Abstract

There is great scope for energy conservation in iron production. It is shown that blast furnaces and coke plants are the greatest consumers of energy and carbon in the steel industry. There are not even any optional guidelines for the calorific value of blast-furnace coke produced in Ukraine or elsewhere. Existing formulas for the calorific value of liquid and solid fuels do not permit prediction of the calorific value of blast-furnace coke with sufficient accuracy. The lack of reliable data regarding the influence of raw materials and production factors on the calorific value of blast-furnace coke prevents the identification of practical methods for its improvement.
