Question:

What is the main purpose of the use of coke

I now do a good job in the coke network editor, I would like to know more about coke

Answer:

Direct reduction in the blast furnace in the area above 850 degrees celsius. Because the CO2 generated at high temperature immediately reacts with the carbon in coke to form CO, it can be considered that the carbon in coke is directly involved in the reduction process:CO is used as reducing agent, either indirect or direct reduction. In order to continue to add CO, requires a certain degree of reactivity of coke.
(3) column frame.The density of coke in blast furnace burden is the smallest, and the coke volume accounts for 35% ~ ~ ~ of the total volume of blast furnace burden. Coke is relatively strong, and in the tuyere area has always been to maintain the block, so it is the skeleton of the blast furnace column, from the loose material column, to ensure that the column has a good gas permeability of the role of the furnace is an important factor.
(2) reducing agent.The reduction of ore in blast furnace is accomplished by indirect reduction and direct reduction. The indirect reduction is about 400 degrees centigrade. The indirect reduction is rising gas CO reduction in ore, iron oxide from high iron gradually reduced low iron until the metal iron, while producing CO2:
(1) heating.The heat needed for blast furnace smelting is provided by the combustion of coke and fuel, and the hot air is provided, and the heat of coke combustion accounts for 75% ~ 80%. The ash content of coke is low, and it still keeps a certain degree before falling to the tuyere.
Coke is mainly used in blast furnace ironmaking and smelting of non-ferrous metals such as copper, lead, zinc, titanium, antimony, mercury and so on. In the process of blast furnace smelting, there are four kinds of functions, such as heat supply, reduction, material skeleton and carbon supply.
