$AEXE The industry most commonly associated with anthracite is the steel industry. Within the steel making industry, anthracite is used in three processes
1. Pulverized coal injection
2. Basic Oxygen Steel
3. Electric Arc Furnaces
The most common application of anthracite in steel making is in Pulverized Coal Injection (PCI) – a secondary stage of most steel making processes. Anthracite is injected directly into the furnace along with hot air. Using anthracite reduces the amount of coking coal needed in the first stage, and improves the quality of metal produced.
In Basic Oxygen Steel making coke produced from metallurgical coal is used as a reducing agent to take out metal oxides. Anthracite coal used by steel makers can save replacing small amounts of coke with anthracite saving up to 30% in costs. Anthracite coal is also used for the processing of titanium, ferro-chrome, tin and aluminum
Other industrial uses of anthracite:
Water purification and filtration and manufacture of bricks, wire, silicon and glass
· The high carbon content of anthracite makes it the preferred coal for gasification and liquefaction technologies to make urea fertilizers, plastics and high quality synthetic fuels.
In countries such as Ukraine and Vietnam anthracite fuels power stations for electricity generation.
For the large population not on the gas grid anthracite presents the most cost effective and environment friendly option for heating.
The energy sector includes many types of reusable and consumable energies. Coal has not been spotlight because most of us have the association with thermal coal and coking coal, which is not clean. Anthracite, however, is a high BTU, high caloric value, efficient heat-producing material that is necessary (an absolute must) for strong steel and precision metal making.
There are very few if any anthracite coal producers in existence in the United States. Aim Exploration (OTCBB: AEXE) Peru mining concessions has anthracite coal and plenty of it, and hopefully in the future will prove to be a global player for anthracite commodity.
