Resumo

A resistência mecânica do coque metalúrgico está intimamente relacionada com sua microestrutura porosa, de forma que o conhecimento quantitativo dos parâmetros microestruturais formada pelos diferentes tipos de carvões pode ser de grande utilidade. Nesse trabalho foram produzidos coques laboratoriais a partir de carvões com diferentes propriedades. A caracterização microestrutural foi realizada a partir de uma metodologia proposta de microscopia ótica associada a análise de imagem. O estudo indica que o teor matéria volátil, fluidez e a composição maceral dos carvões são preponderantes na formação da microestrutura porosa dos coques. O carvão de alta matéria volátil e alta fluidez estudado deu origem a um coque com elevada porosidade e com poros grandes. O carvão ensaiado com elevada quantidade de macerais do grupo da inertinita gerou coque com microestrutura de baixa porosidade, no entanto com grande concentração de poros de baixa circularidade. O carvão e a mistura com conteúdo de matéria volátil e fluidez intermediários deram origem a coques com microestruturas porosas compostas por poros de pequenas dimensões e com formas mais adequadas.

Resumen

The mechanical strength of metallurgical coke is closely related to its porous microstructure, so that the quantitative knowledge of the microstructural parameters formed by the different types of coals can be very useful. In this work laboratory cokes were produced from coals with different properties. The microstructural characterization was performed from a proposed methodology of optical microscopy associated with image analysis. The study indicates that the volatile matter content, fluidity and the maceral composition of the coals are preponderant in the formation of the porous microstructure of the cokes. Coals of high volatile matter and high fluidity studied formed cokes with high porosity and large pores. The coal with high content of the inertinite maceral group gave rise to a coke with microstructure of low porosity, although with great concentration of pores of low circularity. The coal and blend with volatile matter content and fluidity intermediate formed cokes with microstructure composed by pores of small sizes and more suitable forms.
