Production formula of electrode paste

 The production formula of electrode paste should not be changed easily, and the formula should be changed for many times. Small calcium carbide furnace or ferroalloy furnace can all use metallurgical coke or asphalt coke plus a small amount of natural graphite electrode paste, but the consumption is larger. For large or medium calcium carbide furnaces and ferroalloy furnaces, anthracite and metallurgical coke should be used to prepare their electrode paste. Adding a small amount of natural graphite or graphitized metallurgical coke to the electrode paste formula is conducive to improving the conductivity and thermal conductivity of the electrode paste. However, the preparation of earthy graphite for small and medium-sized factories should be strictly controlled.

It should be noted that too much asphalt will make the sintering speed of the electric paste unable to keep up with the consumption, which is easy to cause soft fracture. The electrode paste with too much binder has high porosity and low strength after sintering, and hard fracture occurs under specific conditions. When the amount of binder is too small, the electrode paste will be sintered too fast, and the bonding force between particles will be poor and the strength will be low after sintering, which will also easily lead to hard fracture. Compared with the two, the adverse consequences caused by soft fracture are more serious than hard fracture. In production, if the asphalt quality is not detected, the production quality fluctuates greatly, and users dare not easily use this electrode paste.

The kneading temperature should be stable, and the dry mixing and wet mixing time should be sufficient, so that the binder can fully penetrate into the pores of carbon raw material particles, and form a "bonding film" evenly on the surface of the particles. In addition, the high kneading temperature results in poor particle structure of the paste.

The ash content of electrode paste should be strictly controlled from the batching calculation. Due to poor calcination quality in some factories, the quality of electrode paste becomes poor. Because the increase in the ash content of the electric paste will cause an increase in consumption.

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.
