Following this introduction, the Chapter provides an overview of coal utilisation in metallurgy,
including a detailed description of blast-furnace operation in ironmaking. It also includes a review of
coke properties that are critical to successful blast-furnace operation as well as some of the standard
tests used in their determination, before looking at iron- and steel-production processes that use coal
rather than coke, and coal use in non-ferrous metal smelting.
