Benefits of Graphite Electrode Scrap

• Strong recyclability. With advanced recycling technology and process, it can efficiently reintegrate the scrap. The recovery rate can reach 96% or more. It greatly reduces the scrap of resources, saves a lot of raw material procurement costs for enterprises. And the recycling process is relatively simple and fast. It can achieve large-scale scrap recycling in a short time, effectively improving the resource recycling efficiency of enterprises.

• Potential heat utilization value. In high temperature environment, graphite electrode scrap can absorb and store heat stably. And its heat capacity is high, which can be used as a high-quality heat exchange medium in industrial heat cycling system. And it reduces energy consumption and improves energy efficiency.

• Have a certain basis for electrical conductivity. It can be used as an auxiliary conductive material. In the manufacturing or circuit repair of electronic components that have low requirements for conductivity but require certain conductive properties.

• The chemical stability is relatively high. It can withstand the erosion of corrosive substances such as strong acids and alkali. This extends the service life of containers, and reduces equipment maintenance costs and downtime caused by chemical corrosion.

• Moderate density for easy handling. It is neither too heavy to increase the difficulty of transportation and handling, nor too light to handle. The scrap can reduce the loss and energy consumption of the equipment. It also improves the treatment efficiency, and facilitates enterprises to carry out large-scale reprocessing and utilization of graphite electrode scrap.

• The impurity content is in the separable range. Through conventional physical separation methods such as screening, flotation and chemical purification means, the impurity content can be reduced to an extremely low level. So that the purified graphite electrode scrap can meet the higher requirements of industrial applications.

Uses of Graphite Electrode Scraps

• Recycled graphite electrode manufacturing: After a specific process treatment, graphite electrode scrap can be re-used as part of the raw material for manufacturing graphite electrodes. This can effectively saves resources.

• Manufacturing carbon electrodes: Graphite electrode craps are used as a raw material for the production of carbon electrodes mainly because it can significantly improve the conductivity of carbon electrodes. In addition, it can also enhance the mechanical strength of carbon electrodes and make their structure more stable.

• Production of cathode carbon blocks: After adding graphite chips to the production of cathode carbon blocks, the resistance of the cathode carbon blocks is reduced, which is more conducive to electrolysis. At the same time, the graphite is soft, making the processing and molding of cathode carbon blocks easier.

• Steel carburizer: In the steel making process, the addition of treated graphite electrode scrap can accurately adjust the carbon content of the molten steel. And it also improves the quality of the steel.

• Refractory additives: Added to refractory materials, it can enhance its high temperature resistance and structural stability. Therefore, it can extend the service life of refractory materials.
