Graphite Petroleum Coke export is one of the most lucrative markets in the world. Volza's Big Data Technology scans more than 2 billion import shipment records in order to identify new buyers and suppliers, emerging markets as well as profitable import opportunities.
During the period Mar 2023 to Feb 2024, 235 shipments of Graphite Petroleum Coke were shipped from 89 Global exporters to 74 Global buyers. The average price of each shipment was USD 58.
The morphology of petroleum coke can vary from fine powders and flakey grains to irregular needles and grains depending on the type and degree of graphitization. Graphite Petroleum Coke varies based on its morphology. It has different chemical and physical properties including mechanical strength.
It is produced by heating petroleum bitumen, which is a thick, tarlike byproduct of crude-oil refining. This product can then be further processed to produce asphalt, roofing materials (such as tar), lubricants paints and plastics. Graphite Petroleum coke is used as an alternative fuel in industrial furnaces, and to produce electricity.
Graphite Petroleum Coke is available in different forms. Needle coke is the form that's most commonly exported. Needle Coke is characterized by its needle structure and fiber texture. It is used to produce high-power electrodes for electric furnaces (EAFs), which are used in steelmaking. It is costlier than other types due to the high levels of purity. Its pricing is affected by changes in the global steel market and technological advancements of EV batteries that require a lot of Graphite Petroleum Coke.
The graphitized petroleum coke, a black product of the petroleum refinement process, can be used to make a variety of products. It can be used as a reducing and lubricating agent in the metalworking industry, in precision casting and in the steelmaking industry. It can increase the content of spheroidal Graphite in cast Iron and improve the quality of grey-iron by promoting the nucleation carbon in liquid iron.
Graphitized Petroleum Coke can be used as a raw material to produce synthetic graphite. Synthetic graphite is used for a variety of applications including metallurgy. manufacturing and electronics. This product can be produced by putting petroleum coke through a wash and pre-treatment procedure, where it's washed with Dichloromethane and Deionized Water. The material will then be pre-treated in 6 M nitric, and dried. This increases the crystalline graphite in the material and improves its physical properties. The nitric acids are also used to avoid the formation of impurities like sulfur and volatile matter that can affect the quality of graphite. It is then cooled to a size appropriate for further processing. It is then mixed with a molten aluminium and melted into a block to form the final graphite product. Graphitized petrol coke is easy-to-work with and has excellent heat stability.
