The project is organized in the way that tkISis engineering the process and TU BA Freibergexecute all the needed tests in the laboratory especiallytreatment of raw coal, briquetting, heating regimes and chemical and physical analysis of...

The life of a coke oven is greatly influenced by its design and the quality of brickwork construction& uniformity of physical, chemical and thermo-mechanical properties. Earlier, while selecting the quality of silica bricks, importance were being given to conventional properties like Apparent Porosity, Bulk Density, Cold Crushing Strength, Permanent Linear Change, Refractoriness under Load...

After successful campaign of more than 40 years the walls of the coke plant 2 of Tata IJmuiden are being replaced. Our paper addresses the issues of the selection and sourcing of the refractory materials for the new walls. Material properties formalised in the specification are reviewed.
