Coking Coal By Shubhya International

Coke is one of the major input in steel making. Coke is made by destructive distillation of a blend of selected Bituminous Coals (called Coking coal or Metallurgical coal) in special high temperature ovens in the absence of oxygen until a greater part of the volatile matter is driven off. The resulting product, COKE, consists principally of carbon.

Coke is primarily used to smelt iron ore and other bearing materials in blast furnaces, acting both as a source of heat and as a chemical reducing agent to produce Pig Iron or Hot metal. To produce high quality blast furnace Coke, high quality coal is used.

Low Ash Metallurgical Coke (LAMC) is required for metallurgical and chemical industries and is used as the primary fuel where high temperature & uniform heating is required. The industrial consumers of LAMC include integrated Steel plants, Industry/ foundries producing Ferro Alloys, Pig Iron, Engineering goods, Chemicals, Soda Ash and Zinc units, etc.
