Abstract
Coke production is a major pollution source since the presence high carbon content and other impurities. Therefore, instead of one specific coal, the blended coal should be designed which may help in achieving better coal properties due to selection of optimum metallurgical content. In present study linear programming approach has been used to achieve desirable proportion of constituents. MATLAB programming has been incorporated further, for making coal blends having diverse characteristics and exhibit various applications e.g. blast furnace in steel production industries etc. Seven coal samples are used for making coal blends. Results indicate that low ash, low moisture, low Sulphur ensures superior coke production with improved efficiency of coke oven plant and coke quality.
