Does hot coke react with water?
Thread Content
I would like to ask: When the highly heated coke that comes out of the coking oven enters the quenching tower and water is sprayed on it, does the water react chemically with the coke?
Sure, water gas will be produced
So, during the coking process, it’s not desirable for such things to happen – are there any ways to control it?
The key question is: what is the minimum temperature required for the water-gas reaction to occur?
There will be some chemical reactions, but since water has a high heat capacity, the surface temperature of the coke drops rapidly, so the overall impact is minimal
Choose dry quenching of coke! Dry quenching of coke also produces a reaction! !
