I ' ^‘JIRACLBS 1 7 American Chemists Have Accomplished the Wonders Which Ancient Chemists Strived for by the Utilization of Coal Tar By-Products — (Told In Eight Sketches) By JOHN RAYMONO — No. IV THE ALCHEMISTS DREAM

Through the literature of the ancients runs the absorbing story of the alchemist’s patient search for the touchstone which would transform all base metals into pure gold, and the never-ending quest for the elixir which would restore youth to the aged and I would cure all human ills. The alchemist, driven from cellar to garret and often put to death, had an elemental knowledge of chemistry and vaguely dreamed that it .could be made to perform wonders. I It was Ben Jonson’s alchemist, Subtle, back in the early seventeenth ! century who planned “to change all that is in my house to gold, and early in the morning to send to all the plumbers and pewterers and buy their ' tin and lead up; and to Lothbury for all the copper.’’ And more than that, by means of this magic elixir, in eight and twenty days he planned to transform an old man of four score into a prattling child. j' Certainly, chemistry has hot succeeded in performing these marvels. ' The philosopher’s stone still is an unknown quantity to science, buried, perhaps, with the pot of gold at the rainbow’s end, and the elixir of youth is as deeply hidden as on that far-off day [when De Soto set forth so bravely from Spain to find it in the new world. ;But chemistry has accomplished wonders by the utilization of coal tar byproducts which contribute to every 'phase of our daily life. Take the fairy glass of the chemist and look into this rather uninteresting substance —coal. We put a kettle of it over a fire and we see leaving at various times what the chemist calls the Crudes-benzone, toluene, xylene, napthalene, phenol, • anthracene, carbazol, and some others. 'But these are the most important. Some are clear liquids, some are 1 • —i beautiful crystals.

but all are brought out of the black coal tar by tTie magician’s wand, which is simply fractional distillation; that is, catch- :. g and condensing the vapors given off at various temperatures. Now, what of the crudes? Add nitric acid, or any one of hundreds of chemi-

DYE WORKS|

cals, and either heat or cool as the case may be, and we get a host of other compounds described as interme di a t e s. Although some of the crudes and many of the inter me d iates are useful as such, the real development begins with the chemical treatment of the intermediates. With many

of these intermediates, one line of treatment will produce drugs, another high explosives, another poison gases, still other perfumes, food flavors and photographic materials. Some have varying peace and war time uses without further treatment. It should be noted that some of these crudes require as many as fifteen manipulations to produce a given compound and in each manipulation a by-product is produced which again must be made into something useful in order to avoid waste. It is because of this treatment and retreatment of coal, crudes- and intermediates that it is so easy to convert a dye plant into a factory for the production of high explosives or poisonous gases almost over night. Germany was indeed farsighted, back in 1859, when she took advantage of Perkin’s discovery, and began the development of a gigantic dye industry so that she might never be without the crudes and intermediates so essential to success in war or peace. Germany developed the synthetic dve industry, just as she developed other industries, to create employment and wealth for her millions. But through these developments she learned the value of chemistry, of chemicals, and of chemists themselves. She real- ( ized early how dependent her peace development was on chemistry and t she soon saw the value of chemical industries to war. Germany saw that the manufacture of dyes required much chemical research and also that dye making made use of the waste products from the coke ovens, themselves a necessity to her iron and steel industry. She saw its value in the production of explosives, gases and fer- ; tilizers for her fields. This foresight : gave Germany a forty year start on the United States, and the rest of the • world.
