Low-carbon and environmentally friendly development are becoming increasingly important
in the metallurgical industry. In this study, the use of biomass as a source of both material …

Lignocellulosic biomass is an attractive resource for metallurgical coke. The hot pelletization
of powdered biomass followed by carbonization produces a high-strength biocoke …

The replacement of coal with lignocellulosic biomass as feedstock for blast furnace coke is a
crucial approach to decarbonizing the steel industry, which is a sector that is difficult to …

In continuation of our previous study on production of high-strength metallurgical coke from
torrefied softwood (cedar), we studied coke production from a mixture of torrefied cedar (TC) …

Image analysis was performed on the analytical objects constructed by X-ray computed
tomography images of coke with anthracite as low swelling and softening-melting coal to …

We investigated the optimal heating conditions (heating rate, rapid heating temperature
range, and pressure) and blending ratio that can produce high-strength coke by using …

Torrefaction, pulverization, hot briquetting, and carbonization in sequence successfully
produce high-strength coke from woody biomass. This method was further improved by …

In order to address the low thermal efficiency of low-rank coal combustion and the
accompanying serious environmental issues, formed coke was prepared using a …

The mechanisms of expansion and shrinkage behavior of the briquettes of coal or torrefied
biomass were investigated by measuring the weight loss of coal and torrefied biomass and …

15 and charcoal to a coking coal (logarithm of maximum fluidity (logFmax)≈ 2.5). They
showed that logFmax decreased greatly to 0.5 by adding cellulose or sawdust at a rate of …
