DESCRIPTION
Low moisture calcined petroleum coke is a high-grade carbon material produced by the high temperature treatment of petroleum coke with low moisture content, usually less than 0.5%. This type of coke is used in the manufacturing of electrodes for the steel and aluminum industries, as well as for the production of anodes for the aluminum industry.
The low moisture content of this coke reduces the amount of energy needed for its calcination, resulting in lower production costs and a more energy-efficient process. The low moisture content also improves the impurity levels and electrical conductivity of the coke, making it ideal for use in high-performance applications.
Low moisture calcined petroleum coke is produced using a rotary kiln technology, where petroleum coke is thermally treated at high temperatures between 1200 to 1350 °C, in the presence of air or oxygen. During this process, the moisture content of the coke is removed, and impurities such as sulfur and ash are also eliminated, resulting in a product with high carbon content and low impurities.
