Abstract
"An assumption was made that an increase in moisture content in the sand would result in an increase in the amount of volatile matter retained in a sand, clay, water, and sea coal mixture which had been subjected to the heat of molten iron. Because of a lack of positive evidence to support this assumption, it was concluded that the volatile matter retained within the sample is independent of the moisture content.
It was also shown that the volatile products do not travel back through the sand, away from the mold-metal interface. Rather, the volatiles escape from the sand and are present as a thin film of gas between the metal and the mold"--Abstract.
