Foundry coke is produced using longer coking times that for blast furnace
coke,
often in dedicated facilities. The bulk of oven coke (sized about 40 to 100
millimetres) is used throughout the word in blast furnaces to make iron.
Exceptionally large strong coke, known as foundry coke, is used in foundry
cupolas
to melt iron. Coke in 10- to 25 – millimetre sizes is much used in the
manufacture
of phosphorus and calcium carbide.
