Metallurgical
coke is produced by
carbonization of coals or coal blends at temperatures up to
to produce a macroporous
carbon material of high strength and relatively large lump size.
Note:
Metallurgical cokes must have a high strength to support heavy loads in the blast
furnace without disintegration. Metallurgical
coke is also used as
filler coke for
polygranular carbon products.
