Abstract—The gross calorific value of wet-quenched blast-furnace coke fluctuates significantly as a function of the piece size. It is greatest for the <25 mm size class: 33.0 MJ/kg or more. The degree of conditioning of the coke, assessed in terms of the volatile matter and its actual density, has considerable influence on the gross calorific value. The less conditioned blast-furnace coke obtained from coke-battery 1 at MK Azovstal is characterized by higher gross calorific value of its size classes. The gross calorific value of blast-furnace coke provides another measure of its conditioning (its readiness for use).
