The implementation of pulverized coal injection technology has resulted in the reduction in
the amounts of coke being used in the blast furnace, which has led to increased demands …

Coke is central to blast furnace operation, but because it is the most expensive raw material
used, there is continuing pressure to minimize its use. Consequently, it has become …

Conventional (anthracite, calcined petroleum coke, and coke) and non-conventional
(biochar, and biocokes (3 wt.% torrefied wood, and 3 wt.% petroleum coke+ 3 wt …

Abstract Changes in particle size distribution and in the degree of graphitization of coke
samples from various locations across the tuyere entrance of a blast furnace were …

A novel approach was developed to examine coke abrasion resistance in-situ at
temperatures of up to 950° C and in a controlled gas atmosphere using rotational …

A series of adsorption–alkalization experiments were conducted in a muffle furnace on two
types of blast furnace cokes at 1300° C in the presence of alkali vapors. Coke textures were …

Coke samples from tuyere level of a blast furnace were obtained through tuyere drilling.
Mineral matter of tuyere level cokes was quantified using SIROQUANT and examined using …

Coke is the main reductant for iron making in blast furnace. The reactivity and strength of
coke play a very important role in selection of coke as reductant in blast furnace. The …

It is imperative to reduce the pollution and energy consumption in the blast furnace
ironmaking process. High pellets operation is a developing direction in the future. The …

Intensifying hydrogen use in the blast furnace is a key technology for significant coke and
CO2 emissions reductions. The most straightforward approach is the implementation of high …
