Thomas See also:Graham, the See also:professor of See also:chemistry, See also:chose him as lecture assistant in 1832. About 1839, on the recommendation of Graham, whom in 1837 he had accompanied to University College, See also:London, he was appointed chemist at James See also:Muspratt's See also:alkali See also:works in See also:Lancashire; in connexion with alkali he showed that See also:cast-See also:iron vessels could be satisfactorily substituted for See also:silver in the manufacture of See also:caustic soda, and worked out improvements in the See also:production of chlorate of potash. But his name is best known in connexion with the See also:establishment of the Scottish See also:mineral-oil See also:industry. In 1847 Lyon See also:Playfair informed him of a See also:spring of See also:petroleum which had made its See also:appearance at See also:Ridding's Colliery at See also:Alfreton in See also:Derbyshire, and in the following See also:year he began to utilize it for making both burning and lubricating See also:oils. This spring was practically exhausted by 1851. It had served to draw Young's See also:attention to the question of oil-production, and in 1850 he took out his fundamental patent for the See also:distillation of bituminous substances. This was soon put into operation in See also:Scotland, first with the Boghead See also:coal or Torbanehill mineral, and later with bituminous shales, and though he had to See also:face much litigation Young successfully employed it in the manufacture of See also:naphtha and lubricating oils, and subsequently of See also:illuminating oils and See also:paraffin See also:wax, until in 1866, after the patent had expired, he transferred his works to a limited See also:company. In 1872 he suggested the use of caustic See also:lime to prevent the corrosion of iron See also:ships by the See also:bilge See also:water, which he noticed was See also:acid, and in 1878 he began a determination of the velocity of See also:- WHITE
