Notice on Convening the “2017 National Symposium on Key Technologies for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction in Metallurgical Coking”

Release date:

2017-07-21

To advance the green transformation of energy conservation and emission reduction in China’s metallurgical coking processes, to exchange new ideas on innovations in coking technology, to share experiences of coking enterprises in areas such as clean production, green practices, and intelligent manufacturing, and to promote the application and development of energy‑saving and emission‑reducing technologies in coking operations—including the resource utilization of coke oven gas, the recovery and reuse of waste heat from raw coke oven gas, the treatment of coke oven flue gases, and the advanced treatment of coking wastewater—the Chinese Society for Metals and the China Coking Industry Association will co‑host the “2017 National Symposium on Key Technologies for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction in Metallurgical Coking” from August 29 to 31, 2017, in Bayuquan, Yingkou. The symposium is co‑organized by the Coking Chemistry Branch of the Chinese Society for Metals, the Liaoning Provincial Society for Metals, Jiangsu Longye Technology Co., Ltd., and other institutions, with the theme “Energy Conservation, Emission Reduction, and Green Coking.”

The meeting focused on discussing advances and existing challenges in areas such as waste heat recovery from the raw coke‑oven gas riser, desulfurization and denitrification of coke oven flue gases, advanced treatment of coking wastewater, further improvements in dry quenching energy efficiency, coal moisture‑control technologies for coking, and the efficient resource‑based utilization of coke oven gas, with the aim of further promoting energy conservation and emission reduction in the steel industry and advancing the green development of the coking sector.

We warmly welcome metallurgical scientists and paper authors from steel enterprises, independent coking companies, research institutions, universities, and other organizations to actively participate in the conference and engage in exchanges.
