PRODUCTION OF CHROME-CONTAINING COKE

PURPOSE:To obtain chrome-contg. coke which exhibits an excellent reducing reaction promoting action etc., and is suitable for production of ferrochromium, by intimately mixing a chrome are powder with a raw material for production of coke and feeding the intimate mixture into a coke oven, followed by carbonization. CONSTITUTION:45wt% or less chrome are powder is intimately mixed with a raw material for production of coke. The intimate mixture is fed into a coke oven, followed by carbonization, thereby obtaining an intended chrome- contg. coke. Alternatively, a chrome-contg. coke may also be prepared by mixing a raw material for production of coke with 45wt% or less chrome ore powder and a binder (e.g., polyvinyl alcohol), molding the mixture and carbonizing the molding in a coke over. In the chrome-contg. coke thus obtd., the chrome component is tightly and integrally united with the coke. Therefore, when it is used as a raw material of reduction treatment, the reducing reaction is advantageously promoted as compared with the case where the reducing reaction is conducted by the conventional method in which coke and chrome ore are each used in the form of a single material.
