What is the composition of petroleum coke and what is its use?

Answer:

Mainly used for making carbon products, such as graphite electrodes, anode arc, steel, non-ferrous metals, with aluminum for use; silicon carbide products, such as grinding wheel, rubber, sandpaper; producing goods for the production of synthetic fiber, calcium carbide acetylene and other products; also can be used as fuel for fuel, but for grading impact for grinding superfine grinding, through the JZC-1250 device can be made of coke powder after combustion, using coke powder as fuel is mainly some glass factory, coal water slurry plant etc..
Medium sulphur and common cooked coke; used in large quantities for aluminium smelting. High sulfur, ordinary coke is used in chemical production, such as the manufacture of calcium carbide, silicon carbide, etc., but also as a metal casting and other fuels. Most of the petroleum coke produced in China belongs to low sulfur coke, which is mainly used for smelting aluminium and making graphite.
Petroleum coke can be used for the manufacture of graphite, smelting and chemical industries, depending on its quality. For example, the quality of cooked sweet coke coke, mainly used in the manufacture of ultra high power graphite electrode and some special carbon products; needle coke in steelmaking industry is an important material new technology development of EAF steelmaking.
