Electrically calcined (ECA), a material based on carbon, is used for smelting. It has low ash and sulfur content, high calorific value, and good mechanical strength. It is also highly conductive.
The global ECA market is growing due to rising demand for carbon products. Electric arc furnaces that use it reduce their consumption of expensive coke. Profit margins are also increased.
ECA is used as a raw materials in carbon-based products, such cathodes, graphite electrodes and refractory. Also, it is a significant source of the carbon used in aluminum. High electrical conductivity with low rate oxidation and high mechanical resistance. The metal can be produced in aluminum and other ferrous metals using electrothermal furnaces.
Calcined Anthracite's global market is booming, due to the increasing income and urbanization. Additionally, increasing investment in the infrastructure and construction sector is predicted to boost the demand for ECA.
The report includes a detailed evaluation of market trends and drivers as well as opportunities and challenges. The report also discusses key market players and the competitive landscape. The key players include Rheinbraun Brennstoff GmbH, Elkem, Asbury Carbons, Canada Carbon, Dongsheng, Ningxia Hengtai Carbons Co Ltd, Wanboda Carbons & Graphite, IVY-Carbon Products, Zhixin, and Xinhuida.
ECA can be made from high-quality, anthracite-based coal heated to above 2000degC. A process called calcination transforms conventional anthracite - a coal - into semi-graphitized anthracite with a high carbon content. The anthracite is also made more dense and conductible by calcining.
The global electrically calcined anthracite market is segmented on the basis of product, application, and geography. Steel industry is predicted to have the largest revenue share of the global calcined coal market due to the increasing demand for steel in different end-use industries.
Cathode Carbon Blocks and Additives used in Aluminum Smelting Industry are another significant segment of the Calcined Anthracite Co2 Market. These materials, which are carbon-based, have an extremely low rate oxidation as well as excellent mechanical and compression strength. These materials are also highly thermally and electrically conductive. These characteristics make them ideal for use as an aluminum smelting additive.
ECA has been used in smelting processes for various metals. The calcination removes volatile and moisture-containing matter to improve its electric conductivity and density. Additionally, its mechanical and anti-oxidation characteristics are improved. It can replace expensive refinery coal and stone grinders.
ECA is made by heating anthracite for a very long time at high temperature. The result is a product with high sulfur and carbon contents. It is ideal for manufacturing iron and steel because of its characteristics.
The global calcined anthracite market is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period, owing to rising demand for steel and metal products, and renewable energy applications. The North American market is expected to lead the growth of the calcined anthracite industry, with growing investments in construction and automotive industries.
The demand for anthracite calcined is also increasing due to the increased focus on water purification. This is especially true in emerging economies, where the cost of water is relatively high.
ECA is carbon-based and can be used in steel production. This material is used to produce carbon electrodes in the aluminium industry. Revenue growth will be driven by this expected growth in demand for the calcined market.
ECA is produced from high-grade, low-sulfur anthracite by heating it to temperatures above 2000C. It's an excellent smelting additon and is used to produce prebake electrodes, Soderberg and Ramming pastes as well as cathode and carbon blocks.
ECA, in addition to being a viable alternative to metalurgical coke when it comes time for steel or other metal products production, is also cost effective. The use of ECA as a charge material for electric arc furnaces reduces energy consumption, and increases smelting efficiency by eliminating petcoke or carbonaceous materials. Asia Pacific will see a significant growth of the anthracite calcined industry, due in part to steel and metal demand.
