Abstract:The blends of two weakly-caking coals (D1 and D2) with a fat coal or petroleum pitch or coal tar pitch in different proportions were co-carbonized at 3 ı C/min up to 1000 ı C in an experimental 1-Kg coke oven. Coke particulate size, micro-strength, and crushing strength were measured, respectively. Optical textures were watched under a polarized microscope. It was shown that, except for coke yield, blends with coal tar pitch had the best coke micro-strength, cracking strength, and >0.8 mm coke lump yield. Fat … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
