Plasticcontaining shredder residue material has the potential to be used as an alternative reducing agent in nonferrous bath smelting processes. This would lead to not only decreased dependency on primary sources such as coal or coke but also to an increase in the efficiency of utilization of secondary sources. This calls for systematic scientific investigations, wherein these secondary ...
Metallurgical coke is produced by destructive distillation of coal in coke ovens. Prepared coal is "coked", or heated in an oxygenfree atmosphere until all volatile components in the coal evaporate. The material remaining is called coke. Most metallurgical coke is used in iron and steel industry processes such as blast furnaces, sinter plants ...
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.
The metallurgical industry faces great challenges in reducing the fossil CO 2 emissions related to production. This challenge can be met using biocoal as an alternative to fossil coal in different applications related to the production processes. In many cases, large volumes of biocoal of a specific quality have to be available to meet the ...
Coke is used as a fuel and as a reducing agent in smelting iron ore in a blast furnace. Coke from coal is grey, hard, and porous and has a heating value of million Btu per ton. Coke (petroleum): A residue high in carbon content and low in hydrogen that is the final product of thermal decomposition in the condensation process in cracking ...
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. The development of the coke microstructural order under ...
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 ...
Similarly, in some of the coke producing processes, use of low rank coal [ high volatile bituminous coal] to produce metallurgical coke was carried out. However, production of such metallurgical coke involved heating low rank coal to long durations in excess of an hour's time while using microwave energy power in the range excess to 8 kW at ...

The high heat utilization rate and production efficiency make the BF route the dominant ironmaking process globally [].About 70% of the hot metal used in producing crude steel comes from the BF route [2,3,4].Coke is an indispensable burden in the blast furnace, and its performance shows a substantial impact on the ...
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 ...
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 ...
Biocoke has the potential to reduce the fossilbased materials in metallurgical processes, along with mitigating anthropogenic CO2 and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. ... Barriocanal, C. Coal for ...
Metallurgical coke or 'Met coke' or 'BF (blast furnace) coke' or simply 'coke in short' is a hard carbon material produced in the process of the 'destructive distillation' of various blends of bituminous coal. It is produced by carbonization of coal at high temperatures (1,100 deg C) in an oxygen deficient atmosphere in a coke oven.
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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
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.
Sizespecific emission factors were developed from these data for the major processes used in the manufacture of metallurgical coke. A detailed process description is presented with emphasis on factors affecting the generation of emissions. ... Thus, a change in the cost of coal by only 1% is equivalent to a change of 6 to 9% in total costs for ...
