Development of Soderberg Carbon Electrodes Bonded with a Carbon Nanofibre Reinforced Coal-Tar Pitch
The operation of Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) relies on the use of differ-ent types of carbon electrodes. Most of them are subjected to thermal treatments before use. However, Soderberg electrodes are formed in situ. Their carbon paste is fully transformed under operation. Soder-berg paste is composed of calcined anthracite and petroleum coke, pitch being used as binder. This work evaluates the incorporation of Carbon Nanofibres (CNF) to coal-tar pitch for Soderberg paste production.
Glass Industry Refractories and their Increasing Role in Energy Conservation
Current analyst’s forecasts for global glass production in 2020 is for up to 120 Mt of end product with a value approaching USD 90 billion. These same estimates also indicate that the overall market size is once again exhibiting small growth.
