Anthracite has been used for smelting iron in North America for nearly 200 years and is still used today in cupolas. Environmental and market factors contribute to continued cost increases in foundry coke that will continue in the future. This paper reviews the availability, quality and properties of anthracite and considers some of the differences in operation when using anthracite in place of coke.
