Abstract

The quality of carbon electrode-anode depends on characteristics of coke filler, coal tar pitch binder and anode scrap, which are the components of green anode mixture. Petroleum coke is a dominant component of anode, which finds application in the aluminium production. The interdependence of physical-chemical properties of the petroleum coke, coal tar pitch binder and anode scrap and their influence on the stability of anode are shown. The presence of insoluble substances in coal tar pitch exerts a strong influence upon the microstructure and other properties of carbon anode. The connection of the properties and microstructure of anode components and anode quality is discussed.

Keywords
