Production and characterization of metallurgical coke from duduguru coal

This work illustrates the production and characterization of metallurgical coke from Duduguru coal, Obi local Government Area Nasarawa State, Nigeria. The analytical assessment properties such as proximate analysis, elemental composition, calorific value are very important to know coking qualities coal. analysis showed that moisture content, ash volatile matter, fixed carbon values coal are; 1.86%, 18.82%, 43.74%, 53.58% 5405.15 Cal/g respectively. Based on result is good quality an industrial prospective heat generation be considered. Elemental shows due low heavy metals, sulfur content utilization within a safe environment feasible with just little impact make it suitable for blending strong or caking properties.
