DESCRIPTION
Graphitized petroleum coke (GPC) is a high-quality carbon additive that is produced by heating green petroleum coke to high temperatures (up to 3000°C) in a furnace under a controlled environment. The result is a pure carbon material with high carbon content, low ash content, and low sulfur content.
GPC is used as a raw material for the production of carbon electrodes, used in the electricity industry for the production of steel and other metals. Carbon electrodes are also used in the production of aluminum and titanium, as well as in the manufacturing of graphite-based products such as fuel cells and semiconductors.
The use of GPC in the production of carbon electrodes has several advantages. Firstly, it provides a homogeneous structure, which results in improved electrical conductivity and better mechanical strength. Secondly, it has higher purity, which translates into less impurities in the final product. Finally, it is a cost-effective solution, as it is less expensive than other raw materials that can be used for the production of carbon electrodes.
The quality of GPC is determined by its carbon content, its ash content, its sulfur content, its volatile content, its impurities, and its particle size. The quality of GPC also depends on the source of the green petroleum coke used for its production. The quality of GPC can vary depending on the grade used in the production process, and the specific requirements of the end-users.
Graphitized petroleum coke is a crucial component in the production of high-quality carbon electrodes used in a wide range of applications across industries. Its unique properties and cost-effectiveness make it an ideal choice for the production of carbon electrodes used in a variety of industrial applications.
