What You Should Know About Metallurgical Coal
Aug 21, 2020 Metallurgical coal differs from thermal coal, used for energy and heating, by its carbon content and its caking ability. Caking refers to the coal's ability to be converted into coke, a pure form of carbon that can be used in basic oxygen furnaces. Bituminous coal
Coking Coal for steel production and alternatives Front
By Noah Beecher Kelk Metallurgical coal, also called metcoal or coking coal, is a type of coal that is used in the production of steel. It is of a higher purity than thermal coal which is used in energy generation. To make
Coal & steel World Coal Association
Raw materials Steel production. Coke. Coking coal is converted to coke by driving off impurities to leave almost pure carbon. The coking coal is crushed and washed. It is then ‘purified’ or ‘carbonised’ in a series of coke ovens, known as batteries, where the coking coal is heated to 1000-1100ºC in the absence of oxygen for 12-36 hours.
How does coke and coal play into steel making?
Jun 22, 2016 Coke is used as a fuel and a reducing agent in melting iron ore. It is produced by baking coal until it becomes carbon by burning off impurities without burning up the coal itself. When coke is consumed it generates intense heat but little smoke, making it ideal for smelting iron and steel. Prior to the 1880’s, steel was produced using charcoal.
