The metallurgical process \u2014particularly the production of steel\u2014 is particularly dependent on coke. The characteristics of coke are the high carbon content, strength and low impurities making it usable in a blast furnace. In the metallurgical process, the main role of coke is to provide a heat source and a carbon source reducing agent. It provides the necessary carbon to reduce the iron oxide in the iron ore to pure iron, while also generating the heat required for the smelting process.<\/p>
