One promising substitute for metallurgical coke in the agglomeration of phosphorites is nonblast-furnace coke from poorly caking coal. The goal of the present investigation was to evaluate the potential of this substitute under laboratory conditions. Two conclusions were reached: nonblast-furnace high-ash and low-ash cokes, from the uncleaned and cleaned poorly caking coal from the Chernigovka seam in the Kuznetsk Coalfields, respectively, are suitable as a fuel for agglomeration of fine phosphate ores from the Karatau field and, quite probably, as an electrothermal reducing agent for phosphate raw materials. Considering the easy cleanability of Chernigovka coal and a number of technical-economic considerations, it is preferable to use low-ash nonblast-furnace coke in the production of yellow phosphorus. 4 references, 2 tables.
