DESCRIPTION
High Carbon Graphitized Petroleum Coke (GPC) is an important raw material used in the production of ferroalloys. Ferroalloys are a group of alloys consisting of iron and one or more other elements such as silicon, manganese, chromium, and others. These alloys are used as additives in the production of steel and other alloys to improve their properties such as hardness, strength, and corrosion resistance.
The use of high carbon GPC in the production of ferroalloys offers several advantages. First, it provides a source of carbon for the alloying process, which is necessary for the reduction of oxides and the formation of carbides. Second, the graphitization process increases the carbon content and improves the purity of the coke, which results in better alloying performance. Finally, high carbon GPC has a low sulfur and ash content, which reduces the potential for slag formation during the alloying process.
The production of high carbon GPC involves the calcination of petroleum coke in a high-temperature furnace. During this process, the volatile components are removed, and the carbon content is increased through graphitization. The resulting product is then crushed and screened to the desired size.
High carbon GPC is typically used in the production of ferrochrome, ferrosilicon, and other ferroalloys. The amount of GPC used in the alloying process depends on several factors such as the desired carbon content of the final alloy, the composition of the other alloying elements, and the specific requirements of the end-use application.
