Why Did Darby process of coking to remove chemical impurities from coal 1713
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.
Coals as straight or in blend which on carbonization produce hard coke are known as coking coals. Depending upon coking capacity, coking coals are divided into prime or hard coking coal, medium or soft coking coals and weakly or semi-soft coking coals. The coking coals are classified based on CSN, LTGK coke type, gieseler fluidity, vitrinite contents, mean maximum reflectace of vitrinite etc. On the other hand, coals which on carbonization produce powery mass are known as non-coking coals. Coals having CSN 0-1 and LTGK coke type of A and B are non coking coals. Dr. Tamal Kanti Das DGM, RDCIS, SAIL, Ranchi, India
Bharat Coking Coal Limited was created in 1972.
Coke drum unheading in general can be explained as follows.When coke is being formed in the coke drum the unheading is a means of isolating the drum from the decoking device.After coking process is complete the unheading devices ( at top and bottom of the drum ) are opened and by hydraulic or other means the coke formed is separated from the drum and further handled and conveyed.The drum is again ready for coking and the unheading devices are closed. The process of coking and decoking are batch processes and take place over a period of about 24+ hours in the ratio of about 20+ hours of coking and 2 or 3 hours of decoking.
Coke is made by heating coal in the absence of oxygen to about 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. Hard coking coal forms high-strength coke, while soft coking coal produces a lesser quality coke.
§Destructive distillation of coal to make cokea process for thermally converting the heavy residual bottoms of crude oil entirely to lower-boiling petroleumproducts and by-product petroleum coke.
Bulk density of coking coal depends on many factors. But commonly it can be told as 0.8 T/Cu.M.

Strongly caking coals, which yield a solid product (coke) with properties suitable for use in a blast furnace, are called coking coals. All coking coals are caking, but not all caking coals are suitable for coke making.

Oil refining is the process of distilling oil and then further reforming, catalytic cracking, hydrofining, blending, and sometimes coking, hydrocracking, alkylating various fractions of the distilled oil.
