Raw materials for Blast Furnace

1. Iron Ore: Lump/CLO Sinter Pellet

2 Coke

BF Grade

3. Flux

Lime Stone, Dolomite

Why Coal to be Converted into Coke?

Coal found in nature has poor crushing strength, Has Excessive fines Has low porosity Has poor combustibility Has high volatile matter and moisture

COAL TYPES
1. Anthracite 2. Bituminuous 3. Lignite

RECOVERY TYPE

Coke Making
Non RECOVERY TYPE

COKE OVENS
1. Heat Recovery (Non Recovery) Coke Plant with waste heat boiler

2. Non Heat Recovery (Recovery) Coke Plant

NON RECOVERY TYPE COKE OVENS

Cheaper Pollution Free Operate under slight negative Pressure Oven - 2.75m width, 10.76m length Coal Charge 26 tons, Charge Height-1.18m Coking cycle 48 hrs Stacks -4 , 21 ovens in each stack,

FUNCTIONS OF COKE
SOURCE FOR FUEL ACTS AS REDUCING AGENT(CO & C) PROVIDES PERMEABILITY TO THE BURDEN. ACTS AS SUPPORT TO DESCENDING BURDEN

TESTING OF COKE
1. CHEMICAL TEST (Proximate Analysis): %C > 80 % Ash < 13 % VM < 1.5 % Moisture < 3 % Sulphur < 0.6 % Phosphorous < 0.02 % Alkali (Na2O + K2O) < 0.4 max

TESTING OF COKE
Physical Test : Size - +20 to -50 mm Cold Strength - M40 & M10 Hot Strength - CSR (Coke Strength after reactivity) > 60 CRI ( Coke Reactivity Index) <
