Coke has a hard, porous structure, and it is grey in color. It is produced from bituminous coal. Coal is baked in an airless furnace at a very high temperature (above 2000 degrees Celsius) to remove water, gas and coal-tar, and at the end of the coking process, it contains zero amount of water. However, later small amount of water can be absorbed by the porous structure. Coke is useful as a fuel in stoves and furnaces. It burns with no smoke; therefore, better as a fuel than bituminous coal itself. Coke is also used as a reducing agent in smelting iron ore.
