Why is coke preferred over coal for burning?
Coke, often made from bituminous coal refuse, is formed from burning off volatile components. That leaves solid fuel that burns longer and hotter than coal.Anthracite (hard) coal burns the hottest and cleanest, but this coal is in shorter supply because it takes longest to form.Bituminous (soft) coal has variable amounts of volatile components (low, medium, high) and burns 'dirty'. But it provides long, fairly even burning.Factories could and did use bituminous coal. But burning coal refuse to make coal rescued the coal while getting rid of gunk and impurities. Steel mills, which needed high, even, and longer-lasting burns for steel production, required coke.For coal companies, mining and processing of "coal and coke" increased revenues from all grades of coal. At one point, Fayette County and Washington County both in SW Pennsylvania were dotted with "beehive" coke ovens used to burn off coal's impurities.
