In the calcining process, the green coke feed is heated to a sufficiently high temperature to drive off any residual moisture, and to drive off and combust any residual
API, 2008; USEPA, 2011Petroleum coke consists of two substances: green. coke and calcined coke. The principal difference between the substances is the amount of …
Kinetic analysis of the green petroleum coke calcining processes using the simulation program HYSYS and actual industrial data is presented. ... the whole calcination system is determined as 0.507 ...
The thermal diffusivity of petroleum coke decreased during the calcining process. With increasing temperature, coefficient of heat conductivity and specific volume heat of the petroleum coke increased with a decreasing variation rate. The research provides a database for the calcining graphitization process of petroleum coke.
Keywords: Rotary Kiln, Calcining Processes, Rate-based HYSYS Simulation. Abstract: This paper presents the simulation of the green petroleum coke calcining processes using the simulation program ASPEN HYSYS. The results are validated using actual industrial data. The present study provides a detailed description of the rate-based simulation.
The quality of calcined petroleum coke used in primary aluminum production is affected by each of the refining and calcining processes including choice of crude, many of the initial refinery processing steps, coking, calcining as well as the handling systems between the refinery, calciner and final customer.
Water cooling of coke (breeze or 30–40 mm lumps) directly after calcining does not harm the basic properties of the coke. 3. Petroleum coke with lump size less than 40 mm should be calcined not ...

More particularly, the present invention relates to an improved feeding system for feeding green coke into a coke calcining apparatus. Processes for calcining green coke to produce calcined coke are well-known. Green coke is a carbonaceous material containing various solid hydrocarbons and is derived from various petroleum hydrocarbon fractions.
Petroleum coke calcining is thermal treatment of green petroleum coke (GPC) above 1200 C. to benefit the material by removing moisture, volatile matter and other green coke impurities, while increasing density and decreasing electrical resistivity. Calcined petroleum coke is mainly used to produce anodes used in the aluminum industry, steel ...
Coke calcination is a process that involves the heating of green petroleum coke in order to remove volatile material and purify the coke for further processing. Calcined coke is vital to the aluminum industry, where it is used to produce carbon anodes for aluminum production. Calcined coke is also widely used as

When there are changes in the green coke feed properties, such as the moisture or volatile content, it is important for the calcining furnace to be able to react quickly to maintain a consistent product quality. The shaft type furnace by its very nature of operation cannot react quickly to changes in coke feed.
In order to increase the degree of calcination of fine factions, the target temperature was increased by 40°—from 1240 to 1280 °C since the calcination temperature is very critical for forming the desired structure and physical properties of calcined petroleum coke.
