Title: Prospects for use of lean caking coal from the Kuznetsk coalfield for coking

Journal Article · · Coke Chem. USSR (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:6531004

The coals from the Kuznetsk Coalfield were investigated under laboratory and pilot-plant conditions and compared with coals of various rank from the Anzhero Coalfield. The coals from the South of the Kuzbass have a more favorable petrographic composition than the Anzhero coals; their volatile matter depends on the rank; the caking capacity is low; the plastic layer is not measured, and the swelling index is also low. The lean coal types are coked in charges containing Kuznetsk and Pechora coal. The criterion for evaluation of the coking capacity was the coke mechanical strength indices, obtained during testing in the large grate drum. 1 figure, 4 tables.
