Application of Residual Pole in the Production of Electrode Paste

 The residual electrode is the part that must be replaced with a new anode from the electrolytic cell in order to prevent the steel claws from melting after the pre-baked anode has been used in the electrolytic cell for a period of time. After high-temperature roasting, the residual pole has higher mechanical strength and lower porosity than petroleum coke. Using residual pole as a raw material for the production of carbon products can improve the quality of carbon products to a certain extent.

As the "heart" of the calcium carbide furnace, the electrode paste, which is called a carbon functional material, requires sufficient strength and thermal shock resistance. With the advent of the low-carbon era, it is an inevitable trend for large enclosed calcium carbide furnaces to replace small semi-closed calcium carbide furnaces and open calcium carbide furnaces. Therefore, higher requirements for the quality of electrode paste are also put forward.

Rongxin Carbon has been specialized in producing electrode paste for more than 20 years. The engineers in the factory made special experiments to explore the effect of the addition of residual electrodes on the electrode paste. Experiments show that after adding the residual electrode, the pressure resistance of the electrode paste is improved, and other indicators are also optimized. When the particle size is 8-20mm and the addition ratio is 20%, the electrode paste has the best effect on improving the compressive strength and bulk density, and effectively reduces the resistivity and ash content.

After the residual electrode is used at high temperature, the structure is compact and the porosity is low. The amount of binder used during kneading can be appropriately reduced, and the kneading temperature should be appropriately increased to increase the degree of infiltration of the binder to the anode and the plasticity of the paste. The volatile content of the residual electrode is small. Adding it can reduce the volatile content of the electrode paste, reduce the unit consumption of the electrode paste, and also reduce the environmental pollution during use, improve the working environment of workers, and reduce the cost of electrode paste production in the factory.

Study on impurities in high purity flake graphite

Image
 　　For the analysis of trace impurities in high-purity flake graphite, the sample is usually pre ashed or wet digested to remove carbon, the ash is dissolved with acid, and then the impurity content in the solution is determined. The ashing method does not need to use ultra pure acid to dissolve the ash, thus avoiding the risk of introducing the elements to be measured, so it is used more. It is also very difficult to detect the ash content of high-purity flake graphite, because the enriched ash needs to be burned at high temperature, and it is difficult to separate the ash from the sample boat at high temperature, which makes it impossible to accurately determine the composition and content of impurities. 　　The existing methods all take advantage of the characteristic that the platinum crucible does not react with acid, use the platinum crucible to burn the high-purity flake graphite to enrich ash, and then directly heat the sample in the crucible with acid to dissolve th

General technical index requirements for electrode paste

Image
 Electrode occupies an important position in submerged arc furnace. The working conditions of the electrode are bad, the current passing through is high, the temperature difference between the two ends is large, and the production is affected by the impact of mechanical, electrical and charge collapse... Mechanical strength, higher electrical resistivity, better thermal shock resistance, oxidation resistance and smaller thermal expansion coefficient. Generally speaking, the quality of electrode paste is controlled by the following five indicators: 1. Ash: Ash is the residue of electrode paste when it is burnt to constant weight at 850℃-870℃. It belongs to inorganic minerals. It has high ash resistivity, poor strength, high power consumption, and large electrode consumption. In the event of a hard breaking accident, the ash content is a very important indicator, and the lower the better. 2. Volatile matter: Volatile matter refers to the mass loss of electrode paste under the condition o

Performance characteristics of anthracite electrode paste

 Anthracite is the main raw material of electrode paste. The performance of anthracite is related to the performance of electrode paste. Therefore, it is necessary to understand and discuss the performance of anthracite to ensure the quality of electrode paste. Anthracite coal in China is mainly distributed in Shanxi, Ningxia and Guizhou. Shanxi is the origin of anthracite, which is mainly produced in Yangquan and Jincheng. Anthracite is an indispensable raw material for carbon industry. It is mainly used in semi graphite cathode carbon block, electric furnace carbon block, blast furnace carbon block, carbon electrode and various pastes. Studying and discussing various properties of anthracite is very beneficial to improve the quality of carbon products.
