Coke is used for smelting iron and steel, orchid charcoal as mentioned before because of fragile can not be used for blast furnace smelting iron and steel. The market price of semicoke is generally far lower than the price of general coke. Coke production is mainly based on high temperature dry distillation, the dry distillation temperature usually needs to reach 1000℃ or so, the output of each large coke furnace can reach 500,000 to 1.1 million tons/year. The production of blue carbon is mainly based on low temperature dry distillation, and the dry distillation temperature is generally about 600℃. The annual output of single furnace of blue carbon furnace is mostly in 30,000 to 50,000 tons/year.
