The high temperature flue is introduced into the preheating segment through the bottom flue, and then dehydrate and preheat the coal material, meanwhile, the heat in the coke dry quenching segment is transferred to the heat storage chamber through the centrifugal fan arranged at the end of the preheating chamber of the coke dry quenching segment, so as to combust the coal gas only with hot air. This may not only significantly reduce the amount of coal gas consumed for carbonizing the coal material, but also allow the flue to be transferred to heat recovery steam boiler through the branch flue, and the main flue, thereby minimum the energy for coking in this coking system.

  • 3. It may carbonize and coke the coal material such as anthracite coal with less than 13% fugitive constituent when used as the main coal material put into the furnace, or the coal material containing non coking coal, so as to produce high quality foundry coke and metallurgical coke, broaden the scope of resourcing, reduce the cost, achieve low coal consumption rate, high product recovery rate, and high rate of finished product.
  • 4. The remaining chemical product such as coal gas, tar oil and crude benzol during the process of coking can be completely recovered. And the remaining clean coal gas can be used in the internal combustion engine for power generation, and the residual heat after coking may be used in steam turbine generator for power generation, and may achieve low cost of power generation, and high economic value added. The tons of coke consumption is less than 150 kg/standard coal, the partial heat generated is used for carbonization, and the rest heat can be used for power generation, so as to save energy.
  • 5. The use of hot air for combustion with coal gas and the carbonization of coal material after being preheated may significantly enhance the utilization rate of heat energy, reduce the coking time consumed, and increase the yield.
  • 6. When the coal material with less than 13% fugitive constituent, such as anthracite coal, and coke powder, is used in the production, there is no need for chemical product recovery as such coal material barely contains the chemical products such as tar oil, and benzene, so that it may avoid the generation of carcinogens such as phenol and benzopyrene. The dry quenching process is very simple, and realizes the protection and sufficient utilization of the water resource. The desulfurization and dedusting with flue may achieve clean flue exhausted, so as to effectively protect the external environment, and realize clean production.
