Coke (fuel) Raw coke. Coke is a grey, hard, and porous coalbased fuel with a high carbon content and few impurities, made by heating coal or oil in the absence of air—a destructive distillation process. It is an important industrial product, used mainly in iron ore smelting, but also as a fuel in stoves and forges when air pollution is a ...
Here are three actions they should consider taking. Accelerate highgrade production. Iron ore mining companies already prioritize the production of betterquality ores, but they need to do more. Ores with more iron content and fewer impurities enable manufacturers to produce highervalueadded green steel efficiently.
Sintering process for iron ore fines Like other sintering processes, iron ore sintering converts iron ore fines of often − 8 mm sizing into larger agglomerates, namely, sinter, between 5 and 50 mm particle size, which possess the physical and metallurgical characteristics and gas permeability required for efficient blast furnace operation.
