[0065] Example 1 Derivation of Paste Prediction Model and Paste Analysis System

[0066] The paste analysis system is configured to analyze the paste utilized to make the prebaked anode. Photographed with a Sony digital video camera (Sony Corporation, 7-35 Kitashinagawa 6-chome, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, 141-0001 Japan), from COMPUTAR (CBC America Corp., 55 Mall Drive, Commack, New York 11725) Lenses and strobes from Advanced Illumination, Inc. (24 Peavine Drive, Rochester VT 05767). Imaging software from MediaCybernetics, Inc. (4340 East-West Hwy, Suite 400, Bethesda, Maryland, USA) and Matrox Electronic Systems Ltd. (1055 St. Regis Blvd., Dorval, Quebec H9P 2T4, Canada) was utilized. The camera lens is approximately 15 inches above the sample anode paste. The flashes were approximately 20 inches above the sample anode paste and approximately 15 inches apart. The flash is angled toward the center of the field of view at roughly a 70-degree angle below the horizon. The field of...

Abstract

Systems and methods for producing a carbonaceous paste are provided. The systems and methods may include a paste control system (1) that obtains an image of the carbonaceous paste (32) and determines whether operational parameters associated with paste production require adjustment (310). One or more operational variables may be adjusted based on the obtained images to facilitate production of the carbonaceous paste, which may be used to form a carbon-based electrode.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] The patent application claims the title "SYSTEMSAND METHODS FOR PRODUCTING CARBONACEOUS PASTESUSED IN THE PRODUCTION OF CARBON ELECTRODES" filed on March 16, 2007. Priority of Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 895,396. technical field [0003] The present invention provides systems and methods for producing carbon pastes for use in the production of carbon-based electrodes. In one aspect, an image of the paste is obtained and data associated therewith is analyzed to evaluate the paste. Background technique [0004] Carbon-based electrodes are often produced by mixing coke with pitch to form a paste. This paste is then shaped and baked to produce carbon electrodes. Electrode properties change with coke to pitch ratio. As coke quality can vary greatly, it is difficult to assess the amount of pitch that should be used for a given amount of coke. One traditional technique for producing pastes is to measure the cok...
