Talk:Blau gas

Chemical composition
Why's there nothing on the chemical composition? --64.180.8.4 (talk) 03:17, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * maybe the authors don't know the composition. Feel free to write it in yourself! SyBer WoLff 03:18, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Ambiguous or misleading statement
"Blaugas contains about 50% olefins (37% methane and other alkanes), 6% hydrogen and air. "

This makes little sense. Is this supposed to mean, 50% olefins ( unsaturated hydrocarbons ),  and 37% methane and other alkans,  and 6% hydrogen,  and therefore about 7% other things. If this is the correct description, then the parenthesis is spurious and misleading.

Or is the section in parenthesis supposed to be a description of what the 50% "olefins" consists of ?Eregli bob (talk) 20:46, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Color
Blau gas is not blue, but has a rather water-like color.

 * Blue, in fact. Since the gas is named for Hermann Blau and not for the German word for blue, he sentence is utterly nonsensical. &#9798; CUSH &#9798; 20:58, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Candlepower
"The heat of combustion is 122 MJ/m3 with a candle power of 3000 Hefner candles [3] (about 2710 candelas)."

The candela claim makes no sense. Its derived from a failure to understand the text referenced. A given burner was tested to find relative light outputs of different gases - to claim one gas produces so many candelas without any further specification is as informative as saying one human produces one litre of urine.

liquefied naphtha
According to the Wikipedia naphtha link given in the article, naphtha is a liquid. So it can't be compressed to a liquid, and when released doesn't become a gas. And if it is a gas, and becomes a gas, then Blau gas would be naphtha...

So somehow, what we have here is just wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.147.142.144 (talk) 11:08, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
