2.1 The role of coke in the blast furnace
Coke is a carbonaceous material derived from the pyrolysis of mixtures of coking coals characterized by the property of passing successively through a plastic state, then through a re-solidification phase when heated in the absence of air.
. The general properties of coals are described in
