| Abstract Scope |
The blending of shaft and rotary calcined cokes has become relatively common in the aluminum smelting industry. One of the widespread concerns with shaft coke is the view it is more “dusty” than rotary cokes. This can be an issue when handling shaft coke at storage facilities and when importing/exporting over dock facilities. To understand the relative risk of fugitive dust generation during handling shaft coke, a study was made comparing the degradation tendencies of shaft coke compared to rotary coke when tested under the same conditions. Tests simulating coke conveying (“coke on coke”) and coke dropping (“coke impact”) were developed. The results of this study are presented. |
