"Influence of elevated temperature and gas atmosphere on coke abrasion " by Hannah Lomas, Richard Roest et al.
A novel approach was developed to examine coke abrasion resistance in-situ at temperatures of up to 950 °C and in a controlled gas atmosphere using rotational tribological testing. The originality of this approach lay in the ability to apply tribological testing to the porous coke surface at elevated temperatures under a controlled inert or CO2 reactive atmosphere. Coke wear characteristics were quantified via (i) the application of advanced microscopy and image analysis techniques, and (ii) analysis of the coefficient of friction (COF) during tribological testing. Two pilot oven cokes were e...
