Introduction to sintering of electrode paste

 　　Continuous automatic baking electrode is composed of electrode paste and iron shell. The electrode is consumed continuously when working in the carbide furnace, so it needs to be continuously discharged to supplement. When the electrode is lowered to the lower part of the conductive jaw plate, it is calcined at about 1000 ℃ to carbonize the electrode paste. Because the electrode iron shell can continue to be welded without power failure in the electric furnace, the electrode paste is continuously added to the iron shell, and it is sintered in the carbide furnace, so it is called continuous automatic baking electrode.

　　Self burning electrodes are widely used in carbide furnaces and ferroalloy furnaces. The characteristic of this electrode is that the diameter can be expanded to 2 meters. It is very convenient and inexpensive to connect on the carbide furnace without screw joints. This creates favorable conditions for the development of calcium carbide furnace to large capacity.

Introduction to sintering of electrode paste

　　In the whole equipment of calcium carbide furnace, the electrode is the heart. In the production of calcium carbide, the current is input into the furnace through the electrode to generate an arc to smelt calcium carbide. Electrode plays an important role in the whole electric furnace.

　　In the design of carbide furnace, many parameters are based on the electrode diameter. The size of the electrode diameter is determined by the current density allowed by the current passing through the cross-sectional area of the electrode. If the diameter is small, the allowable current density is large; If the diameter is large, the allowable current density is small. Whether the current density and electrode diameter are properly selected is very important for the whole electric furnace.

　　The determination of electrode diameter has great guiding significance for the design of considering the diameter of electrode concentric circle, electrode spacing, furnace inner diameter, furnace depth, even furnace outer diameter, furnace bottom thickness, etc. Because the data of these dimensions refer to the empirical data in multiple relationship with the electrode.

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.
