What is petroleum coke?

Petroleum coke is a hard solid petroleum product in black or dark gray, and is characterized by metallic luster and porosity. It is carbon-shaped stuff composed of tiny graphite crystals formed into granules, columns or needles. The composition of petroleum coke is hydrocarbons, containing 90-97% carbon, 1.5-8% hydrogen, and elements such as nitrogen, chlorine, and sulfur.

Petroleum coke is the carbonized product of heavy residue produced by crude oil processing (atmospheric and vacuum distillation, catalytic cracking, etc.). The main production techniques include delayed coking and fluidized coking.

Industrial Standards for Petroleum Coke (Green Coke)

• NB/SH/T 0527-2019 Petroleum Coke (Green Coke)

Generally speaking, petroleum coke refers specifically to sponge coke.

Currently, China manufacturers mainly produce it in accordance with the industry standards NB/SH/T 0527-2019, this standard apply to both international import/export and China petroleum coke, which are used as common-power graphite electrodes, carbon raw materials and fuels for aluminum, etc.

• GB/T 37308-2019 Oil-based Needle Coke
• T/ZGTS 002-2019 Oil-based Needle Coke for Graphite Electrodes

Needle-shaped coke meets the requirements of the standards of GB/T 37308-2019 for “Oil-based Needle Coke” and T/ZGTS 002-2019 for “Oil-based Needle Coke for Graphite Electrodes”.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Petroleum coke products can be divided into needle coke, sponge coke, shot coke and powder coke based on its structure and appearance. Generally speaking, petroleum coke refers specifically to sponge coke.

Sponge coke is mainly used to produce pre-baked anode and anode coal paste for electrolytic aluminum, carbon addictive used in carbon industry, graphite electrode, silicon used in smelting industry, fuel, etc. When pre-baked anodes are used for aluminum smelting and graphite electrodes are used for steelmaking, the raw coke must be calcined in order for petroleum coke (green coke) to meet the requirements. The calcination temperature is generally about 1300 ℃ in order to remove the volatile components of petroleum coke and improve the physical and chemical properties such as strength and conductivity. Green coke can be directly used to produce silicon carbide, silicon metal and other materials without calcination.
