The effectiveness of metallurgical coke in blast furnaces is evaluated based on parameters such as Coke Reactivity Index (CRI) and Coke Strength after Reaction (CSR). As coke descends through the furnace, it undergoes reactions with CO2 and experiences abrasion. These simultaneous processes can lead to coke degradation and the production of fine particles, potentially decreasing the permeability of the blast furnace burden. Despite these challenges, met coke remains indispensable in steelmaking due to its ability to withstand the harsh conditions inside blast furnaces and maintain the necessary chemical and thermal properties for efficient iron production.

Beyond its primary role in steelmaking, metallurgical coke finds applications in diverse industries. It is crucial in foundries, where it acts as a fuel and a reducing agent in cupola furnaces used for casting iron and other metals. Additionally, met coke is employed in non-ferrous metallurgy processes, such as smelting copper and lead ores. Its consistent availability and reliable performance make it an essential commodity in the metallurgical industry, supporting the production of various metals essential for modern infrastructure and manufacturing.

At Anupam Fuels, we take pride in our longstanding partnership with Vedanta Ltd - Sesa Goa Ltd, spanning over 20 years. This collaboration underscores our commitment to delivering high-quality metallurgical coke, a key component in various industrial processes.
