Metallurgical Coke Production
This project produces metallurgical coke, a hard, porous substance used in blast furnaces for pig iron production and cupolas for grey iron casting. The process involves carbonizing pulverized bituminous coal in a coke oven battery in the absence of air.

Manufacturing process
- Pulverize bituminous coal into fine powder using a ball mill.
- Heat the fine coal in a coke oven battery at 700-900 degrees Celsius in the absence of air (Carbonisation).
- Soak at temperature for 7-8 hours and allow to cool within the furnace to develop hardness and porosity.
- Crush the produced coke into the desired size.
- Test for strength, fixed carbon, sulfur, and ash content in a laboratory.
