Discover the coke production and applications industry, a pivotal sector
in the global manufacturing landscape, specializing in the
transformation of coal into coke, an essential material for steelmaking
and various industrial processes. Coke, a carbon-rich solid derived from
coal, is produced by heating coal in the absence of air, a process
known as coking. This industry plays a critical role in supporting the
steel industry by providing a high-energy fuel and reducing agent
necessary for the smelting of iron ore in blast furnaces. Emphasizing
efficiency, environmental sustainability, and innovation, the coke
production sector is vital for meeting the demands of global
infrastructure development and manufacturing industries.
Coke Testing and Research Services
Contract Laboratory can help you with all your Coke testing, analysis, scientific research and development, inspection, certification, engineering, failure investigation, and product development needs including:
Proximate Analysis: Determines the moisture
volatile matter
fixed carbon
and ash content of coke to assess quality
Ultimate Analysis: Measures the elemental composition
including carbon
hydrogen
nitrogen
sulfur
and oxygen content
Tumbler Test: Assesses the mechanical strength of coke by evaluating its resistance to breakage and abrasion
CRI (Coke Reactivity Index) and CSR (Coke Strength after Reaction): Measures the coke's reactivity to CO2 and its strength after reaction
critical for blast furnace operations
Calorific Value: Determines the energy content of the coke
essential for its efficiency as a fuel
Ash Fusion Temperature: Assesses the behavior of coke ash at high temperatures
affecting clinker formation in furnaces
Type of Coke Products
Contract Laboratory can assist your company, academic institution, government agency or organization in outsourcing contract laboratories to perform testing, analysis, and product development for many Coke finished products, processes, systems, in-process materials, raw materials and components such as:
Metallurgical Coke: High-carbon coke used primarily in blast furnaces for iron and steel production
offering high energy and carbon content
Foundry Coke: A larger size coke with high fixed carbon content used in foundries for metal casting
supporting strong structural integrity
Nut Coke: Smaller-sized coke used along with lump coke in blast furnaces to improve airflow and combustion efficiency
Coke Breeze: The finest grade of coke
used as a filler in brick production or as a fuel in industrial boilers and furnaces
Coke Oven Gas: A byproduct of coke production
used as a fuel in steel plants and for heating purposes
rich in hydrogen
methane
and other valuable gases
