low-temperature carbonization
Carbonization carried out at a low temperature (between 500 degrees C and 700 degrees C). During the process, the smoke-producing compounds are driven off as tars and oils and collected as valuable byproducts, leaving a coke with about 10% volatile matter. The coke yield is about 1,400 lb/st (700 kg/t) and is used as a domestic fuel.
