Abstract

Coke with ore additive may be produced from Zarechnaya DG coal (Kuznets Basin) and high-sulfur Zh coal (from Samsonovskaya and Krasnolimanskaya enrichment facilities, Donets Basin), which is of low technological value and is used in small quantities in batch for the production of blast-furnace coke. The ore additive employed is dust from the dry gas purifiers in the production of commercial silicomanganese, manganese-carbonate concentrate, and manganese-oxide concentrate of the first and second kinds. In experimental batches, the content of the ore additive is adjusted in 5% increments over the range 0–15%. On introducing the ore additive in the batch, the corresponding quantity of G coal is removed, with constant content (40%) of Zh coal. Experimental batches are coked in a 5-kg laboratory furnace (designed by Ukrainian Coal-Chemistry Institute). The coke obtained is tested by methods including technical analysis and determination of the electrical resistivity, the reactivity, and the structural and mechanical strength. In the production of highly reactive coke with high electrical resistivity, the best ore additive is 10–15% manganese-oxide concentrate. The coke is suitable for transportation, transfer, sorting, and crushing to the required size.
