Steel industry uses graphite petroleum for the production of electrodes and other industrial accessories. These products are made with a great deal of effort, and graphite petroleum is the only thing that can make it possible. Graphite Petroleum COKE is used not just in the steel sector, but in other sectors as well such as carbon fibers and lithium-ion cells. The demand for lithium ion batteries and for carbon fibers is driving the exponential growth of graphite petrol coke. To meet this growing demand, the petroleum industry needs to find sustainable ways to produce this raw material.
Currently, electrodes are made from petroleum coke for the steel and aluminium industries. This process is energy intensive and emits harmful carbon emissions. It has prompted the search for low-emission end-uses. One option is to repurpose this carbon-rich product to generate graphene. Graphene is a versatile sheet material composed of just one layer of carbon. Although petroleum coke comes from fossil fuels, it is abundant and affordable, making it the perfect feedstock to use for this alternative manufacturing method.
There are different grades and types of petroleum coke. Each has its own microscopic structure as well as macroscopic characteristics. Fuel coke - the lowest-grade vacuum residue - is produced by coking low grade aromatic feedstocks like Fluid Catalytic Cracker Decant Oil. It is used as an adsorbent for heavy metals and sulfur in the power generation and cement kiln industries. Anode coke is made of vacuum residues with a spongey or honeycomb like morphology. This is used as a carbon anode in the aluminum industry. The needle coke is the highest-grade premium-grade coke. It contains long, needlelike particle and has a very low coefficient of thermal contraction. It is used to conduct electricity in electric arc ovens.
The chemistry in these cokes is different and can be affected by impurities, contaminants, or other contaminants. These differences have prompted an increase in recent research on the use petroleum coke as a starter material for CNMs like oxidized graphene (GO) or reduced graphene(RGO).
Graphene can come from a number of sources. These include carbonaceous wastes from coal-fired plants, biomass and petroleum coke. Developing a cost effective and environmentally safe process to produce high-quality, graphene out of crude oil or petroleum coke is a major challenge.
Physical inspections, chemical analysis and other methods are important for assessing the quality of calcined oil coke. These tests will ensure that CPPC meets the industry's criteria and is competitive. Proper storage of CPPC is also important to prevent moisture or pollutants from damaging the material during transportation or shipment. Proper storage guarantees that CPPC retains its quality and performance in industrial applications.
