What are the differences between coke and coking coal?

Definition:

Coking coal is a raw material extracted from coal mines and is mainly used for the production of coke.

Coke is a solid fuel obtained through high-temperature pyrolysis and is mainly used in the metallurgical industry.

productive process:

Bituminous coal is transformed into coke through high-temperature dry distillation in a coke oven.

The production of coke requires bituminous coal as the raw material.

Properties:

Bituminous coal has a high volatile content and good industrial processing performance.

Charcoal, on the other hand, has high strength, low volatile content and good air permeability.

Purpose:

Bituminous coal is mainly used for the production of coke and in certain industrial applications.

Coke is mainly used in blast furnaces for iron smelting and is one of the indispensable raw materials.
