Coking Pressure Control by Selective Crushing of High Coking Pressure Coal

Control System of Coking Plant

The reduction of cost in the process of iron manufacture is of permanent interest in steel-making industry. An important part of the overall cost in the process of iron manufacture is the cost of production of metallurgical coke. This problem is solved by finding a new technologies of iron production (COREX) or optimization of current ways of iron production. Therefore we have adopted the metho...

Coking Pressure and Its Relation to Fissure Formation

The danger excessive coking pressure poses to the integrity and longevity of coke ovens has been recognized for many years [1-7]. During carbonisation in a coke oven fissures in the coke are generated due to stresses that arise from the differential contraction rates in adjacent layers of coke, which are at different temperatures [8]. Typically they are longitudinal, i.e. perpendicular to the o...

Steam versus Coking Coal and the Acid Rain Program

The Clean Air Act of 1990 initiated a tradable permit program for emissions of sulfur dioxide from coal-fired power plants. One effect of this policy was a large increase in the consumption of low-sulfur bituminous coal by coal-fired power plants. However, lowsulfur bituminous coal is also the ideal coking coal for steel production. The analysis presented here will attempt to determine how the ...

The Effects of Volatile Materials of Non-coking Coal on the Reduction of Hematite

One of the most important methods to produce sponge iron is coal based reduction of iron ore. Direct reduction methods based on coal are being improved due to the abundance of coal sources and its lower cost in comparison with natural gas. Volatile materials in coal play an important role in the reduction of iron oxides. In this study, noncoking coal with high volatile materials from Iran and c...
