Understanding of the connection between coke structure, texture, strength, reactivity and parent coal blend requires a reliable tool for structural and textural characterization of coke. The automated CSIRO optical image analysis software Mineral4/Recognition4 performs the major tasks required for coke characterization, namely:
• Collection of large, high-resolution MozaiX images, including bireflectance images obtained with automated polarizer.
• Structural identification of inert and reactive maceral-derived components.
• Identification of different carbon types.
• Measurement and calculation of comprehensive structural/textural descriptors.
Together with its capabilities to comprehensively characterize iron ore fines, lumps, sinter and pellets, Mineral4/Recognition4 becomes a universal characterization tool for ironmaking research/industry.
