DESCRIPTION
Graphitized petroleum coke is a high-quality carbon material produced from petroleum coke by high-temperature graphitization process. It is an ideal material for steelmaking and other metallurgical applications due to its high carbon content, low ash content, and low sulfur content.
In the steelmaking industry, graphitized petroleum coke is used as a carbon additive to increase the carbon content of the steel. It is added to the molten iron in the ladle during the steelmaking process, where it reacts with the oxygen present in the iron to form carbon monoxide gas. This gas helps remove the impurities such as sulfur, phosphorus, and oxygen from the molten iron, resulting in a high-quality steel with improved strength and durability.
Moreover, graphitized petroleum coke also acts as a reducing agent during the steelmaking process. It reacts with the iron oxides present in the molten iron to reduce them to metallic iron, which further reduces the amount of impurities in the steel.
Graphitized petroleum coke is also used as an electrode material in electric arc furnaces for steelmaking. It is a preferred choice for this application due to its high thermal and electrical conductivity, which helps facilitate the efficient conversion of electrical energy to heat energy during the steelmaking process.
