The invention relates to a method for determining the optical particle size of finely ground gas coal participating in coking and coal blending, which comprises the following steps: firstly, grinding the gas coal according to the different particle size grinding grades; secondly, mixing with a single coal respectively by the same proportion, and obtaining the mixed coal; thirdly, placing all the mixed coal in crucibles respectively, heating at the temperature of 850 DEG C plus or minus 10 DEG C for 13-20 minutes, and weighing the coke weight m respectively; fourthly, rotating in a caking index rotary drum for 250 plus or minus 50 turns respectively, screening respectively, and weighing the coke weight m1 respectively; fifth, further placing into the caking index rotary drum for rotating for 250 plus or minus 50 turns, screening, and weighing the coke weight m2 respectively; sixth, putting all the m, m1 and m2 into a formula that X is equal to (30*m1+70* m2)/m+10 for calculation; and seventh, determining the particle size value with the maximum X value as the optimal particle size of the finely ground gas coal. The method can ensure the reasonable particle size of the coal entering a furnace and lead the quality of the produced coke to be stable.
