Plastic wastes, lube oils and coal-tar are evaluated, individually and combined, as additives to coal blends for the production of blast-furnace coke. The effects of adding 2 wt% of potential additives or their mixtures (50:50 w/w) on the coking capacity of coal, the pressure generated during the coking process and the coke quality parameters were evaluated. Using a combination of polyolefin wa...

OBJECTIVES It was reported previously that topside oven workers with heavy exposure to coke oven emissions had increased serum activities of hepatic aminotransferase in one coke oven plant. This study was conducted to investigate the modifying effect of CYP1A1 MspI polymorphism on liver function profiles in coke oven workers. METHODS 88 coke oven workers from a large steel company in Taiwan w...

This paper provides background to the coke strength after reaction (CSR) test and gives perspective regarding changes in the cokinp coal market. It provides it sumtnary of some of the predicted relationships hctween the ash chemistry of coal, and coke properties of British Columbia coals. A brief overview iIf the ash chemistry of British Columbia coking coals is presented. The data arc used to ...

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of beers on the bovine enamel microhardness. Fifty rectangular (1 x 3 x 1 mm-height x width x thickness) enamel specimens were obtained from permanent bovine incisors, and divided into five groups (n = 10) according to the treatment employed: Saliva, Coke, Brahma, Heineken, and Budweiser. Microhardness (Knoop) were obtained before; after 5, 30 and 60 min ...

In the steel industry, promoting use of low-grade coal is important because depletion coking coal. To compensate for lack caking property low-quality coals, binders must be added to produce coke from blends. Lignin an aromatic polymer and one main components, accounting 30% wood. The chemical structure characteristics lignin differ depending on raw woody biomass extraction method used. this stu...

High-chromium vanadium and titanium magnetite (HCVTM) sinter has poor properties. The coke ratio has an important effect on the behavior of HCVTM sintering as it affects the mineral phases in the high-chromium vanadium and titanium sinter (HCVTS) via changing the sintering temperature and atmosphere. In this work, the sintering behavior of HCVTM mixed with varying coke ratios was investigated t...

By introducing the coke powder into friction pair, effects of load and temperature on lubricity at frictional interface are studied. Before test, microcrystalline structures different temperatures characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). After surfaces observed electron microscope energy spectrum, oxide compositions surface XRD, lubrication mechanism is investigated. The results show that RT (...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) result from the incomplete combustion of natural or synthetic organic materials. The working environment at a coke plant can negatively affect the employed workers who were exposed to coke oven emissions containing PAHs, which formed and released into the environment by the process of pyrolysis of coke. This study aims to analyze the relationship between ...

Walker, D. D., Archibald, R. M., and Attfield, M. D. (1971). Brit. J. industr. Med., 28, 358-363. Bronchitis in men employed in the coke industry. An epidemiological survey to determine the prevalence of bronchitis in men employed at two of the National Coal Board's coking plants is described. Eight hundred and eighty-one men (91 %) of the total working population were examined. A strong associ...
