Coke making is responsible for the 10% of the energy consumption of the integrated ironmaking route; it is a materialintensive process, and it consumes enormous volumes of water.
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 ...
From there, the coal is converted into coke and then used in the blast furnacebasic oxygen steelmaking process. Coal does three things in this process: it is burned to supply the huge amounts of heat required, it supplies gases to strip oxygen from the iron ore and roughly 1% of the coal ends up as carbon in the steel.
The majority of coke produced in the United States comes fromwetcharge, byproduct coke oven batteries (Figure 1). The entire cokemaking operation is comprised of the following steps: Before carbonization, the selected coals from specific mines are blended, pulverized, and oiled for proper bulk density control. The blended coal is charged into a
Metallurgical coal is an essential ingredient in the production of steel, making it one of the most widely used building materials on earth. It takes around 770 kilograms of coal to make one ton of steel, with approximately 70 per cent of global steel produced in basic oxygen blast furnaces. Our challenge is to continue producing the coal ...
1. Coal washing: The raw coal is cleaned before coking, in order to reduce the ash contained in the coal and remove other residues. 2. Coal blending: It is a process in which coal of different types of gas, fertilizer, coke and lean is prepared according to a certain proportion, and is naturally loaded into the coke oven from the top of the ...
Coke was first produced commercially in England in the early eighteenth century. By the early to mid1800s, coke was being widely produced in Europe and the United States of America as the major fuel for blast furnaces. Coal carbonization is a process that yields metallurgical coke for use in ironmaking blast furnaces and other metalsmelting ...
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 ...
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 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.
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.
Fig. 1, Fig. 2 illustrate the schematic of the coking process and the heating process respectively. The properties of 1/3 coking coal used in the experiments are shown in Table, 10 g crushed 1/3 coking coal with a particle size of less than mm is charged into the cylindershaped crucible.
Firstly, DCLR can fully moisten the surface of coal particles in the early stage of coal pyrolysis (350380 °C) and suppress the gas escaping from coal particles, resulting in a higher internal pressure.

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.
This is not the cola soft drink. Coke is a porous, carbonrich material used to make steel. The coke is mixed with iron ore and limestone to make molten iron, which is then further treated and heated to make steel. Generalized diagram showing how steel is made.
The properties of coke are influenced by moisture content and density. The main use of coke is to make iron. The burning of coal to coke produces carbon monoxide. A touch at the bottom of the furnace allows impurities to flow out of the furnace. This, coupled with the fact that many harmful impurities come from heating the coal is the reason ...
Coke and Coal. By distilling bituminous coal in retorts to obtain gas for illumination, or by burning it in kilns or pits, the residue left behind is called coke, which is simply coal charcoal ...
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 ...
The utilization of powdery semicoke as a power fuel in pulverized coalfired power plants has become a new and potential technique to consume the excess powdery semicoke. The characteristic of low volatile results in poor combustion performance and high NOx emission, and to cofire with bituminous coal is a practical strategy to address this problem. However, the cocombustion ...
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 ...
Coal blending is a practice that has been undertaken by many power stations to provide a consistent feedstock of fuel for power generation or to meet different requirements such as solving transportation problems, fuel cost, reducing slagging and SOx emission.

The oxidation of coal is generally explained by the radicalchain hypothesis. Detection of active centers and free radicals is possible by methods available today, and the formation of methyl, methylene, phenol, carbonyl, and carboxyl groups and their interaction with oxygen and water molecules may be described. Oxidation results in heating and selfcombustion of coal on open storage. For each ...
Coking. Coking coal is an essential raw material for the production of iron and steel. Coke is a solid carbonaceous residue formed from coking coal (a lowash, lowsulphur bituminous coal, also known as metallurgical coal), which is used in make steel and other iron products [].Coke is produced by burning coal at temperatures up to 1000 °C in the absence of oxygen to remove the volatile ...

The same coal blend was also preheated at 214 °C and then carbonized at 1200 °C (T6). The characteristics of the resultant tars (industrial T1, T2 and semiindustrial tars T3, T4, T5, T6 ...
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.
It shows that both coke quality and the behaviour of the coal charge during carbonization depend on the grade of coal (type and rank) and the operating parameters used for carbonization (bulk density and heating rate). The mechanical coke properties can be influenced by coal blending, by coal pretreatment and by the coking conditions.
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.
High bulk density operation increases the coking pressure (force when the swelling of the molten coal pushes the oven wall) during coal carbonization to a great extent, which increases the force needed for coke cake pushing and in some cases leads to operational problems.
