Description: This photograph depicts a machine for loading ammonium sulfide into a coke plant converter. This photograph depicts a coke plant's chemical laboratory. Coke plants burn coal to purify it into coke, which can then be used as a fuel in blast furnaces. Blast furnaces use coke to convert iron ore to pig iron, which is the first step in the steelmaking process. The photograph is part of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company Audiovisual Archives, so it likely depicts a Youngstown company plant. View on Ohio Memory.
