Electrically Calcined Anthracite

Electrically calcined anthradite (ECA) is one of the most common types of anthracite. Despite its name, it is much more than just a building material. Its applications include everything from electrical conductivity to graphitisation. For further information, read on for a quick primer on this mineral. Also read on for more information on Carbon content, electrical conductivity, and Graphitisation.

Applications

The market for electrically calcined anthrocite is expected to grow in the forecast era, due to the high thermal properties of the material. Currently, the most common application for calcined anthracite is in the iron and steel manufacturing industries. But there are numerous other applications for calcined anthracite. Let's examine some of these applications.

Carbon content

Electrically calcined anthrasite is a high carbon material, which has excellent properties of thermal conductivity and smelting filler for the aluminum industry. Its low sulfur and ash content make it a desirable carbon source for steel mills and other metal industries. Its high density makes it a preferred material for steel and cast iron production. It is also used as a recarburizer in the aluminum industry.

Electrical conductivity

Calibrated anthracite (ECA) is a neutral, non-reactive form of coal. This coal is an excellent electrical conductor because of its high porosity and strong structural strength. In addition, electrically calcined anthracite emits less sulfur than other coals. It is a great choice for industrial uses because it has many advantageous characteristics.

Graphitisation

Electrically calcined anthranite has better long-term stability and a slightly higher electrical resistance than CA. The main advantages of calcination are the time and temperature, which are optimal for electrode production. The electrical furnace operated at 1,500 to 1,650 degC has the best electrode properties. The process also increases productivity by over twenty-six percent.

Application in pot smelter

Electrically calcined anthranite (ECA) is a carbon-based material with a wide range of applications in metallurgy. It is widely used as an electrode in aluminium smelters and other processes involving ferrous metals. Its thermal conductivity and high strength make it suitable for side walls in aluminum smelters. This material is also known as DSD127, a super-duty fireclay brick manufactured by dry press technology. DSD127 has a low iron content and is corrosion-resistant.
