Description
Graphitized coke is a material obtained by graphitizing petroleum coke at high temperatures; this dataset includes major raw materials, energy inputs, atmospheric emissions, and waste from the production process, but 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 from multiple sources; the manufacturing process of graphite electrodes consists of several steps including mixing and forming, baking, impregnation, re-baking, graphitization, and machining, and graphitized coke is a by-product of this process.
Activity Description
The production activities of this product include processes such as mixing and forming, firing, impregnation, re-firing, graphitization, and machining, with graphitized coke being a by-product of this process.
Process Description
Graphitized coke is a material obtained by graphitizing petroleum coke at high temperatures, characterized by high carbon content, low sulfur, and low nitrogen. The molecular formula of graphitized coke can be expressed as CxHy, where x and y vary depending on the specific chemical structure. However, during the graphitization process, the hydrogen content typically decreases, and the carbon structure becomes more ordered, approaching the layered structure of graphite.
