RESUMO
Abstract The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of high additions of petroleum coke on the rheological properties of coking coal and the quality of cokes produced on pilot scale at the Usiminas R&D Center. For this purpose, blends using petroleum coke additions of 5%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% were produced. The results showed that the blends were able to satisfactorily absorb up to 30% of petroleum coke, keeping the quality (DI, CRI and CSR) similar to the industrial mixture. The observed main textural components were: mosaic, fragmentary, fusite and anisotropic inert. In general, before CRI, cokes showed good cohesion, with the petroleum coke having been absorbed by the coke matrix. After the reaction with CO2, there was verified a preferential consumption of the textures fusite, fragmentary and anisotropic inert due to the Boudouard reaction, besides the deterioration of the interfaces between the petroleum coke and coke matrix. In addition, the results showed that the increase of mosaics contributes to the increase of cokes DI15-150 and CSR. Finally, for the coal blend employed, it is suggested the utilization of a maximum of 30% additions of petroleum coke.
