Raw materials Steel production. Coke. Coking coal is converted to coke by driving off impurities to leave almost pure carbon. The coking coal is crushed and washed. It is then purified or carbonised in a series of coke ovens, known as batteries, where the coking coal is heated to 1000-1100 C in the absence of oxygen for 12-36 hours.
