DESCRIPTION
Calcined petroleum coke (CPC) is a high quality carbon material which is produced by heating green petroleum coke to a temperature between 1200 and 1350°C. CPC is primarily used in the production of carbon anodes for the manufacture of aluminum, but it is also used in steelmaking as a recarburization agent to add carbon to the molten steel.
CPC is an essential component in the production of steel. It provides the carbon needed to produce the desired chemical composition and mechanical properties in steel. Steelmakers use recarburization agents such as CPC to adjust the carbon content in the molten steel and control the carbon equivalent (CE) of the final product.
The usage of CPC in steel production also helps to reduce the overall cost of steelmaking. By using CPC as a recarburization agent, steelmakers can reduce the amount of expensive graphite electrodes needed to produce high-quality steel.
In addition to its use in steelmaking, CPC is also used in other applications such as production of titanium dioxide in the chemical industry, and in the production of electrodes for the aluminum and steel industries.
