Calcined petroleum coke (CPC) is a high-purity carbon material derived from raw petroleum coke through a controlled thermal processing technique. This calcination process removes volatile components, enhances structural stability, and improves conductivity, making CPC an essential material for aluminum smelting, graphite electrode production, titanium dioxide manufacturing, and other industrial applications. It exhibits excellent thermal resistance, low ash content, and high carbon purity, ensuring optimized performance in demanding environments.
Product Overview
Calcined Petroleum Coke is produced by high-temperature calcination of raw petroleum coke at approximately 1300°C. The calcination process removes moisture, volatile components, sulfur, and other impurities from the raw coke. After crushing and screening, different particle sizes of calcined coke are obtained to meet various industrial demands. The product features high density, high purity, low thermal expansion, and excellent thermal shock resistance, making it ideal for a wide range of applications.
