Effect of coal fineness on coke

Effect of coal fineness on coke

Answer:

In coking, the caking property is not good and the coke quality is reduced. Therefore, from the perspective of the uniformity of coal, coal fineness of some good. From the operation point of view, the greater the fineness of coal coal bulk density is lower, the production capacity of coke oven is low, into the coke oven, fine coal powder easily by gas is brought out, and easy blockage of ascending pipe, gas collector, affect the normal production of the coke oven, and the set of tar in the trachea increased, the effect of recovery operation. Therefore, from the production point of view, the fineness of coal should not be too large. Bulk coal in the top of the coke oven, coal crushing fineness of the general control in less than 3mm component in the range of 73~83%. Tamping coking, generally about 90%. In this range, the fineness of pulverized coal can meet the requirements of coke quality and coke oven operation. The small coal crushing will reduce the adhesion and the bulk density of coal, so as to reduce the coke quality.
From the point of view of the uniformity of coal material, the more finely pulverized coal. But if the coal fineness is small, because of the presence of a larger particle weakly caking coal and ash and coke cracks increased, the uniformity of deterioration. If the particle size of coal is not uniform, it is easy to produce segregation phenomenon in the transportation process, the grain size of different size will be gradually stratified by size. Due to the different coal hardness of the coal blending, large particles of coal is often a greater hardness of coal, so the segregation phenomenon, will make the different coal species gradually separated, so that the uniformity of coal deterioration.
The fineness of pulverized coal, which is less than 3mm of grain size, has a great influence on the quality of coke. The fineness of coal is one of the indexes of coal blending quality. In the production, when determining the fineness of coal, we should consider two aspects of the quality uniformity and production operation.
