Abstract
The current state of steel, iron, and coke production around the world is reviewed, with a particular focus on Europe. Information is provided regarding the markets for metallurgical coal and coke and their prices; and regarding new technologies for coke production and the repair of refractory battery linings. The current state of coke plant equipment is surveyed, along with developments in the automatic control of coke production.
