  ABSTRACT: The 300kg coke sample received from Ajaokuta Steel Plant was subjected to proximate analysis and pilot scale size distribution test. The proximate analysis showed that the coke contains 0.38%, 13.45%, 2.72% and 0.14% of moisture, ash, volatile matter and sulphur respectively; while size distribution test gave micum 10 and micum 40 of 3.62% and 89.67% respectively. Therefore, the coke satisfies the blast furnace requirements for moisture, sulphur and micum strength. However, its ash and volatile contents exceed the specified limits except for Indian standard practice.
