Although a significant amount of coal is used in the COREX process, 1020% of metallurgical coke is required for heat generation, reducing gas production, and maintaining char bed permeability. The coke quality required for the COREX process is shown in Table 7.
Metallurgical coal or coking coal [1] is a grade of coal that can be used to produce goodquality coke. Coke is an essential fuel and reactant in the blast furnace process for primary steelmaking. [2] [3] [4] The demand for metallurgical coal is highly coupled to the demand for steel. Primary steelmaking companies often have a division that ...
Metallurgical Coke, Other Coke, and ByProducts In its function as a metallurgical fuel, coke is a key material in the industrial process. The development of this fuel and its primary purpose is the need of a satisfactory smelting fuel. Today, its usefulness goes far beyond the need for smelting. Coke is used as a domestic
More attention is paid to ironmaking as the most energy consuming segment of the process chain. For example, blast furnace ironmaking including sintering and coking plants consumes about 6575% of the entire energy at an integrated steelworks (ca. 1112 GJ/t hot metal) (Babich, 2009).Both direct and indirect coal use, in the form of coke, is presented.
A number of coal parameters are used in coal selection for metallurgical applications. This chapter focuses mainly on coal parameters for use in cokemaking and pulverised coal injection for the integrated iron and steelmaking process. Parameters for use in alternative ironmaking processes such as Corex® and other coalbased smelting reduction technologies are also discussed.
The coalification rank of the coal blend components and their caking properties initially impact the coke's quality. In part, the quality of coke depends on the technological parameters of the coke production technology, such as the method of blend preparation, the coking condition, the design features of the coke ovens, and the technique used for postoven treatment. Therefore, to improve ...
In fact, addition of 2 to 10 % biochar to the coal blend, reduces 15 % of CO 2 emission in the steel industry which it values ton CO 2/ton crude steel [31]. Furthermore, by reducing the biochar's particle size, the CSR and CRI of the coke decline but fluidity slightly improve.

Coal as an essential raw material in different metallurgical processes is discussed, emphasizing the functions of metallurgical coke in ironmaking via the blast furnace.
In addition to providing most of the reaction heat and being used as ore reducing agent, coke plays the most important role as the material column skeleton in the blast furnace smelting process [1,2,3].Coke quality not only affects the air permeability of the upper part of the blast furnace and the smooth stability of furnace conditions, but also has a great impact on the work of the lower ...
Metallurgical coke is a macroporous carbon material of high strength produced by carbonization of coals of specific rank or of coal blends at temperatures up to 1400 K. About 90% of the coke produced from blends of coking coals is used to maintain the process of iron production in the blast furnace where it has three major roles: 1.
Why is coke preferred to coal in metallurgical process? Coke is preferred over coal for metallurgy because it has a greater boiling point than coal that is over 3800° C. What is the role of coke in metallurgical processes? Metallurgical coke, along with iron ore and limestone, is layered into a blast furnace to convert the iron ore to metallic ...
Processes involving biomass oxidation are considered to be CO 2 neutral since the replenishing of the biomass by normal growth will remove CO 2 from the atmosphere. Thus the use of charcoal in the production of metallurgical coke, to be used as a reducing agent in the formation of iron, would be a strategy for the reduction of CO 2 in the overall ironmaking process.

Nowadays, high volatile bituminous coals are broadly used for metallurgical coke production in Russia. The share of such coals in the coking blend is variable from 20 to 40 % by weight. There are some coal deposits in Kuznetskii basin which have big resources of the coals with low caking tendency.
Coking. Coke is an extremely important and the most expensive feedstock for iron and steelmaking, being obtained from nonrenewable specificrank coals or blended coal using a hightemperature carbonization process (> 1100°C).31,32 It has multiple roles in the BF during ironmaking,33,34, as an agent for reduction of reducible oxides and carburization of hot metals, as the source of about ...
Metallurgical coke is produced by the destructive distillation of coal in coke ovens. Prepared coal is heated in an oxygenfree atmosphere (coked) until most volatile components in the coal are removed. The material remaining is a carbon mass called coke. Metallurgical coke is used in iron and steel industry processes (primarily in blast ...

Carbon (as coke or charcoal) is cheap. It not only acts as a reducing agent, but it also acts as the fuel to provide heat for the process. However, in some cases (for example with aluminum) the temperature needed for carbon reduction is too high to be economic so a different method has to be used. Carbon may also be left in the metal as an ...
For instance, Yan and Zhang [10] simulated coal pyrolysis, Qin et al. [11] modeled the coal liquefaction process, and Chen et al. [12] modeled the coal gasification process. The coking process is a crucial step in metallurgical processes as it produces both fuel (COG) and raw material (coke) that is employed for manufacturing.

Raw coke. Coke is a grey, hard, and porous coalbased fuel with a high carbon content and few impurities, made by heating coal or oil in the absence of air—a destructive distillation process. It is an important industrial product, used mainly in iron ore smelting, but also as a fuel in stoves and forges when air pollution is a concern.. The unqualified term "coke" usually refers to the ...
metallurgical coke. The reactions between carbon and gas molecular (CO 2, H 2O) is key in coke gasification,23) The common models for studying gasification kinetics are random pore model (RPM), volume model (VM) and grain model (GM), which place emphasis on the apparent chemical ) However, the detailed gasification ...
Metallurgical coal or "met" coal is a certain grade of coal that is used to produce coke, an essential ingredient in the steelmaking process, as opposed to thermal coal which is used for energy production. Met coal is rarer and more valuable than thermal coal and has fewer impurities. Although West ia is the second highest producer ...
On heating in the absence of air, the coking coal is converted to a plastic liquid state. The plastic mass surrounds solid grains of noncoking coal. This is a cementation process. Accordingly, coke of sufficient strength may only be obtained from clinkering coal. On heating the coal grains to 455°C, most of the plastic material decomposes.
Four bituminous coals of different origins and ranks and one industrial coal blend were carbonized at a semipilot scale at various temperatures to study the effect of heat treatment (, different heating rates) on the structural evolution and hence the subsequent reactivity of the resulting cokes and their mechanical strength.

1. Introduction. Highquality metallurgical coke has become the most crucial coal product, and it is used in ironmaking blast furnaces because of its good plasticity [1], [2], [3].However, with the depletion of highquality coal resources, the price of raw materials used for coking production remains high, leading to an increasingly tighter supply of highquality metallurgical coke [4].
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. This work selected four typical coals from Shanxi Province in China to investigate influences of their structures and properties on coke quality. Although these samples belong to coking coals, the ...
