In low temperature carbonisation of coal, the________________?

Correct answer: C. Temperature maintained is 700°C

  • A. Yield of coke oven gas is 290 Nm3 /ton dry coal
  • B. Volatile matter in coke is zero
  • C. Temperature maintained is 700°C
  • D. Yield of tar is about 3% of dry coal

Explanation

Low-temperature carbonisation is carried out roughly in the 500–700°C range, with about 700°C commonly used as its upper operating temperature. It produces tar-rich products, while the coke still retains some volatile matter.
