Formcoke is produced by introducing feedstocks of calcined coal particles, bituminous binder, an aqueous carbohydrate and phosphoric acid into a mixing zone. The resulting mixture is compacted into shapes, such as briquettes, which are then cured in an oxygen-containing atmosphere and optionally heated to coking temperatures.

Formcoke having modified bituminous binder

Formcoke is produced by separately introducing feedstocks of calcined coal particles, bituminous binder and a carbohydrate, preferably an aqueous sugar, into a mixing zone. The resulting mixture is compacted into shapes, such as briquettes, which are then cured in an oxygen-containing atmosphere and optionally heated to coking temperatures.
