What is coke? What is the use?
In addition to coke for iron and non-ferrous metal smelting (metallurgical coke), but also for casting, chemical, calcium carbide and iron alloy, its quality requirements vary. Such as foundry coke, generally require large size, low porosity, high fixed carbon and low sulfur; chemical gasification, strict requirements for strength. But requires good response, high ash melting point; calcium carbide and coke production requirements to improve the fixed carbon content.
Lay the foundation for large-scale modern blast furnace, is an important milepost in the history of metallurgy. The blast furnace operation and achieve good technical and economic indexes, smelting with coke (coke) must have appropriate chemical and physical properties, including thermal properties in the smelting process.
The use of coke coke is mainly used in blast furnace and used for copper, lead, zinc, titanium, antimony, mercury and other non-ferrous metal smelting of blast furnace, reducing agent, heating agent and columnar skeleton blast furnace adopts coke instead of charcoal.
