Abstract

A number of coal parameters are used in coal selection for metallurgical applications. This chapter focuses mainly on coal parameters for use in coke-making and pulverised coal injection for the integrated iron and steel-making process. Parameters for use in alternative iron-making processes such as Corex® and other coal-based smelting reduction technologies are also discussed. This chapter reviews the current status of recent scientific advances in the area to better understand these parameters and thus efficiently utilise coal for various metallurgical applications. Where possible, the international standards related to the critical utilisation parameters identified are listed and discussed.
