Calcined petroleum coke (CPC) is produced when raw coke is calcined. Calcination is the process of heating materials at high temperatures. In this process, remove the moisture content from the raw coke. Its appearance is a black or dark gray honeycomb structure, which belongs to the easily graphitizable carbon class. Calcined coke is obtained by calcining raw coke at 1300 ℃.
Calcined petroleum coke (CPC) is a high-purity carbon material made by high-temperature calcination.There are three types of petroleum coke, low sulfur, medium sulfur and high sulfur, according to the different sulfur contents. However, the price of petroleum coke after stage is different due to different fixed carbon content.
Calcined Petroleum Coke Manufacturing Process
When manufacturing calcined petroleum coke, Add raw coke to the kiln tail in the rotary kiln, spray gas or heavy oil from the nozzle of the kiln head, and mix and burn with air to form a high-temperature calcination zone. The temperature of the calcination zone reaches 1200-1350 ℃.
The high temperature removes moisture and discharges volatile matter, rearranging the coke crystal structure. Then changing the carbon atom grid level, and undergoing chemical changes, resulting in a dense and conductive product. After some time, it is slowly cooled below 200 ℃, and then can be stored.
Calcined Petroleum Coke Uses
It is mainly used for the pre baked anode and cathode used in electrolytic aluminum, as a carbon raiser in the metallurgical iron and steel industry, and in producing electrodos de grafito and carbon products. At the same time, it is used to produce industrial silicon, yellow phosphorus, and ferroalloys. Specification:(size: 0-1mm, 1-3mm, 3-5mm, 5-8mm).
Aluminum industry: it is a critical component in producing anodes used in aluminum smelting. It provides the necessary carbon content and electrical conductivity required for efficient electrolysis.
Steel Production: Uses as a carbon additive in steel production. It helps increase the steel’s carbon content, enhancing its strength and hardness.
Foundry Industry: It is used a carbon additive for cast castings. Improve the casting quality, reduce casting defects, and promote uniformity in the molten metal.
Graphite Electrode Production: it is a vital ingredient in manufacturing graphite electrodes in electric arc furnaces. Graphite electrodes are essential for the production of steel and other metals.
Carbon Products Manufacturing: it is a raw material in producing carbon products such as carbon brushes, brake pads, and friction materials. Its high carbon content and low impurities make it ideal for such applications.
These are just a few examples of the wide-ranging applications of it. Its unique carbon content, low impurities, and desirable physical properties make it valuable in numerous industries, contributing to its efficiency, productivity, and quality.
Main Features:
It has high carbon content, low ash and sulfur content, and plays an important role in steel production and aluminum smelting production. Because it has excellent thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity at the same time.
In terms of performance, uniform particle size distribution and high carbon content enable efficient combustion and reduce emissions, contributing to environmental sustainability. They are low in volatiles and ash, helping to extend equipment life and reduce maintenance costs.
