Abstract
characteristics of coke produced in coke oven are undoubtedlyinfluenced by the kind, quality, size of the raw coal besides heating condition of cokeoven, etc.
Whenever coke is manufactured in coke oven under the almost same state in point ofthese factors, it is presumed that characteristics of coke will change according to itslocation in the chamber of coke oven.
As any systematic investigations on the subject, however, seem not to have made sofar yet, the present authors took up this problem.
As the result of experiments conducted fundamentally, as well as practically, it isascertained that of the two fundamental elements obvoiusly influencing the characteristicsof coke in this case, i. e. the bulk density of coal charge and the temperaturedistribution in the coke chamber, the former has to have more powerful influence uponthe quality of coke rather than the latter.
