The microscopy of coal and coke is emphasized and the effects of operating variables on coke microstructure and macrostructure are discussed. History of coke making Coke was an article of commerce among the Chinese over 2000 years ago. It was used in the arts and for domestic purposes but not in great quantities.
An important problem at an integrated steelproducing plant is the blending of different types of coals to make coke for the blast furnace operation. Historically, linear blending models were not appropriate because coal properties important for both optimum cokemaking and blast furnace operation do not combine linearly and are not completely understood. In this paper, a solution methodology ...

Introduction Coke is one of the most important raw materials in the steel industry. It can be used to provide heat for melting slag and metal (as fuel), reduce iron ore to elemental iron (as a reduction agent), and maintain permeability in blast furnaces (as a permeable support) [8], [35], [39], [42].

1. Introduction. Coke serves as the structural support, fuel, reducing agent, and carburizer in blast furnaces [1, 2].As ironmaking technologies advance, blast furnaces tend to be larger with higher rates of pulverized coal injection (PCI), a trend that raises higher requirements for coke quality [].As a response, exploring the mechanism of coke deterioration in blast furnaces is important ...

All coals, regardless of whether they are caking or coking coals, leave a solid carbonaceous residue at the end of the carbonization process. Chars, if heattreated to extreme temperatures, ≥2500 °C, do not form graphite, while cokes do. That is, chars are nongraphitizable, while cokes are graphitizable [A]. Type.

Pyrolysis is a process during which coal is devolatilized in an inert environment to form tar, gas, and char. Fig. 3 shows a hypothetical structure of coal during primary and secondary ...
As a result, the nonrecovery coke making process has allowed usage of coal blends as low in reflectance as % to as high reflectance as % to produce coke of similar hot and cold strength ...
Coke is basically a solid residue from the destructive distillation of coal. However, coke making is a multistep complex process and present coking scenario is a result of series of development that has taken place since the latter half of 19th century. Starting from beehive oven the present day coke oven is a result of continuous effort to
The second step in coke production is to process the raw material, coal, into a consistency appropriate for coke oven achieve this consistency, coal is pulverized in a crusher and, if necessary, mixed with water and oil to control the density of the pulverized coal mixture. A basic diagram of the most common coke making process ...
The idea of this paper is to properly utilize Indian lowrank coking coal (semicoking coal) with the blending of highrank imported coals and to reduce the overall cost of coke making. The blending of the coals has been done in two phases. Effect of blending mass ratio on the swelling index and plasticity parameters has been studied. The effect of maceral content, vitrinite reflectance, and ...
Coke from coal is grey, hard, and porous and has a heating value of MJ/kg. Some cokemaking processes produce byproducts, including coal tar, ammonia, light oils, and coal gas. Petroleum coke (petcoke) is the solid residue obtained in oil refining, which resembles coke but contains too many impurities to be useful in metallurgical ...
To help in building a recyclingoriented sustainable society, Nippon Steel Sumitomo Metal Corporation developed a waste plasticrecycling process using coke oven and put it into commercial operation in 2000. Now roughly 200,000 tons per year of waste plastics are processed in coke oven in Japan. In this process, the waste plastics collected from households are agglomerated to the sizes ...

One of the important technical subjects in blast furnace cokemaking is deterioration of hard coking coal quality. 1) In order to cope with this, various technologies to utilize semisoft coking coals by increasing coal charge bulk density in slottype coke ovens have been developed or commercialized such as dry coal charging process (CMC (Coal Moisture Control) 2) and DAPS (Drycleaned and ...
lowering of the coke:iron ratio used in the blast furnace (e. g., increased use of pulverized coal injection). There were 18 coke plants operating in the U. S. in 2007. Process Description19, 16, 194 Most coke is produced in the U. S. using the "byproduct" process, and three plants used a "nonrecovery" process in 2007. The ...
Coking coal is an important raw material for coke production. In this study, in an inert atmosphere, two Chinese coking coal samples were, respectively, heated gradually to 1200 °C to release volatile and form char and coke in succession, then cooled naturally to close room temperature to age the coke. The whole heating and cooling process on carbonization were monitored in situ by ...
The blended coal mass is heated for 12 to 20 hours for metallurgical coke. Thermal energy from the walls of the coke chamber heats the coal mass by conduction from the sides to the middle of the coke chamber. During the coking process, the charge is in direct contact with the heated wall surfaces and develops into an aggregate "plastic zone".
Metallurgical coke is produced from lowash, lowsulfur coking coals in the coking process involving devolatilization and carbonization at ~ °C in airless ovens over 1820 h. Volatile hydrocarbon byproducts are later used to generate energy in separate combustion processes. Due to the limited supply and high costs of highgrade ...
Blending of noncoking coals above 20% with the hard coking coals used in this research decreases the blend fluidity and impairs the coke quality. It was seen that the coals lose their fluidity on weathering, and the value becomes less than half after a two months of storage at site. Weathering appears to be more rapid in case of semisoft than ...
Process Charging the blast furnace 1 After processing, the ore is blended with other ore and goes to the blast furnace. A blast furnace is a towershaped structure, made of steel, and lined with refractory, or heatresistant bricks. The mixture of raw material, or charge, enters at the top of the blast furnace.
Biomass addition to coal blend during cokemaking and its influence on the product coke quality is discussed. The partial and complete substitution of coke breeze with biochar in sintering process and its influence on the product sinter quality is explained. The impact of charcoal top charging or injection into blast furnace has been elaborated.
Most cement kilns today use coal and petroleum coke as primary fuels, and to a lesser extent natural gas and fuel oil. Selected waste and byproducts with recoverable calorific value can be used as fuels in a cement kiln (referred to as coprocessing), replacing a portion of conventional fossil fuels, like coal, if they meet strict specifications.
Iron ore (largely iron oxide), coke (coal that has been heated to drive out impurities), and limestone get placed in the furnace, where the coke reacts with the iron and air to form a high carbon iron known as "pig iron" (so named because historically the iron flowing down a trench into a series of casting molds resembled a pigs suckling ...
Metrics Abstract The coal blends are used for both top and stamped charged coke oven batteries in Steel Plants which are consists of more than 5 to 7 individual coal sources depending upon the availability of coking coal. The blast furnace (BF) coke produced from the coke oven batteries are feed into both small and larger BF.
Optimizing coal blending is important for highquality development of coking industries, among which deep understanding of relationships between coal characteristics and coke quality is critical.

In the coking process, the colloid released from coals could enhance the bond among coal particles. The cold tamping technology can improve the coke quality effectively.
The coal blend quality and process control of coke making technologies is an important lever to produce quality coke with optimal cost. Apart from impacting cost, this improves the CO2 footprint.
The iron and steel industry uses petcoke as a feedstock blending with coking coal during the coke making process. The industry only uses lowsulphur (< per cent) imported petcoke with a blending limit of 15 per cent as the presence of sulphur is detrimental to steel quality. Increase in the sulphur content would require additional ...
