Author described the trend of metallurgical coke refering to the tendency of iron and steel industries, the problem of coking coals, the quality of metallurgical coke, and the present and future coke production methods, and added his opinions. On the above subjects, the problems on the metallurgical coke that should be researched and considered in future, are explained, final remarks are as follows.
(1) The iron and steel products in japan are not considered to increase rapidly in near future. On the other hand, the problem of lowering caking property (fluidity) of coal and increasing of inert matter of coal will be considered, moreover blast furnace will be changed to larger scale. Consequently coke quality will be required higher, and it should be required to discuss and resolve this problem.
(2) On the other hand, there are many problenms to be resolved in the techiques of coke production, they are rationalization of eqiupments, saving manpower, saving energy, antipollution system, automation and effective utilization of coals etc.
(3) In any case, it will be future important problem that how to decrease the coke production cost by means of establishment of techiniques should be considered.
(4) Summarizing the future problems on the metallurgical coke, as to the pollution problem, the closed system of waste water and Larger scale equipment of removing nitrogen oxide in waste gas should be developed, and as to the plant problem, automation, saving man power and effective usage of not utilize raw materials are required, and establisment of formed coke process is also desired.
The anthor considers that all the engineers and researchers in Japan should cooperate and make efforts to resolve problems written above.
