Foundry coke, also known as hard coal coke, is produced innon-recovery coke ovens. It is used for melting iron and other metals such aslead, copper, tin, and zinc in a cupola furnace at foundries. It has denserstructure, high carbon, low ash, and high heating value. The size of thefoundry coke is larger than metallurgical coke. The size specification dependson the size of the cupola furnace. Foundry coke is used as a supporting matrix,reducing agent, and energy carrier during the pig iron manufacturing process.The use of large sized coke offers advantages of lower blasting pressure,increased metal temperature, reduced breakage from handling, and reducedreaction with CO2.
The globalfoundry coke market can be segmented based on furnace size, process,type of metal smelting, and region. In terms of furnace size, the foundry cokemarket can be divided into 600-1200 mm, 1200-1800mm, and above 1800mm. Ingeneral, foundry coke is burned in cupola furnace. The size of the foundry cokeis decided based on the inside diameter of the cupola furnace. The larger thesize of the furnace, the higher the size of foundry coke used.
In termsof process, the foundry coke market can be segregated into beehive process,by-product recovery process, and others. Under the beehive process, bended andcrushed coking coals are placed in a kiln and burnt by restricting air flow.Most of the foundry coke in China is manufactured in a modified version of thebeehive process. It takes eight to 11 days to produce foundry coke through thebeehive process. Under the by-product recovery process, coking coals are heatedin a retort oven until the volatile matter develops. This type of process ismostly used in developing nations. Form-coke and jumbo-ovens are the otherprocesses used in the manufacture of foundry coke. Both these processes areeconomically non-viable due to the high capital and operating costs. Thebeehive process holds the major share of the foundry coke market. This trend islikely to continue throughout the forecast period.

In termsof type of metal smelting, the foundry coke market can be classified into pigiron, copper, zinc, lead, tin, and others. The pig iron segment accounts forthe key share of the market owing to its vast production compared to othermetals. The segment is followed by copper and zinc segments.
In termsof region, the foundry coke market can be divided into North America, Europe,Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. The foundry cokemarket in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a significant pace duringthe forecast period owing to the increase in usage of pig iron for steelproduction in the region. Europe constitutes large share of the foundry cokemarket, followed by North America. The foundry coke market in Latin America andMiddle East & Africa is anticipated to expand at a sluggish pace during theforecast period.
