Phenol based resol type resin was used as a binder in coke making and the effects of the binder on coke strength studied. The results have indicated that addition of binder improves the coke hot strength (CSR) and coke cold strength (M40). The optimum quantity was determined as 0·3%. Petrographic analysis shows an agreement with the coke strength.
