A comparison of DQ-coke (dry quenched coke) with WQ-coke (wet quenched coke) for blast furnace operation was made. The results were as follows: a decrease in coke moisture caused a sharp rise in the top gas temperature; a decrease in coke moisture fluctuation was confirmed, and it is estimated that DQ-coke contributes to reducing furnace heat fluctuation; coke size distribution on the coke dry quenching exit side showed a clear change into small sizes; reduction of coke reactivity caused a decrease in the amount of solution loss reaction and a increase in the CO gas utilization; and since changes in blast temperature and blast moisture were used to cope with the reserve of heat capacity, the coke rate was approximately equal. The superiority of DQ-coke for blast furnace operations was confirmed. Although contribution of each factor cannot be verified, coke rate reduction can be produced as the integrated effect.
