@a6entoren6e Coke is a residue of coal obtained through a process known as destructive distillation. Special ovens are used to burn off the volatile matter—tar, oils and gases— in the coal, leaving mainly fixed carbon. Coke is used primarily in blast furnaces to make pig iron.
@CampKohler lol they dont use the tubs..... unless that was some specific type of tub i don't know about (that could be seeing as i know vary lil about tubs) but even if they did no it would not effect it. see a layer of slag will form at the top, these are any impurity's that happen to go into the mix. the slag remains at the top till the mixture is completely drained or is scraped off the top wile the metal is still hot.
@CampKohler most of it shatters off like glass, what's left burns out as slag which comes out of the upper hole on the side of the furnace, it's essentially black glass when it chills
If I understand it correctly: coke is like charcoal only made with coal. It provides a rich source of carbon which reacts with oxygen in the scrap iron to separate iron from iron oxides. I hadn't seen iron casting done before. Thanks for the video!
I'd be interested in knowing if/how they separate the metals in molten state if something they added wasnt solid iron.. theres a guy locally that melts down thrown away PC parts and separates the gold, iron, silver etc.. but he wont tell me how
