Coking coal, also known as metallurgical coal, is a type of coal that is used in the production of steel. It is a high-quality coal with a high carbon content and low sulfur and ash content. The coking coal industry involves the mining of this type of coal and its use in the steelmaking process.
The coking coal industry works by extracting coking coal from the earth and transporting it to steel mills, where it is used in the steelmaking process. Coking coal is typically mined from underground deposits using underground mining techniques, such as room and pillar mining or longwall mining. Once the coal is extracted, it is transported to a steel mill, where it is heated in a furnace to produce coke. Coke is a solid fuel made from coking coal that is used to heat the blast furnace where steel is produced.
