Coke is the solid carbonaceous residue that remains after certain types of coal are heated to a high temperature out of contact with air. The process of heating coal in this manner is referred to as carbonization or coke making.
When coal is strongly heated continuously for 42 to 48 hours in the absence of air in a closed vessel, the process is known as carbonisation of fuel.
