Abstract:
A process for the production of anode grade coke comprised of the following steps:(a) providing at least one granular green coke material to be calcined, said granular green coke material having a volatile carbonaceous materials content of greater than or equal to 16% by weight;(b) positioning said at least one green coke material in a furnace; and(c) heating said at least one green coke material in the furnace in the absence of air, under static conditions and controlled temperature and time, so as to reduce the volatile carbonaceous materials content and agglomerate of said granular green coke material to an anode grade homogeneous coke product having a Real density (kg/dm3) within an accepted range of 1.95-2.10 and a grain stability (%) (8-4 mm) of 60-95.
