Petroleum coke - Introduction
Petroleum coke(Petroleum coke) is a kind of solid fuel made from high-temperature carbonized petroleum raw materials. It is mainly composed of carbon (about 90-95%), with small amounts of sulfur, nitrogen and ash. Petroleum coke has the characteristics of high calorific value, low volatility and high carbon content, making it an important industrial raw material and energy source.
Petroleum coke has many uses. It is mainly used in the production of aluminum, steel, cement and other industries as a fuel or reducing agent. In the aluminum industry, Petroleum coke is used as the main raw material in electrolytic aluminum production, and the high carbon Petroleum coke can make the electrolysis process more efficient. In addition, Petroleum coke can also be used as a fuel for power plants, glass industry, etc.
The preparation of Petroleum coke usually includes two main steps: cracking of petroleum feedstock and further processing. In a cracking process, a petroleum feedstock, such as heavy oil or resid, is heated to high temperatures to produce hydrocarbon gases and liquids. The liquid is usually used as a petroleum product, while the hydrocarbon gas is further processed to obtain the Petroleum coke. Petroleum coke can be obtained by slag oil cracking or delayed coking.
Regarding the safety information of Petroleum coke, it is a combustible substance, and you need to pay attention to fire and explosion protection during storage and transportation. At the same time, because the Petroleum coke contains a small amount of sulfur, nitrogen and other impurities, its combustion will produce sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides and other harmful gases. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain good ventilation conditions when using Petroleum coke to prevent the accumulation of harmful gases. In addition, compliance with relevant regulations and standards is required for storage, handling and transportation to ensure safety.
In summary, Petroleum coke is an industrial raw material and energy source with high calorific value and high carbon content, and is widely used in aluminum, steel, cement and other industries. Its preparation method includes cracking and further processing of petroleum raw materials, and it is necessary to pay attention to fire and explosion prevention and maintain good ventilation conditions.
