An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Albertite is a variety of asphalt found in the Albert Formation in Albert County, New Brunswick, and in a deposit at Dingwall, in the north-east of Scotland. It is a type of solid hydrocarbon. Albertite has a black colour, a resinous luster, and a hardness of 2½. It is less soluble in turpentine than the usual type of asphalt. It was from a mixture of albertite and pitch that kerosene was first distilled in 1846 by Abraham Gesner, a New Brunswick geologist who had heard stories of rocks that burned in the area and gave the material its first scientific study.

  • Albertiet is een type asfalt dat gevonden wordt in , New Brunswick. Het is een donkerzwarte variëteit en is minder oplosbaar in terpentijn dan normaal asfalt. Het is de enig bekende vaste petroleumbron. Oorspronkelijk werd van albertiet kerosine gemaakt. Het werd voor het eerst grondig bestudeerd door de van New Brunswick afkomstige geoloog , die gehoord had dat gesteenten uit de omgeving konden branden. (nl)
  • Albertita é um tipo de asfalto encontrado no Condado de Albert, Nova Brunswick, Canadá. É um tipo de hidrocarboneto sólido. A albertita tem uma variedade de tons de preto brilhante, e é menos solúvel na terebentina do que o asfalto comum. Inicialmente o querosene era refinado a partir da albertita. Foi estudada primeiramente pelo geólogo de Nova Brunswick, Abraham Gesner, que tinha ouvido histórias de pedras que queimavam na região. (pt)
