Preferred Label : green coke;
IUPAC definition : Green coke (raw coke) is the primary solid carbonization product from high boiling
hydrocarbon fractions obtained at temperatures below 900 K. It contains a fraction
of matter that can be released as volatiles during subsequent heat treatment at temperatures
up to approximately 1600 K. This mass fraction, the so-called volatile matter, is
in the case of green coke between 4 and 15 wt.%, but it depends also on the heating
rate.;
Scope note : raw coke is an equivalent term to green coke although it is now less frequently used.
the so-called volatile matter of green coke depends on temperature and time of coking,
but also on the method for its determination.;
