Calorific Value of Coke 6. Increasing the Calorific Value

摘要

The gross calorific value of coke is largely controllable. It may be increased by optimizing the following factors: the volatile matter from the batch, the ultimate composition of the batch (taking account of oxidation), its granulometric composition, the packing density of the charge in the coking chamber, the temperature in the heating system, the coking rate, the coking period, the final coking temperature, the quenching method, and the size of the coke pieces.
