Calcined Petroleum Coke
Calcined petroleum coke(CPC) is a critical ingredient in the production of aluminum. It is created by placing high quality raw "green" petroleum coke into rotary kilns, where it is heated to temperatures between 1200 to 1350 ˚C (2192 to 2460 ˚F). The high temperatures remove excess moisture, extract all remaining hydrocarbons and modify the crystalline structure of the coke, resulting in a denser more electrically conductive product. In a matter of hours, calcined petroleum coke is cooled from 1350 ˚C to less than 200 ˚C, when it can be safely handled and transported to storage silos or placed directly into shipping containers, trucks, railcars, barges or vessels.

Calcined petroleum coke has a sponge-like structure which plays an important role in the making of anodes. The pores allow binding material to penetrate through the coke particles and form a solid carbon block, through which aluminum smelters conduct electricity into their smelting pots. Over time, the anodes are consumed, roughly at the rate of 40 tons of calcined petroleum coke for each 100 tons of aluminum produced. Currently, there is no known commercially viable substitute for calcined petroleum coke in the fabrication and utilization of aluminum smelter anodes.

The majority of Morkin's calcined petroleum coke finds its way into the primary aluminum industry while another large segment is used in the steel industry as a recarburizing agent. Other uses include the production of titanium dioxide, which is used as a pigment for paint, plastics, sunscreens and food coloring.



Application


CPC is a crucial ingredient in the anodes used during the electrolytic production of aluminum worldwide. Without aluminum, some of the most essential elements of our society are not possible — such as high-tension electrical wire for energy transmission and aircraft for commercial flight.In addition to well-known uses of CPC in the aluminum and titanum dioxide (TiO2) industries, CPC can also be used in many specialty industrial applications, either directly or after further processing.
These include:
- Cathodic protection and electrical grounding for underground construction
- Packing material for anodes during the baking process
- Carbon raisers used by the steel industry
- Electrodes for steel recycling
