Abstract: Coke products configured to be combusted in a cupola furnace are disclosed herein. The coke products can include foundry coke products having a hydraulic diameter of at least 3.5?, egg coke products having a hydraulic diameter of 1.5-3.5?, and breeze coke products having a hydraulic diameter of 0.5-1.5?. Individual foundry coke products can comprise an oblong shape including a length of at least 4?, a width of at least 1.5?, and a length:width ratio of at least 2.0. In some embodiments, the length of individual coke products can be between 6-12? and the width can be at least 2.5?. Additionally, the foundry coke products can have a Coke Reactivity Index (CRI) of at least 40%. The coke products can be made from a blend of coal and breeze coke products in horizontal ovens, such as horizontal heat recovery or horizontal non-recovery ovens.

Abstract: High quality coke products made in horizontal ovens such as heat recovery, non-recovery or Thompson ovens from an optimized coal blend. The coke products have unique properties such as an oblong shape and improved Coke Strength after Reaction (CSR) and Coke Reactivity Index (CRI) properties.

Abstract: The present technology is generally directed to providing beds of coking material to charge a coking oven. In various embodiments, a quantity of first particulate material, having a first particulate size and bulk density, is combined with a second particulate material, having a second particulate size and bulk density, to define a multi-modal bed of coking material. The multi-modal bed of coking material exhibits an optimized bulk density that is greater than an ideal bulk density predicted by a linear combination of the bulk densities of the individual materials.

Abstract: High quality coke products including unique properties, such as Coke Reactivity Index (CRI) properties, fixed carbon content, and sulfur content.
