← HistoryWhich consequence resulted in Byzantine silk production using charcoal furnaces?
A)Reduced fabric bleaching requirement
B)Improved temperature process control✓
C)Brighter dye-shade illumination
D)Enhanced heat-exchanger efficiency
💡 Explanation
Byzantine furnaces used charcoal because the chemical kinetics slowed undesirable side reactions due to precise temperature control in dyeing, therefore, fabric quality increased, rather than relying on bleaching needing a brighter light or using heat-exchanger efficiency.
