Carbon Products

There are various types of Carbon in scientific engineering world. In steel production sector, Carbon is the main alloying element in steel chemical composition. Carbon atomic size is one of the smallest among the elements, therefore can diffuse inside of steel microstructure network as an interstitial element, i.e., between the main crystal atoms. Different Carbon structures can be used in steel making process, such as CPC, etc. Some Carbon products related to steel making plants are listed below:

Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC)

Petroleum coke manufactured by delayed coking of residues obtained from crude oil distillation units of oil refineries is called green or raw petroleum coke. The said green or raw petroleum coke calcined at a temperature 12000 centigrade to 13000 centigrade is known as calcined petroleum coke.                  Calcined petroleum coke is extensively used for melting purpose of alumina in aluminium industry, as a Carbon raiser while making special high carbon steel in foundries, as a conductive backfill                     in ground electrode station and in manufacture of various Carbon and graphite product.

Calcined petroleum coke is the product from calcining petroleum coke. This coke is the product of the coker unit in a crude oil refinery. The calcined petroleum coke is used to make anodes for the aluminum, steel and titanium smelting industry. Green coke with this low metal content is called anode-grade coke. Here are some applications of CPC: Steel manufacturing industries, Aluminium melting industries, Titanium oxide manufacturing industries, Induction furnace,  Basic oxygen furnace (BOF), Electric arc furnaces (FAF) and ladle furnaces (LF).
