CRI Coke Reactivity Furnace

Description

Verder Scientific's CRI Coke Reactivity Furnace is a specialized instrument for assessing the reactivity of lump coke with carbon dioxide. The test involves exposing coke samples to a CO₂ atmosphere at elevated temperatures, which can reach 1100°C. The furnace measures the gasification rate of the coke, which indicates its chemical reactivity and propensity for physical degradation. This information is vital for predicting how the coke will perform in a blast furnace during ironmaking, as reactivity affects fuel efficiency, gas permeability, and the structural stability of the furnace burden. The furnace provides a controlled environment to conduct this standardized evaluation, supporting quality assessment for coke used in metallurgical processes.
