DESCRIPTION
Graphite Petroleum Coke (GPC) is a form of carbon material that is produced by heating crude oil residue (also known as “petcoke”) to high temperatures in a process called thermal cracking. The resulting material is a granular, black, and needle-like substance that has a high carbon content (usually above 95%) and is used primarily as a carbon additive in the production of steel and other metals.
GPC is a high-quality and cost-effective carbon source that has several advantages over other carbon materials. It has low ash content, high carbon content, and is free from impurities such as sulfur and nitrogen. It is also highly conductive, making it an excellent choice for applications that require electrical conductivity, such as in the manufacturing of electrodes for electric arc furnaces.
GPC is commonly used in the steel and aluminum industries, as well as in the production of carbon electrodes and other carbon products. It is also used as a fuel in some industries due to its high energy content.
