MULTI-MODAL BEDS OF COKING MATERIAL

摘要

The present technology is generally directed to providing beds of coking material to charge a coking oven. In various embodiments, a quantity of first particulate material, having a first particulate size and bulk density, is combined with a second particulate material, having a second particulate size and bulk density, to define a multi-modal bed of coking material. The multi-modal bed of coking material exhibits an optimized bulk density that is greater than an ideal bulk density predicted by a linear combination of the bulk densities of the individual materials.

主权项

1. A method of preparing a multi-modal bed of two or more materials to charge a coking oven in the process of manufacturing coke, the method comprising:
providing a quantity of first particulate material having a first particulate size; providing a quantity of second particulate material having a second particulate size, wherein the second particulate size is smaller than the first particulate size; combining the first particulate material with the second particulate material to define the multi-modal bed of material; and processing the multi-modal bed of material in the coking oven.
