Difference between metallurgical coke and coke

Difference between metallurgical coke and coke

Metallurgical coke (also called metallurgical coke) is mainly used for blast furnace ironmaking and blast furnace smelting of non-ferrous metals such as copper, lead, zinc, titanium, antimony, and mercury, and acts as a reducing agent, heating agent, and material column skeleton. Coke (also called chemical coke) is mainly used for chemical gasification. The quality requirements are different. Metallurgical coke must have appropriate chemical and physical properties, including thermal properties during the smelting process. Coke for chemical gasification does not have strict strength requirements, but requires good reactivity and a high ash melting point.
