DESCRIPTION
Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC) is a form of highly purified carbon, which is produced from petroleum coke using the process of calcination. Calcination removes volatile impurities and moisture from petroleum coke, thus increasing its carbon content, which in turn increases its usefulness.
CPC is used in a number of industrial applications, mainly for the production of electrodes in the steel and aluminum industries. It is also used as a raw material for manufacturing carbon products, such as graphite electrodes and anodes, as well as in the production of titanium dioxide and other chemicals.
CPC is produced in rotary kilns or vertical shaft kilns, and the quality of the product depends on the calcination process, temperature and duration. The product is typically screened and sized before being sold to customers.
The following chart shows the typical specification of CPC:
| Property | Value |
|—————————|————————-|
| Fixed Carbon (min) | 98.5% |
| Sulphur (max) | 0.5% |
| Moisture (max) | 0.5% |
| Ash (max) | 0.5% |
| Volatile Matter (max) | 0.5% |
| Real Density (min) | 2.04 g/cm3 |
| Apparent Density (min) | 0.75 g/cm3 |
| Porosity (max) | 50% |
| Specific Resistivity (max)| 50 μΩ·m |
