What are major uses of coal?
Coal is used for electricity, making steel, industry and to make coke
What is a carbon like substance that comes from coal which was used to make iron pure and much stronger?
Coke, a carbon rich of coal.
A type of coal commonly used in pencil lead?
Graphite is used to make pencil lead, but it is not a form of coal.
What is the difference between coking coal mines and non-coking coal mines?
coking coal required for production of coke which is used in steel industries and non coking coal required for thermal power plants for steam production. coking coal required for production of coke which is used in steel industries and non coking coal required for thermal power plants for steam production.
Difference between Metallurgic coke and petroleum coke?
Pet coke is a carbonaceous solid derived from oil refinery cracking processes. Marketable coke is coke that is relatively pure carbon and can be sold for use as fuel, in the manufacture of dry cells, electrodes, etc. Needle coke, also called acicular coke, is a highly crystalline petroleum coke used in the production of electrodes for the steel and aluminum industries. Catalyst coke is coke that has deposited on the catalysts used in oil refining, such as those in a catalytic cracker. This coke is impure and is only used for fuel. Petroleum coke's high heat and low ash make a good fuel for power generation in coal-fired boilers but is high in sulphur and low in volatile content which pose some environmental and technical problems with its combustion.Metallurgical coke is produced by destructive distillation of coal in coke ovens. Prepared coal is "coked" or heated in an oxygen-free atmosphere until all volatile components in the coal evapoarate. The remaining material is called "coke", sulphur content is low in this form. Most metallurgical coke is used in iron and steel industry processes such as blast furnaces, sinter plants, and foundries to reduce iron ore to iron. Over 90% of the total metallurgical coke production is dedicated to blast furnace operations.
Is coke a fossil fuel?
Absolulutely!! Coke is make by people and it's not living so...YES!!

What type of coal can be used in pulverized combustion?
Bituminous and subbituminous coals are user to make the pulverized coal for coal burners. This is coal containing the compound bitumen. It is a soft coal. They are graded according to their carbon content. They can be processed into coke before being pulverized.

Coke, a carbon rich of coal.
What are coals major use?
Coal is used for electricity, making steel, industry and to make coke
What raw materials are used to make coke?
A coal and heat process that removes sulphur and other impurities without actually burning the coal.
A type of coal commonly used in pencil lead?
Graphite is used to make pencil lead, but it is not a form of coal.
What are some products made out of coal?
There are various uses of coal out of which 85% of coal is burned to generate electricity. The ash is sometimes used in building products. Much coal is converted to coke, which is largely used to make steel. Some coal is used to make natural gas, and CTL (Coal to liquid) processes coming on line can make gasoline or diesel fuel. Coal is also used to make many chemicals, such as medicines, paint thinner, varnish, and insecticides. There are some bye-products of coal such as coal Tar , coal tar pitch
Why coke is used as fuel?
The term means a product similar to coal and mined the same way. Some is made by using coking oven from coal. Coal is cheaper and that is why it is used more often. Coke is cleaner and other methods should be looked into before coal and oil run out.

What type of energy released greenhouse gases when used to make electricity?
coal and natural gas
What was coal used widely for during the industrial age?
One major use was for making steam to power steam engines. Coal was also baked in furnaces to make coke which was in turn used in blast furnaces to mak iron.
