Description
Carbon raisers can be used in the casting process to replenish carbon content lost during iron and steel melting. The dataset includes major primary and auxiliary materials and energy used in the production process; however, infrastructure such as production equipment and factory construction is not included within the system boundary of the dataset. The life cycle inventory is compiled from data sourced from multiple references. The manufacturing process of carbon raisers includes batching, calcination, screening, packaging, and quality testing.
Activity Description
The production activities of this product include material preparation, calcination, screening, packaging, and inspection.
Process Description
Carbon enhancer is made from powdered high-quality calcined petroleum coke, with asphalt added as a binder, along with small amounts of other auxiliary materials. It features high fixed carbon content, low sulfur and phosphorus content, stable carbon-increasing effect, and low smoke emission during use. This product can be used in the casting process to compensate for carbon loss during iron and steel melting.
