It is NOT purified, but baked in coke ovens.

When baked the residue is 'coke' An impure form of carbon.

Gases are liberated too!!!!

They are carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, Ammonia, hydrogen sulphide, methane.

These gases are collected, not released into the atmosphere, and industrial use is made of them .
