A method for accurately measuring the thermoplasticity of a coal whose thermoplasticity has been difficult to evaluate and determining whether the coal that is to be measured does not significantly reduce the coke strength when used for a coal blend is disclosed. Also disclosed is a method for evaluating a coal used as a raw material for coke and includes using a physical property value relating to a thermoplasticity of a coal as an index for evaluating the coal, wherein a primary or secondary amine including an aromatic ring have been added to the coal, thereby enhancing the thermoplasticity of the coal.

Evaluating method for coal and producing method for coke

A coal mixture is provided that maintains a high level of coke strength after carbonization, even where coal having an excessively large permeation distance is used in a large amount. The coal mixture includes large-permeation-distance coal and permeation-distance-decreasing coal. The permeation-distance-decreasing coal has a mean maximum vitrinite reflectance Ro of 1.25% or more and a total inert amount TI of 30 vol. % or less. The blending ratio of the permeation-distance-decreasing coal in the coal mixture is in a range derived by multiplying the blending ratio of the large-permeation-distance coal by 0.25 or more and 3.0 or less.
