1. As the most critical product of coking, more than 90% of coke is used for blast furnace ironmaking in most countries. Replacing charcoal with coke in iron smelting laid the foundation for modernizing large blast furnaces, marking a significant milestone in metallurgical history.
2. Coke is vital for casting and smelting non-ferrous metals like copper, lead, zinc, titanium, and antimony. It acts as a reducing agent, heat provider, and structural support.
3. In the smelting industry, coke is sparingly used for producing calcium carbide, carbon disulfide, phosphorus, and other elements. In steel joint ventures, coke powder serves as sintered fuel. Additionally, coke is a key raw material in producing water gas for synthesis.
4. To optimize blast furnace operation both technically and economically, smelting coke (metallurgical coke) must possess suitable chemical, physical, and thermal properties essential for the smelting process.
5. Besides its extensive use in iron and non-ferrous metal smelting (metallurgical coke), coke is also utilized in casting, chemical production, calcium carbide manufacturing, and ferroalloy production.
Coke can be a cost-effective substitute for refinery coke or stone grinds. Its cost advantage is significant as it can achieve a calorific value above 9386K/KG, making it a viable fuel option. Furthermore, burnt carbon, which requires export quotas, is often more expensive, further highlighting the cost-effectiveness of coke as a carburizing agent.
