Abstract
Wet quenching is the most common method of coke cooling. Experiments on wet quenching using water with different parameters are discussed. The coolants employed are treated rainwater and treated phenolic wastewater with different content of inorganic compounds. The impact of the concentration of chlorides and sodium ions in the coolant stream on their final content in the coke was studied. The content of the contaminants in wet-quenched coke depends linearly on their content in the cooling water. It is established that phenolic wastewater may be used in coke quenching. A method is developed for estimating the maximum permissible content of treated phenolic wastewater in the cooling water.
