DESCRIPTION
Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC) is a by-product of the refining process of crude oil. It is a high-quality carbon material that is used in the production of aluminum, steel, and graphite electrodes. CPC is produced by a process called calcination, which involves heating petroleum coke to high temperatures to remove impurities and volatile matter. The resulting product is a dense, hard, and porous material that has high carbon content and low sulfur content.
CPC is widely used as anode material in the aluminum industry because of its high carbon content and low ash content. Anodes made from CPC are essential to the production of aluminum through the Hall-Heroult process, which involves the electrolysis of alumina to produce aluminum. Anodes made from CPC are also used in other industries, such as steelmaking and ferroalloy production.
The quality of the CPC used as anode material is critical to the performance of the anode. The key properties that determine the quality of CPC include its elemental composition, particle size distribution, and reactivity. The ash content of the CPC is also an important consideration because high ash content can increase the consumption of electricity in the aluminum production process.
