Preferred Label : coke;
IUPAC definition : A solid high in content of the element carbon and structurally in the non-graphitic
state. It is produced by pyrolysis of organic material which has passed, at least
in part, through a liquid or liquid-crystalline state during the carbonization process.
Coke can contain mineral matter.;
Scope note : as some parts, at least, of the carbonization product have passed through a liquid
or liquid-crystalline state, the resulting non-graphitic carbon is of the graphitizable
variety. from a structural viewpoint, the term coke characterizes the state of graphitizable
carbon before the beginning of graphitization.;
