Explanation of Cold ramming concept

 A cathode paste that can be built at room temperature. The aggregate of this cathode paste is the same as that of ordinary cathode paste (also known as hot ramming paste), such as common calcined anthracite or electric calcined anthracite, metallurgical coke, graphite chips, etc. The low softening point of the binder is 20 ℃± 5 ℃.

　　Cold rammed paste has low softening point and high volatile content. It should be packed in woven bags and plastic bags with a shelf life of 6 ~ 9 months. The construction temperature of Cold ramming paste is 25 ~ 50 ℃, and it can be constructed under the ambient temperature in summer: stewing paste can be used to make up for the impact of low ambient temperature in spring and autumn. The stewing temperature is 40 ~ 50 ℃. Furnace building in northern winter will affect the masonry quality and the service life of the trough.

Explanation of Cold ramming concept

　　Before the 1970s, the hot ramming paste or aluminum electrolytic cell used in China’s aluminum industry borrowed the coarse seam paste, fine seam paste used in iron making blast furnace or the paste using petroleum coke as aggregate. With medium temperature coal tar pitch as binder, the construction temperature is high, the environmental conditions are poor, the labor intensity is high, and the construction quality is difficult to guarantee. In the 1970s, carbon materials with softening temperature lower than 80 ℃ called cold binding paste were developed for iron smelting blast furnaces and aluminum reduction cells. With the expansion of aluminum reduction cells and the renewal of cathode carbon blocks, people began to pay attention to the matching use of cathode paste and cathode carbon blocks. Petroleum coke has been eliminated as the main raw material for the production of cold rammed paste. Ordinary calcined anthracite and high-temperature electric calcined anthracite are widely used, and a small amount of graphite is added. Cold ramming paste has become a special material for aluminum reduction cells, which is popularized throughout the country and promoted to large cells. The following table shows the quality of cold rammed paste. In order to match with the titanium boride composite cathode block, titanium boride composite cold ramming paste was developed. The commonly used formula of Cold ramming paste is as follows: (1) binder. Accounting for 15% – 16% of the total paste. Softening point 20 ℃± 5 ℃. Its composition is: ① medium temperature coal tar pitch 70% ± 2% anthracene oil 30% ± 2%; ② Medium temperature coal tar pitch 40% ± 2% + coal tar 50% ± 2%.

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.
