STUDIES ON THE IMPACT OF CALCINED PETROLEUM COKE FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES ON ANODE QUALITY

Calcined petroleum coke (CPC) is a major raw material for smelting anodes. The anode quality plays an important role in the smelter productivity and profitability. Since the beginning, the CPC from different Indian suppliers has been used in National Aluminium Company Ltd. This paper presents the quality of CPC from different sources and their influence on anode quality. Anode bench scale studies have also been carried out by blending CPC from different sources and assessment of anode quality.
