 CHAPTER I

General Description Of Calcined Petroleum Coke

(CPC)
a. Raw Material
Calcined Petroleum Coke produced from raw materials Green Coke. Green
coke or also known as green petroleum coke, a material derived from residue
oil refining process.
Green Coke, produced in oil refineries. Processing of solid carbon compounds
using Delayed Cooking Unit is capable of converting heavy oil (short residue)
into green coke.
Green Coke has a heavier fraction when compared to gasoline. Due to the
lower calorific value of between 7500-8500 K.cal/ Kg, but when compared with
coal (K.cal/ 5000 to 6000 Kg), the calorific value higher green coke.

Green Petroleum Coke

Judging from grade, petcoke classified into two types, namely fuel grade coke
and anode grade coke.
Fuel-grade coke is used as fuel, while
The anode grade coke used in the aluminum smelting industry, steel and
titanium.
The main difference of fuel grade coke with anode grade coke is a metal
element content and sulfur levels. At the anode grade coke, metals and sulfur
content should be very low.
 There are several types of pet coke is needle coke, honeycomb coke, sponge
coke and shot coke. Needle coke and coke honeycomb classified in anode grade
coke, while the sponge coke and shot coke classified as fuel grade coke.
Calcination of the green will produce calcined petcoke petcoke, this calcination
process removes moisture content and volatile matter content and changing
the crystal structure of pet coke.
In general, the processing of calcined coke product can be classified into tree
factors such as the following picture:

Green Coke Calcinacing Process

b. Petroleum Coke Calcining

Petroleum Coke Calcining is a process whereby green or raw petroleum coke is

thermally upgraded to :

Remove associated moisture and volatile combustion matter

Improve critical physical properties like
Electrical conductivity
Real density
Oxidation characterictics
 CHAPTER II

Application of CPC & its Market in Industry

Market of
Calcined CFC
Petroleum Coke (CPC) is important industrial commodity linking the oil
refining, metallurgical/chemical with solid material industries and an aluminium
and titanium dioxide production.

The application for Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC) is used in this following
industries :

The Aluminium industry

More than 70 percent of all CPC used to produce anodes for the smelting of
alumina into aluminum.
Titanium Dioxide Industry
Calcined petcoke is used in the production of titanium dioxide (TiO2), a
naturally occurring mineral that is used as a pigment for plastics, paints,
sunscreen and food coloring. Two significant usefulness of titanium dioxide is
as a replacement for lead in paint and as a bleach paper.
 The Steel Industry
Calcined petcoke as recarburizer in the steel industry recarburizer used to
adjust the carbon content.

Application of CPC in Aluminium industry

The use of CPC in Aluminium industry is to produce anode for reduction process in
Aluminium process. Liquid Aluminium is produced by electrolytic reduction of
alumina (AL2O3) dissolved in an electrolyte (bath) mainly containing Cryolite
(Na3AlF6). The chemical reaction can be written as :

where Carbon ( C ) use anode Carbon made from CPC as reductor

 Aluminium Production use Anode (Carbon) from CPC

The anodes used are termed as prebaked anodes which are made from a mixture
of Calcined Petroleum Coke, aggregate and coal tar pitch binder moulded into
blocks and bake in separate anode baking furnace at about 1120 C. An Aluminium
rod with iron studs is then cast or rammed into grooves in the top of the anode
block in order to support the anode and the conduct the electric current to the
anode when it has been positioned in the cell.

Application of CPC in Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) industry

In opposition of the popular belief, the most widely used titanium product is not
the titanium metal and alloys, but rather is the titanium dioxide (TiO2) pigment
that provide whiteness and opacity to a vast range of everyday products from
coatings and plastics, to inks and even as flux in glass manufacture, filler in paper,
rubber industries, cosmetics and food. Annually more than 4.5 million t of TiO2 are
produced worldwide and only about 4%~5% is used to produced metallic titanium.
Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) pigment are produce from variety of ares by two different
process :
The Sulfate Process (about 40% use in industry)
The Chloride Process (about 60% use in industry)

At the chloride process, TiO2 produces by using Carbon as reductor, shown in this
reaction :

TiO2 is simple inorganic compound produced as a pure white powder (known as

titanium white). This pigmen can be use, in most of its application, as a pigment to
scatter light, provide whiteness & opacity product in coating, plastic and paint,
printing inks and paper, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, textile and food
industry.
Application of CPC in Steel Industry

The Calcined Petroleum Coke is widely use in Steel industry. It is use as recarburizer
in the steel industry. Recarburizer used to adjust the carbon content in the steel
making.
