Abstract: | Indigeneous mineral matter in coals acts catalytically towards graphitization during heat treatment of coals to 2273 K. Nineteen coals of a wide range of rank were demineralized by acid extraction. Original and demineralized coals were carbonized in the range 1073–2273 K, and the resulting cokes examined by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction and phase-contrast high resolution electron microscopy. Optical microscopy indicated the extent of formation of anisotropic carbon in the resultant cokes. The (002) X-ray diffraction profiles indicated three types of catalytic effect, for which electron microscopy demonstrated different crystallite structures and interrelations. The importance of catalytic graphitization in metallurgical cokes in relation to their strength and reactivity is discussed. |
