TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of pressure on the optical properties of cokes from a medium volatile bituminous coal (carbon = 87.9 wt% daf), some carbonized at atmospheric pressure and others under hydraulic pressure (21-310 MPa), over temperatures ranging from 350 to 600 °C at 50 °C intervals, was studied.
