Fan Weitang, the current Vice Minister of the MOCI, headed that group. They visited the U.S.A. to observe ra id underground tunnel development using tunnel boring machines, The c-felegation consisted of 8 members from the coal, construction, petroleum. and railway industries. Since this occurred prior to the official di lomatic tie between the U.S. and China in 1979, all interaction between tRe two countries was on a person-to-person basis. The article discusses some of the meetings with delegates in China.
9wo12Q2 The effect of swelling pressure during coal carbonization on coke pororlty Nomura. S. and Thomas, K. M. Fuel, Jan. 1996, 75. (2), 187-194. In coken+ing, the generation of swell$g pressure is p important consideration smce excesswe pressures result m problems with ushine[ the coke and in extreme cases, damage to coke ovens may occur. PII this mvestigation, the effect of swelling pressure generated durin coal carbonixation in coke ovens on coke porosity was studied. The swe& pressure was measured using movable-wall test oven. The as pressure m the plastic layer and the swelling pressure were monitored %uring the carbonization of coals in the test coke ovens. 95/01293 Evaluation of coke quality by Mlcum, IRSID and Nlppon Steel Co. methods Dlugosx, A. ef al., Karbo-Energochem.-Ekol., 1995, 40, (5), 121, 123-125.

The authors compare three coking processes: the heat-recovery oven, formed coke making and jumbo coking reactor. The latter operates with preheated coal, program-controlled heating, and integrated pollution wntrol system, and offers good coke quality from various coal grades, a favotiable heat balance, &d greately-redu-&d emissions. -
