Coke is a relatively pure form of carbon. Coke is produced in a process designed to remove sulfur and nitrogen compounds from bituminous coal, and to convert tarry materials -- compounds which contain carbon, hydrogen, and possibly a little oxygen -- to carbon.
The coking process is not usually designed to get rid of soil nor ash from coal, and it is usually not particularly effective at doing so. There are many different grades of coal, but none of them are particularly pure forms of carbon. Anthracite, the highest grade, is 92-98% carbon, bituminous coal 60-75% carbon, while lignite, "brown coal", is typically only 25-35% carbon.
