A novel technique for assessing the coking potential of coals/coal blends for non-recovery coke making process

- A new coefficient named as Composite Coking Potential (CCP) of coal/coal blend is proposed.
- CCP is calculated using conventional properties of coking coals, e.g., chemical, rheological and petrographic.
- CCP value has been correlated with coke quality, namely, coke strength after reaction (CSR).
- The technique is useful for identifying cheaper coal in a blend.
- The technique has been validated for commercial non-recovery coke making process.
