Anthracite as a fixed carbon raw material for electrode paste

 Anthracite is the main part of the electrode paste. When the electrode is fired, it becomes the skeleton of the electrode, which is very similar to the role played by the pebbles in reinforced concrete.

The use of anthracite is not only because of its low price, but more importantly, it can improve the quality of electrode paste. Anthracite is a dense, black grease mineral with metallic luster. The difference between anthracite and other mineral coals is: high carbon content, high mechanical strength, and low volatile content. Anthracite contains a small amount of water, which is evenly distributed in the carbon, and its ash is basically in thin layers or spots. Minerals.

The ash content of anthracite used in the manufacture of electrode paste is generally not higher than 10%. Therefore, after entering the factory, it is sorted and its ash content is generally fixed below 8%. When the coal is in the form of flakes and long blocks, it is heated and calcined , Easily burst into pieces due to heat.

During calcination, the shrinkage of anthracite coal has a linear relationship with the amount of volatility. Therefore, the anthracite used in the manufacture of electrode paste contains less volatile matter (preferably less than 7%).

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.
