Coke substitution with anthracite in sintering production

Abstract

This article summarises the possibility of replacing the coke breeze sintering fuel with an economically and ecologically more suitable fuel, anthracite. The main focus is on the possibility of replacing coke breeze with anthracite, during which, the replacement process is accelerated and the other properties are also affected. The analyses performed showed that the replacement of coke breeze with different amounts of anthracite does not have a negative effect if the initial permeability of the sintering bed is the same.
