Not only are they now the biggest consumers of coal, but there will be no substitute for coke for a long time to come in major areas, par• ticularly in blast furnaces. Like the former High Authority of the European Coal and Steel Community, the Commission of the European Communities is aware of the Community's need for a secure and cheap supply of coking coal and coke. This is reflected in, amongst other things, the Community Regulations aimed at facilitating the production and marketing of coking coal and coke, support for investment projects in these fields and the encouragement of research into coking plant technology. The Commission attaches special importance to the research sponsored by it aimed at improving the technical capabilites and economics of the co• king industry. It is doing its utmost to disseminate the results of this research as widely as possible to the interested parties, thereby making a further contribution to the solution of technical and economic problems in the coking business and the closely related problems of a Community coking coal and plant policy. With this in view the Commission held a seminar in Luxembourg on 23 and 2h April 197o on "Technology and Trends in Hard-Coal Coking", at which papers were read on the latest technical advances in this field. The Proceedings of the seminar are herewith published for the informa• tion of interested parties. Brussels, July 1970. Introduction As required by Article 55 of the ECSC Treaty, the High Authority and its successor the Commission have aided technical, economic and safety research in the coal and steel industries - research on coal valorization by coking being a major beneficiary. The seminar on new methods and developments in the field of coke production that the Commission organized in Luxembourg on 2~j> and 2k April 1970 examined the results of several coking research programmes which have received Community support. In the absence of Mr. Wilhelm Haferkamp, member of the Commission, the meeting was opened by Kr. F. Spaak, the Commission's Director-General for Energy. Mr. Eugene Schaus, Deputy Prime Minister of Luxembourg, welcomed participants on behalf of the host country and commented on the hopes aroused by the common energy policy of the Commission. Mr. 0. Schumra, Head of the Coal Directorate in the Directorate-General for Energy, outlined the basic problems facing a common policy as regards coking coal and coking plants. At three technical sessions - chaired respectively by Mr. K.H. Hawner, member of the Ruhrkohle AG Managing Committee, Mr. R. Cheradame, General Manager of Cerchar, and Mr. J. Ligny, General Manager of Charbonnages Monceau-Fontaine - German, French, Belgian and Italian experts submitted eleven papers on three subjects: (a) Increase of throughput of coke-oven plants; (b) Recent developments in the field of coke production; (c) Selection of coals of different rank for carbonization. The papers were followed by lively discussion, rounded off by contribu• tions based on practical and research experience. The meeting was attended by more than ^00 experts from 17 countries - cokin¿ technicians, coking-coal producers, coke consumers, equipment makers and representatives of universities, trade associations and governments. Scientific and technical preparations for the seminar were in the hands of a drafting committee, chaired by Mr. G. Wonnerth of the Directorate-General for energy and comprising six members of the Community's expert Coal Valorization Committee. The material details of the seminar, including the printing of confer• ence documents, were entrusted to a secretariat headed by Mr. L. Emringer and backed by the relevant departments of the Directorates-General for Personnel and Administration and for Information. The conference received valuable support from four national research associations, which assumed responsibility for translating the reports and discussions: Steinkohlenbergbauverein, Essen, Centre d'Etudes et de Recherches des Charbonnages de France (Cerchar), Paris, Institut National des Industries Extractives (Iniex), Liège, and the British Coke Research Association, Chesterfield. It was not only the specialists and the Commission who attached import• ance to this meeting and its highly topical theme: a great deal of interest was displayed by the Luxembourg Government too. Special mention should be made of the hospitable welcome the meeting and all taking part received from the City of Luxembourg and its Mayor, Miss Colette Flesch. 7 - CONTENTS Opening Session 11 Welcoming Speech 13 Mr F.

  • Lecture 32: Coke Production
    NPTEL – Chemical – Chemical Technology II Lecture 32: Coke production 32.1 Introduction Coal is used as fuel for electric power generation, industrial heating and steam generation, domestic heating, rail roads and for coal processing. Coal composition is denoted by rank. Rank increases with the carbon content and decreases with increasing oxygen content. Many of the products made by hydrogenation, oxidation, hydrolysis or fluorination are important for industrial use. Stable, low cost, petroleum and natural gas supplies has arose interest in some of the coal products as upgraded fuels to reduce air pollution as well as to take advantage of greater ease of handling of the liquid or gaseous material and to utilize existing facilities such as pipelines and furnaces. 32.2 Coking of coal Raw material is Bituminous coal. It appears to have specific internal surfaces in the range of 30 to 100m2/g. Generally one ton of bituminous coal produces 1400 lb of coke. 10 gallons of tar. Chemical reaction:- 4(C3H4)n nC6H6 + 5nC + 3nH2 + nCH4 Coal Benzene Coke Lighter hydrocarbon Joint initiative of IITs and IISc – Funded by MHRD Page 1 of 9 NPTEL – Chemical – Chemical Technology II Process flow sheet: Illustrated in Figure.

  • THE GUIDE to SOLID FUELS This Leaflet Will Tell You All You Need To
    THE GUIDE TO SOLID FUELS This leaflet will tell you all you need to know about: • The different solid fuels available and their suitability for the various types of appliances • Smoke control legislation • Buying solid fuel • Hints on getting the best from your fuel and appliance Choice of Fuel There are a great many different solid fuels for sale. Your choice will be based on a number of criteria, the most important of which will be the type of appliance you will be burning the fuel on and whether or not you live in a smoke control area (see page 4). Fuels for open fires Housecoal The most traditional fuel for open fires is housecoal. It is available in various sizes e.g. Large Cobbles, Cobbles, Trebles and Doubles. The larger sizes are usually a little more expensive than Doubles size. Housecoal comes from mines in Britain and other parts of the world, most notably Columbia and Indonesia. The coal may be sold by the name of the colliery it comes from e.g. Daw Mill, the port of entry e.g. Merseyport or a merchant’s own brand name, e.g. Stirling. Coal merchants also frequently sell the coal by grade – 1, 2 and 3 or A, B and C; 1 and A being the best quality. Wood Wood and logs can be burnt on open fires. They should be well-seasoned and preferably have a low resin content. You should not use any wood that has any kind of coating on the surface e.g. varnish or paint, as harmful gases may be emitted on burning.

  • Anthracite Anthracite – an Overview
    ANTHRACITE ANTHRACITE – AN OVERVIEW Anthracite is a high-rank coal, representing a coal that has been subjected to the highest grade of metamorphism. Anthracite is shiny black, hard and brittle and has the highest fixed-carbon content. Due to its low volatile matter, anthracite's combustion process is slow. Most anthracites have low-moisture content and their heating value is up to 8,200 kcal/kg. Anthracite combusts with hot, clean flame, containing low content of sulfur and volatiles. Due to these characteristics, anthracite is often used in specialized industrial uses that require smokeless fuels. 2 CLASSIFICATION OF COAL 3 ANTHRACITE – AN OVERVIEW Anthracite has a history of use A small amount of impurities in blast furnaces for iron smelting; and a high percentage of carbon however, it lacks the pore space of makes anthracite coal the most metallurgical coke, which advantageous for combustion, as eventually replaced anthracite. it gives the maximum amount of Nonetheless, anthracite is a unique energy. high-tech raw material characterized by the maximum carbon content.
