Description
Coke tar is a by-product of this process. Also known as coal tar, tar is one of the important products of the coking industry. Its composition is extremely complex, and in most cases, it is specifically separated and purified by the coal tar industry for utilization. Coke plant tar has various applications, mainly including chemical raw materials and industrial applications, construction materials and energy fields, as well as pharmaceuticals and pesticides. This dataset includes primary raw and auxiliary materials, energy inputs, atmospheric emissions, water discharges, and waste generated during the production process. Infrastructure such as production equipment manufacturing and factory construction are not included within the system boundaries of this dataset. The dataset was compiled from data sourced from multiple origins. Coke production activities include processes such as coke refining, cooling, and screening.

Technology comment
Coking involves heating coal to above 1000°C under oxygen-deficient conditions, causing it to undergo pyrolysis reactions that produce coke and by-products (such as gas and tar). After coke formation, it requires cooling, screening, and quality inspection.
