The suppliers of carbon additives that are made from calcined anthracite enhance various materials in different industries. This product is lower in moisture, volatiles, and ash than most coals. It is used in the production of ramming paste, electrode paste, cathode blocks, and other carbon-based products. This fuel can also be used for electric arc and oxygen basic furnaces as well as steel furnaces. A growing demand for steel in the manufacture of automobiles as well as aircraft and other appliances drives global demand for calcined ahnthracite.
The shift in energy usage towards renewable sources and electric vehicles is likely to result in a greater use of anthracite for the battery casings. Further growth will come from this. The burgeoning steel and iron industries in emerging economies are expected to fuel the growth of this market.
The anthracite material is heated to over 2000C using either an electric or gas-fired furnace. This reduces the moisture content and volatile matter down to under 2%. The resulting product is called calcined anthracite, which has excellent grain stability and good physical properties like graphite. Anthracite calcined is non-toxic and odorless. It is therefore more attractive as a fuel for industrial use.
It is estimated that by 2028 the value of global calcined athracite markets will be US$3.5. As anthracite forms the basis of many steel and ferrous products, it is predicted that these industries will hold the majority share. Demand for calcined athracite will also be driven by the growing investments in construction and infrastructure in India.
The use of petcoke in the manufacture of calcined athanacite could be an obstacle to this market. Because petcoke causes severe pollution, India's government has prohibited its sale within the Delhi capital city as well in neighboring state.
Russia currently is a major producer and exporter of anthracite in the world. It has large deposits of anthracite that are extracted using open pit mining techniques. The process of mining is extremely labor-intensive, and it requires large machines. However, by investing in technological advancements and increasing its production capabilities over the years, the country was able to increase production.
There are many companies that operate on the global market for calcined ore. As a way to maintain a strong competitive position, many companies have opted to create alliances or partnerships with other businesses to enhance their global presence. Moreover, these companies look at investing into new projects in order to enhance their capabilities. It will allow them to retain their leading position on the global market for calcined alumina. This report contains a detailed overview of the market and company profiles on the top players within the global calcined achromate industry. The company profiles include a detailed business description, financial analysis, SWOT analysis, and strategy of these players.
