metallurgical coke

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.M03866
Metallurgical
coke
is produced by
carbonization
of coals or coal blends at temperatures up to 1400 K to produce a macroporous
carbon material
of high strength and relatively large lump size.
Note:
Metallurgical cokes must have a high strength to support heavy loads in the blast furnace without disintegration. Metallurgical
coke
is also used as
filler coke
for
polygranular carbon
products.
