US Patent:

8287696, Oct 16, 2012
Filed:

Sep 8, 2009
Appl. No.:

12/555496
Inventors:

Robert A. Kramer - Crown Point IN, US
Libbie S. W. Pelter - Schereville IN, US
Harvey Abramowitz - Chicago IL, US
Hardarshan S. Valia - Highland IN, US
Allen Ellis - Crown Point IN, US
Assignee:

Purdue Research Foundation - West Lafayette IN
International Classification:

C10B 47/00
C10B 53/00
US Classification:

201 1, 201 4, 201 24, 201 29
Abstract:

A new approach to the production of coke. In this process multiple optimized value streams are produced from a coke facility located at mine mouth or locally at an existing plant. As part of the process, lower cost Indiana/Illinois Basin-type coals are blended with conventional metallurgical coals. The blending process is optimized to meet coke quality requirements and simultaneously to obtain a pyrolysis gas composition suitable for production of ancillary products including liquid transportation fuels, fertilizer, hydrogen, and electricity. By using lower cost Indiana/Illinois Basin coal it is possible to reduce net coal costs. This process provides a new direction and approach for the production of coke in the future that optimizes value over multiple product streams while reducing both business and technological risk.

US Patent:

7611609, Nov 3, 2009
Filed:

May 1, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/846829
Inventors:

Hardarshan S Valia - Highland IN, US

Assignee:

ArcelorMittal Investigacion y Desarrollo, S. L. - Sestao, Bizkaia
International Classification:

C10B 45/02
C01B 31/00
US Classification:

201 5, 201 6, 201 20, 201 22, 202248, 202251, 264 291, 264 296
Abstract:

A method for producing non-recovery/heat recovery coke may include the steps of providing a container, disposing a volume of loose coal into the container such that a vertical dimension of the volume of loose coal in the container is smaller than a horizontal dimension of the volume of loose coal, applying a force to the coal in the container to produce a volume of compacted coal having a substantially uniform density which is larger than that of the loose coal, disposing the compacted coal into a non-recovery/heat recovery type oven, and heating the compacted coal to produce coke. The method may also include the steps of providing a container, and moving the non-recovery/heat recovery coke mass from the oven at a substantially constant elevation to the container, quenching the coke mass in the container to produce a quenched coke mass, and removing the quenched coke mass from the container.
