Toutes les houilles ne sont pas aptes à produire du coke; seules les houilles dites grasses ont un indice de gonflement suffisant, qui permet la fabrication d’un coke de qualité : on dit qu'elles ont un pouvoir agglutinant, ou cokéfiant. Les charbons lorrains sont peu cokéfiables, mais, en les mélangeant intimement à des «fines à coke» importées, on sait maintenant fabriquer une «pâte à coke» qui se comporte comme un véritable charbon cokéfiable. 8, record 2, French, - charbon%20cok%C3%A9fiable
