A factor analysis study of the correlation of quality parameters for blast furnace coke

摘要

The basic parameters of blast-furnace coke are founded on a set of physicomechanical properties realized in various strength indices and physicochemical properties represented by the reactivity, electrical conductivity, optical texture, and X-ray diffraction characteristics. All these properties and the corresponding quality parameters are linked to some extent, so their variations in a series of specimens or batches of coke have the same cause: changes in the local microstructure of the carbon and the distribution of the carbon atoms by type of electron hybridization and features of the carbon macrostructures that include atoms of impurity elements [1].
