Use of Alternative Raw Materials in Coke-Making: New Insights in the Use of Lignites for Blast Furnace Coke Production

This paper presents the results of studies on the possibility of using lignite to produce blast furnace coke. The aim of the investigation was to evaluate the influence of lignite addition (direct addition or incorporated into briquettes) on the textural, structural and quality parameters (NSC-CRI a...
