Coke oven gas is an important byproduct of the steel industry as it is used as an energy
substitute for natural gas. However, coke gas contains impurities and must be treated before …

To understand the plastic layer properties, which directly impact coke quality during the
coking process, the plastic layer characteristics formed by seventeen kinds of coking coals …

The solvolytic conversion of softening bituminous coal at 380° C in solvents derived from the
commercial hydrocarbon byproducts and residues from coal and petroleum processing was …

The present investigation aims to elucidate the roles of the functional group chemistry on
coal carbonization. Seventeen coal samples were collected from the Barakar and the …

The influence of three coal tar pitches (CTPs), having softening points at 86, 94, and 103° C,
on the thermal behaviour of a defrosted high-volatile coal during co-carbonization and co …

The bituminous coal was extracted with different industrial solvents like coal tar (CT), heavy
cycle oil (HCO) and with their blends to determine the influence of solvent type on the extract …

The production of hot metal through the blast furnace route is stilled the most cost-effective
and highly productive process and probably remains the coming decades besides …

Taphole clay (THC) is an unshaped refractory commonly used in blast furnaces to seal the
taphole after the tap** process has been completed. THC is typically bonded with …

The dissolution of bituminous coal at mild temperature was studied using a variety of
commercially available coal-and petroleum-derived hydrocarbon fractions, hydrorefined …

ABSTRACT A Sapozhnikov plastometer is equipment that is commonly used, particularly in
Asia, for measuring the contraction of the coal bed as well as the plastic layer thickness …
