Trace metals in coal are in widely varying concentrations, depending on the rank and geological origin. During coal utilization, these metals transform from solid phase to gas phase or liquid phase at high temperature, which magnify their adverse impact on environment. 1r5 Over the last few decades, much research6r10 has been conducted on the distribution and transformation of trace metals during coal thermal processing. Among them, most investigations focused on combustion and gasification due to the huge consumption of coal, and just a few researchers11r14 studied pyrolysis. Coking is a kind of pyrolysis. Coke produced by coal coking in a coke oven is a necessary raw material for modern iron and steel making. Besides the electric power industry and the chemicals industry, the coke industry is another major coal consumer, especially in China. About 10% of coals produced in the world are processed into coke. 14 As the largest coke producer and consumer in the world, China consumed 460 million tons coal and produced 350 million tons coke in 2009, which accounts for over 59% of the total world output. Moreover, with the capacity expansion of the iron and steel industry of China, coke production and consumption are still increasing. 15 Unfortunately, it is difficult to predict or control heavy metal emissions from a full scale coking process due to lacking of related basic data. This study is trying to provide some useful information about distribution and transformation of trace metals such as Hg, As, Pb, and Cr during coking process by investigating a full-scale coke oven in China. Furthermore, the research also has a positive influence on estimating the total emission of Hg, As, Pb, and Cr in the coke industry of China. The experiments were carried out in a large-scale coke oven plant in an iron and steel complex. The height of the chamber of the coking oven is 6.0 m. The capacity of the oven is 140 t/h, and the operating temperature range was 950r1050 C. The
