METHOD OF INHIBITING DUST FORMATION WHEN FEEDING COAL INTO COKING CHAMBERS

摘要

One of the problems encountered when feeding dry or preheated coal into coking chambers resides in that dust is generated. This dust is undesirable since it can form deposits which are difficult to remove. A method of inhibiting the dust formation when coal is fed into coking chambers is disclosed. The method involves contacting the coal with used motor oil prior to the introduction of the coal into the coking chambers. The utilization of used motor oil for inhibiting dust formation provides the advantages of economy and reduction of environmental pollution.
