How to use cold ramming paste correctly

 　Like cathode carbon block, the aggregate of cathode paste mainly uses high-quality electric calcined anthracite as raw material. At present, it mainly uses anthracite of high quality in Taixi Town, Ruqigou, Shizuishan City, Ningxia, which is called Taixi Coal. Taixi Coal has the characteristics of “three bottoms and six highs” (bottom ash, bottom sulfur, bottom phosphorus, high calorific value, high specific resistance, high lump coal rate, high chemical activity, high clean coal recovery rate, and high mechanical strength), which is the highest quality coal in China. There are also those who use high-quality electric calcined (generally not using gas calcined) anthracite from other regions as aggregate, but Taixi Coal is the first to be used as aggregate.

　　In Table 1, the paste is divided into two categories: semi graphite and high graphite according to the different graphite content (in some data reports, the high graphite cold rammed paste is made of 25% graphite). In actual production and use, it is necessary for steel bar paste and carbon paste to contain graphite, but it is not necessary for the surrounding paste to contain graphite. The paste around the international standard cold rammed paste is not mixed with graphite material.

How to use cold ramming paste correctly

　　In addition to using different raw materials for different pastes, the most important thing is to use different binders. Generally, coal tar pitch is used as the binder for hot ramming paste, which can meet the requirements of electrolytic cell as long as it is correctly operated according to the regulations during construction. The cold ramming paste uses specially refined high-quality coal tar as the binder, but the binder used by most domestic enterprises to manufacture the cold ramming paste is to add anthracene oil or coal tar into the coal tar, and adjust the softening point of the coal tar to the temperature required by the cold ramming paste or warm ramming paste respectively. This method of preparing binder is because these manufacturers do not master the technology of Cold ramming binder. Because the softening point of coal tar pitch can be reduced by adding anthracene oil or coal tar, not only the environmental protection index can not meet the requirements, but also the shrinkage of the paste increases due to the evaporation of anthracene oil and coal tar during baking, which increases the risk of aluminum leakage in the electrolytic cell. The author believes that the paste of the electrolytic cell is either hot rammed paste or cold rammed paste produced by using a binder not mixed with anthracene oil and coal tar. The so-called “warm mashing” is also undesirable.

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.
