogen, from anthracite.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Gazéification des charbons
  • Industrie du gaz

  • Mesures antipollution
CONT

Le vaporeformage du gaz naturel est le mode de production le plus répandu. Il permet d’obtenir de l'hydrogène gris, produit à partir de gaz naturel, et ce, à faible coût. Il est également possible de transformer du charbon en gaz pour produire un hydrogène brun, à partir de lignite, ou noir, à partir d’anthracite.

L'hydrogène noir [...] est produit par gazéification du charbon(traitement thermochimique à des températures très élevées). L'hydrogène est dit «noir» pour le charbon bitumineux et «brun» pour le lignite.

Record 3 2016-06-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Classification of Coal
CONT

Lignite, generally yellow to dark brown or rarely black coal that formed from peat at shallow depths and temperatures lower than 100 °C (212 °F). It is the first product of coalification and is intermediate between peat and subbituminous coal according to the coal classification used in the United States and Canada.

OBS

The term "brown coal" can also refer to a broader group of low-rank coals which includes lignite and subbituminous coal.

OBS

lignite coal: term standardized by Environment Canada and the Translation Bureau for use in the Air Pollutant Emission Inventory Report.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Classification des charbons
DEF

Charbon fossile, d’aspect ligneux ou terreux, noir ou brun, contenant 65 à 75 % de carbone, intermédiaire entre la tourbe et la houille.

OBS

lignite : terme normalisé par Environnement Canada et le Bureau de la traduction dans le cadre de l’Inventaire des émissions de polluants atmosphériques.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Clasificación del carbón
DEF

Carbón color pardo terroso, con restos fibrosos, originado fundamentalmente durante la Era Terciaria. Se originó, como la hulla, por descomposición anaerobia de materias vegetales.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Paints and Varnishes (Industries)
DEF

A naturally occurring pigment [derived from] indefinite mixtures of iron oxide and organic matter.

OBS

Like Cologne and Cassel Earth, it is a native earth, composed of clay, iron oxide, decomposed vegetation (humus), and bitumen. Fairly transparent. Deep-toned and less chalky than umbers in mixtures. One of the worst driers in oil. Some specimens fade, and in oil this pigment always turns dark, cracks, and causes wrinkling, exhibiting the same defects as asphaltum, but to a somewhat lesser degree. Not for permanent oil painting. Some of the lightproof grades may be used in watercolor and pastel. [It] dates from the seventeenth century.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Peintures et vernis (Industries)
CONT

Le brun de cassel est un pigment qui est encore utilisé : il s’agit d’un charbon de couleur brune, finement moulu, extrait d’exploitation à ciel ouvert.

«Lignites bruns, proprement dits». - La teneur en eau est de 28 p. 100 et davantage.

CONT

L’une des meilleures classifications de détail [des lignites] est celle de Desrousseaux (1938) qui distingue : 1) lignites noirs brillants [...]. 2) lignites bruns mats [...] qui sont des lignites peu évolués, en général récents, facilement altérables à l’air. Ils se subdivisent en : - lignites foncés, sépia [...];- lignites bruns proprement dits [...]; - lignites bruns terreux [...]

CONT

Le lignite est un charbon le plus souvent brunâtre ou d’un noir terne et mat, parfois d’aspect terreux, souvent friable : lignite brun, lignite sépia.
