How come Detroit gets it all? Is it ok to use for surfacing the driveway?

 

[petros]

Nope. You could heat your house though.

Teh best use is to burn it for energy in an area that is not sulphur sensitive. If you are going to burn coal to make electricity, might as well burn coke.

In steam train days, anthracite coke was burnt in urban areas, in locomotives, to minimise smoke.

China burns the coke in kilns, then lets the rain 'fertilise the surrounding sulphur deficient areas.Works, sort of.
