The quenching apparatus includes a collector or receiver positioned above and connected to a quenching vessel. Incandescent coke pushed from a coke oven is deposited in the receiver and fed at a controlled rate from the receiver into the upper portion of the quenching vessel. Nozzles positioned adjacent the top of the quenching vessel spray quenching water on the incandescent coke as it is introduced into the quenching vessel. A suction device is provided adjacent the lower portion of the quenching vessel to draw the vaporized quenching water downwardly through the bed of quenched coke in the quenching vessel and discharge the quenching vapors to the atmosphere. The bed of quenched coke serves as a filter to remove the particulate material from the quenched water vapor. The quenching vessel has a distributor adjacent the inlet opening to uniformly distribute the incandescent coke introduced into the vessel and other spray nozzles to post-quench the coke and also to precipitate any particulate matter remaining in the quenching vapors. The collector and quenching vessel may be arranged to remain stationary and have the incandescent coke conveyed from the oven to the collector. The collector and quenching vessel may also be connected to the coke quide and hood for movement therewith to the different coke ovens.
