The difference between coal and coke
Today, the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council issued the notice on the implementation of the tariff plan in 2013. Shang magnesium network noticed,. This important change, apparently stems from the WTO requires China to cancel the export of raw materials restriction policy decisions. In recent years, due to higher export tariffs, coke exports almost stagnant, but also indirectly affect the production of magnesium metal. Due to insufficient supply of coke oven gas, and the price increases, the production of primary magnesium in the main producing area of Shanxi magnesium metal has been seriously reduced. Shang magnesium network analysis, the abolition of coke and semi coke export tariffs next year, the amount of exports should be theoretically faster recovery, some of the original magnesium production capacity will be restored. However, the government may take other measures to limit coke and semi coke production, coupled with the western economic downturn, exports may be rapid growth. Therefore, the coke industry after the abolition of export tariffs on the market situation remains to be seen, the impact on the magnesium industry has yet to be further assessed.
The semi coke production tend to low temperature carbonization, distillation temperature at 600 degrees Celsius, due to a late start, at present the low temperature carbonization furnace single furnace annual output of 30 thousand tons / year in most equipment under low temperature carbonization furnace forum of more than 50 thousand tons / year scale is still at the exploratory and experimental stage, technology of the large-scale equipment is still not mature, can only achieve centralized mass production using a combination of multi furnace technology. The use of coal field is quite widespread, especially in the carbonaceous reducing agent has unique properties, economic advantages are very obvious.
The production of coke products in general is mainly based on high temperature carbonization, and the carbonization temperature usually needs about 1000 degrees celsius. After years of development, the current large-scale coke furnace equipment and technology is relatively mature, have equipment to improve the yield so as to achieve large-scale production conditions, coke furnace built in recent years, each with a yield of about 500 thousand tons, the highest can be even more than 1 million tons / year, such as the recent launch of mine international coking plant two chamber coke oven 7.63 m, each with a yield of 1 million 100 thousand tons per year.
