In the process of production of iron and steel substantial amounts of fuel and raw materials are consumed. Metallurgical coke as fuel, reducing agent and material that provide gas flow trough blast furnace processes must possess certain properties in terms of strength, due to expected changes in the conditions of high temperature environment. Demand for high-quality metallurgical coke in the world is continuously increasing. The aim of developing a new coking process has been exploring the possibilities of producing high-quality metallurgical coke using cheaper and lower quality coking coals. New metallurgical coke production process should provide: high productivity, of coke ovens, energy saving, reduction of investment cost and improve the living and working environment in comparison to conventional coke ovens. This paper presents a new production process of metallurgical coke, SCOPE 21.
