Depending on its quality, petroleum coke is used in industries such as graphite making, smelting, and chemical industry. Low-sulfur, high-quality cooked coke, such as needle coke, is mainly used to manufacture ultra-high power graphite electrodes and some special carbon products; needle coke is an important material for the development of new technologies for electric steelmaking in the steelmaking industry. Medium sulfur, ordinary cooked coke, a large amount is used for aluminum smelting. High sulfur and ordinary raw coke are used in chemical production, such as calcium carbide, silicon carbide, etc., and also used as fuel for metal casting. Most of the petroleum coke produced in China is low-sulfur coke, which is mainly used for aluminum smelting and graphite manufacturing.
It is also mainly used for making carbon products, such as graphite electrodes and anode arcs, for steelmaking, non-ferrous metals, and aluminum smelting; for making silicon carbide products, such as various wheels, sand skins, and sandpaper; Production of synthetic fiber, acetylene and other products; it can also be used as fuel, but when it is used for fuel, it needs ultra-fine pulverization using a graded impact mill. It can be burned only after it is made into coke powder by JZC-1250 equipment. It is mainly some glass factories, coal water slurry plants and so on.
