Groups of factors characterizing coke quality were listed and, subsequently, an analysis of the possible influence of two of them - connected with coal blend preparation and coke treatment - was conducted. Discussion of the actions concerning the first group focused on the problems relating to homogenization of the coal charge, optimum composition of the coal blend, its proper grain size distribution as well as mechanical and heat treatment of the coal charge prior to its loading into the coking chamber. In the second group presented were the possibilities of coke quality improvement during the processes of coke quenching, preliminary mechanical stabilization, screening, storage and dispatch.
