Product Applications

FERROALLOY PRODUCTION
Ferroalloy production, a submerged Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) is used, loaded with selected and sized raw materials, such as quartz, wood, charcoal and ores. During the process, these raw materials melt and chemically react. The product that leaves the furnace is a molten metal, such as silicon, ferrosilicon, ferronickel, thermal phosphorus, and zirconium. These molten metals are cooled and further processed into the appropriate size and grade for various applications.
Based on the application, Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) Retort Coke, in contrast with normal blast furnace coke and foundry coke, is unique. EAF Retort Coke requires slightly lower CSR (Coke Strength after Reaction), higher CRI (Coke Reactivity Index) and proper Electric Resistivity.
This material has been widely used in the applications for Electric Furnaces in production of Steel, Ferro Alloys, Graphites and Fertiliser industries. Coke is also added to steel ladles to re-carburize the melt after discharge from the furnace.
