  Gas Lamp Mantles for Gaslite Outdoor Gas Yard Lamps - Easy Living Home Systems
The mantle is fixed over an orifice carrying a flammable gas such as natural gas, coal gas, propane, or vaporized benzene or other fuel.
When the gas is ignited, the mantle fabric burns away, leaving a brittle residual lattice of metal oxides.
Patented in 1885, the Welsbach mantle greatly improved gas lighting and, although largely supplanted by the incandescent lamp, is still widely used in kerosene and other lanterns.

  Gas mantle   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The gas mantle was one of the many inventions of Auer von Welsbach, a chemist who studied rare earth elements in the 1880s.
To produce a mantle guncotton is impregnated with the mixture and then heated; the cotton burns away leaving a solid (but fragile) mesh of ash.
The gas mantle remained an important part of street lighting until the widespread introduction of electric lighting in the early 1900s.

 Heading
Gas mantles appeared on the scene in 1887 after Carl Auer, a chemist at Bunsen's laboratory in Heidleburg, discovered by accident that asbestos soaked in "rare earth" compounds gave an intense glow when heated by a gas flame.
The quality of gas mantles improved over the years however and they were used in street lighting in London for the first time in 1895.
The last of Birmingham's gas lights were removed in 1975 and with one or two notable exceptions such as the frontage of Buckingham Palace, gas lights are only used in caravans, boats and building sites with a bottled gas supply.

 Helium, Neon & Argon
The hot-accretion model of Earth evolution contrasts with the “standard model” of noble gas geochemistry that assumes that the bulk of the mantle accreted in a primordial undegassed state with chondritic, or cosmic, abundances of the noble gas elements.
So-called primitive ratios of noble gas isotopes may be preserved by ancient separation of He and Ne from U+Th and storage of the gas in low-U+Th environments such as depleted lithosphere or olivine cumulates (Anderson, 1998a, 1998b; Natland, 2003).
The amount of K in the crust and mantle may be estimated by calculating the mix of mantle and crustal components that satisfies the cosmic ratios of the refractory elements (Anderson, 1989).

 Gas lighting Summary
Gas could be piped from place to place, which was much easier than lugging tons of coal around, and gas flames were easier to ignite and to control by simply adjusting the gas flow to the burners.
Gas lighting is the process of burning piped natural gas or coal gas for illumination.
In 1798 he used gas to light the main building of the Soho Foundry and in 1802 lit the outside in a public display of gas lighting, the lights astonishing the local population.

 Lighting A Revolution: 19th Century Competition
In 1816 gas streetlights went into service in Baltimore, and by the time of Edison's 1879 lamp invention, gas lighting was a mature, well-established industry.
The gas infrastructure was in place, franchises had been granted, and manufacturing facilities for both gas and equipment were in profitable operation.
Gas proved a tough competitor since infrastructure already existed, whereas electric light could not be used until generating plants were built and wires were strung.

 Gas Works
Then in 1858 the Hayfield Gas Co was formed it supplied gas for street lighting in the village as well as for domestic and industrial use.
Gas was produced by 'cooking' coal in a airtight container, producing Gas, Tar and Coke.
The gas produced by this method was full of impurities and had to be cleaned before it could be used for lighting.

 v11b in fm05
Enhanced concentrations of subducted recycled volatiles into the plume source are suggested by numerical models of mantle convection (Ballentine et al., 2005b) and also account for the lower ratio of radiogenic to non-radiogenic heavy noble gas isotopes, higher water content and variable deuterium abundances in ocean island basalts.
The hard sphere model also allows studying how a noble gas atom or a CO molecule dissolves into a silicate melt, a process governed by the equality of the solute chemical potentials in the melt and gas phase at equilibrium at T and P. The chemical potential consists of an entropic and an energetic contribution.
This view is consistent with a recent modelling of the helium isotopic variations in the mantle which concluded to whole mantle convection and degassing during the first half of the Earth's history (Class and Golstein, 2005).

 Helium Fundamentals
It was suggested that they were indicative of a lower mantle component, since Hawaii was postulated to be underlain by a plume, and plumes were assumed to originate in the lower mantle to explain the apparent fixity of hotspots [Morgan, 1971].
He being degassed from the mantle is from mid-ocean ridges and island arcs.
For example, the mantle today might contain regions where R/Ra varies from, say, 1 to 100, but the variation in MORB might be no more than 5 to 10 simply as a result of sampling and homogenising.

 Micrographia Article: The Ideal Microscope Lamp. Page 1. Background.   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Until then, the only possible light sources were either daylight, gas mantle lamps, limelight, or some variant of the oil lamp.
The spot was produced by directing a narrow flame of hydrogen and oxygen at a block of calcium (the lime) which burnt away in the process, necessitating constant adjustment.
Light is generated in this lamp by using coal gas to heat a mantle, this being a fabric bag impregnated with the nitrate salts of cerium and thorium (or beryllium, aluminum, magnesium) placed over the flame.

 Aladdin Mantle Info @ Survival Unlimited .com   (Site not responding. Last check: )
An individual's exposure to radiation in using a gas mantle is almost infinitesimal compared with the radiation that he or she receives every day from natural sources just by being outside.
We hope these facts will convince you, as it has the appropriate regulating agencies, that gas mantles are an insignificant source of radiation whose benefits far outweigh the minimal radiation levels associated with them.
I believe that old and new mantles are virtually the same composition, since it seems that the Welsbach-discovered formula has not been improved upon.

The RI/FS revealed that significant quantities of radiologically contaminated soil were present at both the former Welsbach and General Gas Mantle plants and that there were elevated levels of radiation inside the former General Gas Mantle building.
USEPA demolished the General Gas Mantle building in 2000 and is conducting Remedial Designs for the soil cleanup actions at the plant sites and the Vicinity properties.
