Causes of electrode paste accidents in submerged arc furnaces

 Electrode accidents are common accidents in ferroalloys and calcium carbide enterprises smelted by submerged arc furnaces. The cause of electrode accidents is analyzed and judged accurately, and targeted preventive measures can be taken to reduce the occurrence of electrode accidents. However, due to the analysis of electrode accidents, it is supplied by electrode paste. The manufacturer and the electrode paste use the interference of multiple factors. To accurately determine the cause of the electrode accident requires objective evidence recognized by both parties, and the electrode section is a good objective evidence, so the analysis of the electrode section is of great significance. .

1. Electrode paste segregates, resulting in layering of aggregate and powder

1. Section status: There is obvious particle layer segregation on the section of the electrode. According to the size and cross-section of the radiant heat source for electrode baking, there are two situations, one is the accumulation of particles along the outer ring of the electrode, and the other is the accumulation of particles in the middle of the electrode.

2. Other phenomena: The flow coefficient of the electrode paste is greater than 2.0, and the elongation rate is greater than 40.

3. Analysis of the reason: the popularity of electrode paste has caused particle segregation, the local strength of some electrodes with more aggregates is low, and they are easily broken by external forces, and the parts with more powders are easily broken by the internal stress of the electrode itself. The two different accumulations of aggregates are caused by different sintering methods.

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.
