Abstract
Combustion processes leading to the formation of valuable products of chemical technology and metallurgy – acetylene, carbon black, starting materials for acid manufacture, metal oxides, ferro-alloys, refractory compounds, etc. – are surveyed with emphasis on the possibilities and the advantages of combustion as a technical chemical procedure. Prospects for the widespread utilisation of combustion processes in chemical technology and metallurgy are examined on the basis of specific examples. Certain aspects of the development of combustion theory in connection with technical problems are discussed.
A list of 78 references is included.
