“…Specifically, the briquetted anthracite bricks do not require the prepyrolysis step that coke production requires, in which 0.2 kg of carbon fuel would be consumed to produce 1 kg of coke. This coking step also releases 0.66 kg of CO 2 per kg of coke produced , (see calculation in Supporting Information). It is anticipated that the briquetted anthracite-silicon bricks could be sold for about two-thirds of the cost of the coke.…”

An alternative fuel to replace foundry coke in cupolas was developed from waste anthracite fines. Waste anthracite fines were briquetted with Si-containing materials and treated in carbothermal (combination of heat and carbon) conditions that simulated the cupola preheat zone to form silicon carbide nanowires (SCNWs). SCNWs can provide hot crushing strengths, which are important in cupola operations. Lab-scale experiments confirmed that the redox level of the Si-source significantly affected the formation of SiC. With zerovalent silicon, SCNWs were formed within the anthracite pellets. Although amorphous Si (+4) plus anthracite formed SiC, these conditions did not transform the SiC into nanowires. Moreover, under the test conditions, SiC was not formed between crystallized Si (+4) and anthracite. In a full-scale demonstration, bricks made from anthracite fines and zerovalent silicon successfully replaced a part of the foundry coke in a full-scale cupola. In addition to saving in fuel cost, replacing coke by waste anthracite fines can reduce energy consumption and CO2 and other pollution associated with conventional coking.

“…It was asserted that the material and energy costs allocated to the various production units within a steel production facility are roughly 28-30% for the coke oven plant, 56-59% for the blast furnace, and 14% for the basic oxygen furnace [14]. Approximately 59.5% of the heat applied to the coke oven was applied to coal to produce coking, according to a study on energy analyses conducted by Ertem and Ozdabak on a coking plant [15]. The research conducted by Sultanguzin et al examined the production of metallurgical coke, the coal fuel-energy balance, and the optimization of steel production based on energy and environmental standards [16].…”

In this study, the energy view of an oven of a 70-oven coke battery in an iron and steel plant was evaluated based on operating parameters and recommendations for improving efficiency were made. A mass and energy balance per coking period (p) was created for a coke oven. It was found that during each coking period, 51.2% of the energy input was used as coking heat. It is predicted that approximately 6.91% of the input energy can be recovered from flue gas into the combustion air. By recovering the heat from the flue gas into the combustion air, the efficiency of the coke oven can be increased to 58.11%. The heat of the coke oven gas can be recovered and converted into usable form, which accounts for 6.53% of the total energy input. With the dry quenching process, it is possible to recover around 24% of the energy used from coke. Improved oven insulation, heat recovery from coke and flue gases, and the dry quenching process can recover energy worth more than 25.19 GJ/p. The energy efficiency of the furnace was predicted to rise to 82.11% with coke dry quenching and to more than 88.64% with coke gas heat recovery and insulation upgrades. The potential economic savings are $2578, equivalent to a reduction in CO₂ emissions of 2.45 tons per coking period. The financial equivalent of emissions reductions from carbon trading could be $233 per coking period. Through the processes of dry coke quenching, coke gas (CG), and flue gas heat recovery and thermal insulation improvements of the coke battery, the total amount of recoverable energy can exceed 617,294 GJ/year.
