Hot and cold strengths of cokes are important for determining value in use of metallurgical coals. Strengths depend on coal rank, inert content and mineral/ash chemistry. For some coals, however, these parameters do not always account for and dictate the actual strengths of their cokes. In this study, various minerals were individually added (1% level) in both coarse and fine sizes to two good coking coals of different origins and rank in a pilot sole-heated oven to determine effects of mineral type and size on coke quality (CSR, CRI, I600, porosity). Main findings of this investigation are discussed.
