Insight Into Coal and Coke For Iron Making

The objective of this book is to acquaint engineering students scientists and professionals with requisite knowledge to understand thoroughly the role of coal and coke in ironmaking. The contents of this book bear testimony to the extensive research expertise and study in depth made by its authors.. Coke being the most expensive raw material among the feeds to blast furnace any measure taken to minimize the cost of coal charge into the ovens will have a direct impact on the cost of hot metal. The dwindling reserves of high quality coking coals all over the world calls for making careful and rational use of the remaining reserves. It is therefore imperative that in order to make best use of the available known resources proper knowledge on this subject will always help to derive the maximum benefits from the existing coal reserves. The authors are confident that this book will help to serve this purpose and provide the requisite knowledge on coal and coke in ironmaking. In a nutshell the book will prove to be a legacy for posterity.
