Abstract

A raw synthetic caking coal having a volatile matter content of 20 - 70%, H/C (atomic ratio) of 0.60 - 1.20 and a maximum fluidity of greater than 40 ddpm is produced by coking heavy hydrocarbons. Synthetic caking coal having a volatile matter content of 20 - 40%, H/C (atomic ratio) of 0.60 - 0.75, a maximum fluidity of greater than 40 ddpm and a Free-Swelling-Index of greater than 3 is produced from the raw synthetic caking coal by stripping said raw synthetic caking coal with steam or light hydrocarbons.
