Over the next few years, it is anticipated that demand for Electrically Calcined Anthracite will grow at an accelerated pace. Global urbanization and rising disposable incomes are to blame for the rapid growth of the market. Moreover, the increased consumption and production of aluminum also drives demand for ECA.
Global Electricly calcined Anthracite Market (ECA) is Segmented by Product Type, Application and Geography. On the basis of product, there are two main categories: Gas Calcined Anthracite(GCA)and Electrically Calcined Anthracite. Electrically calcined, anthracite holds the majority of the market share. Also, electricity is used to accelerate the calcination of anthracite and this results in a higher efficiency when compared to gas.
The electrically-calcined anthracite has superior chemical and physical characteristics than GCA. For example, it contains less moisture, more sulfur, and contains less ash. In the steel industry these properties help to reduce emissions, and they improve the performance. Moreover, the material is resistant to corrosion and therefore ideal for automotive, electronics, and other industries.
ECA is used as a raw material in various applications including carbonaceous electrodes for aluminium smelting and basic and electric steelmaking. The stable carbon is low in cost and is ideal for the production of high-purity steels due to its consistency and reduced impurities. ECA is also known as abrasive anthracite or hard briquette coke, and it is an excellent substitute for coal in a wide range of industries.
Anthracite anthracite, also known as electrically caustic anthracite, is growing fast due to varying factors. This includes the increasing production of aluminium steel in various parts of the world and the growth in disposable income. The Asia Pacific Region is predicted to be the fastest growing region and have the largest CAGR in the forecast period. The increasing industrialization of the Asia Pacific region is a major factor.
On the basis of application, this market is divided into Steel Industry Products (carbon products), and Others. Due to ECA being used as an additive in aluminium pot smelters, the steel industry dominates the market. It is due to the properties of electrically causined anthracite which include low rate of corrosion, high mechanical resistance and excellent electrical conductivity.
To obtain expanded vinyl aromatics foam, it is necessary to disperse the anthracite particles. Consequently, the preferred method of silanization is a continuous or batch heated mixer in which a 30% solution of an agent in solvent, such as toluene, is sprayed on the anthracite powder. A chemical reaction is created with the anthracite, which results in significant amounts of liquid being removed. Alternatively, the anthracite can be compounded and dosed directly into a side extruder. Although this method requires special equipment, the area must be explosion proof.
