Anthracite Low Volatile Matter Electrically Calcined is a type refractory made by heating anthracite at a high heat with electricity. It improves anthracite's density and electric conductivity as well as its mechanical strength. It can also be used in the manufacture of carbon electrodes, and is an alternative to coke. Also, it is used as a fuel in industrial furnaces. Low ash, low sulphur content and stable chemical properties make it a good fuel for industrial furnaces. The anthracite is more electrically conductive than the normal type and less volatile. This makes it ideal for electric arcs furnaces.
It is used primarily by the steel sector. In the electric and basic steelmaking processes, it is substituted with metallurgical coal to raise the carbon content in steel and regulate the ratio of carbon to iron. Infrastructure development, urbanization and automobile manufacturing are driving the global steel industry. Anthracite is in high demand.
The companies invest in R&D to enhance the anthracite quality and create novel products more efficient than existing technologies. In addition, they are focusing their efforts on expanding the market through partnerships, strategic alliances and mergers. They will be able to increase their profitability and market share by using these strategies.
Electrically calcined anthracite is available in different forms, including powder and block form. Powder form had the biggest share in the anthracite calcined market by 2020. Powder form is light and easily pulverized into fine particles. It is widely used in refractory applications such as electrode paste, ramming, cathode blocks, and carbon electrodes. Calcined anthracite is used in this form because it has a low sulfur content, and little ash.
Moreover, the calcined anthracite powder is suitable for a variety of uses in the oil and gas industry. It is a valuable raw material for the production of carbon black and can be used in petroleum refining, glassmaking, and many other applications. In some cases, it is used to replace petroleum coke.
