Growing Demand of Coking Coal-A Brief Understanding
Coal is coked in ovens to remove impurities and volatile components. Coke is obtained from coking coal by eliminating several impurities to form pure carbon and make it ash free.
The coking coal is inclusive of physical properties which allow coal to soften and liquefy and then solidify into hard and porous lumps when heated in the absence of oxygen in blast furnaces.
The Process of Coke Making
Coke is produced by heating coking coal in a temperature of around 1000 degree centigrade without oxygen so that it is devoid of volatile materials. Thus coke, which is hard material, is produced. The process involves the use of ovens where coal is filled.
The entire process of coke making takes more than 12-36 hours in the ovens. Once the coke is produced, it is then drenched in water to cool it. It can also be used to make iron by transferring it to the blast furnace immediately. The carbon which is used for the manufacture of iron is produced from coking coal.
The main purpose of coking coal is for the production of iron and steel. It is in fact one of the most essential fuel used for producing steel. With the increase in the development of the iron and steel industry, the demand for coke has also simultaneously increased.
The demand for coke has led to a substantial increase in its prices in the past few years. China is the largest producer of steel and thereby it requires the highest amount of coke. To meet its growing demands of coke, the country has resorted to large scale import of the fuel. This has further led to the rise in the prices of coke.
India is the second largest country that requires coke for the production of steel. India produces more than sixty metric tonnes of steel every year and thereby requires a large amount of coke. The government of India has taken necessary steps to aggravate the growth of coking coal industries to meet the growing demands of the industry. Steps have been taken to revive coke producing industries so that the country can reduce its imports of coke.
With the soaring demand for coking coal, the prices of coke are bound to increase in the coming years. As there is a constant demand for coking coal, buyers find it feasible to purchase the same from the online web portals at affordable rates.
