Smelting is primarily a process of firing an ore to extract the metal from it. Coal doesn't really have any metal in it; carbon is a non-metal. There's nothing to smelt. The process of smelting coal isn't something one would consider. Coal can be burned to create heat. It can be heated to recover coal gas, the volatile compounds that are in the coal but can be extracted (driven off) by heating in an atmosphere without oxygen.

How is it produced coke from coal?
Coke is produced from coal through a process called destructive distillation. In this process, coal is heated in the absence of air to drive off volatile components, leaving behind coke. The coke produced is a porous material that is used as a fuel and as a reducing agent in the smelting of iron ore.

Why did Abraham Darby invent Coke smelting?
because the supply and cost of coal was high and it created pollution so coke would take less and create less problem.
