Coke making using non-coking coal

Advantages / Salient Technical Features Application/Uses
• Use of non-coking coal for coke making by exploiting • The coke is prepared from high ash Indian
abundant coal reserves non-coking coal. Hence, the huge non-
• Import substitution for coking coal coking coal (thermal coal) resources of India
• Overall energy saving ( ~ 89% of total resource) can be used for
metallurgical applications. Where the coke
can be used for reducing the metal oxides to
