Preheating of coal charge for the coke ovens reduces the __________________?

Correct answer: D. All A., B. and C.

  • A. Time of carbonisation
  • B. Yield of gas and tar
  • C. Fuel consumption in coking
  • D. All A., B. and C.

Explanation

Preheating removes moisture and raises the initial temperature of the charge, so carbonisation takes less time and requires less firing fuel. It can also reduce the recovery of gas and tar by driving off some volatile matter before or during charging.
