A vital element in many industrial processes, Graphite Petroleum Coke, or GPC is a carbon material produced by heating petroleum coke to extreme temperatures. It is then transformed into a crystalline carbon form with a high purity level. This makes it ideally suitable for a variety of critical applications. The material is characterized by high conductivity, low reactivity and thermal stability. It is therefore ideal for demanding industrial processes.
Graphite Petroleum Coke, a by-product of oil refining is further processed to increase the amount of carbon and purity. This transforms it into an essential component for a range of metallurgical uses, including steelmaking and battery production.

GPC is an essential component of the aluminum industry and is utilized in anodes used for electrolytic aluminum production. Its electrical conductivity and resistance to heat make it a vital component for smelting aluminum. Additionally, GPC is an important raw material to make of graphite electrodes to be used in steelmaking in the electric arc furnace.
During production, GPC is heated to high temperatures, and then subjected different processing steps to ensure it is in compliance with the exact specifications for industrial applications. This includes calcination, which eliminates impurities and improves the physical and chemical properties of the material. It is also subjected to graphitization, which aligns the carbon atoms in an ordered manner and improves its conductivity and thermal stability.
The final product is a completely pure carbon that can be used for numerous applications, including graphitized anodes for electrolytic aluminum production as well as refractory for the steelmaking industry, and as a carbon-based additive in supercapacitors and lithium batteries. It can also be used as a reducing agent in industries that manufacture special steels, change the grade, and cast steel.
In addition to its remarkable carbon content and thermal stability, Graphite Petroleum Coke has low levels of sulfur and other impurities. This makes it a perfect raw material for industries that have strict quality standards. The high purity of this material aids in reducing the cost of production since it blocks unwanted contaminants from in the final product.
