Description

[0002] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the invention, and should not necessarily be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art.

[0003] Petroleum coke is a byproduct of crude oil refining. It is a product formed by separating light oil and heavy oil from crude oil through distillation and converting the heavy oil through thermal cracking. The main elements are carbon, which accounts for more than 80%, hydrogen 1.5%-8%, and the rest are oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and metal elements. Depending on its sulfur content, it can be used as fuel for thermal power plants and cement plants, and can also be used for carbon materials such as pre-baked anodes and graphite electrodes for aluminum and steelmaking.

[0004] The general process of the pre-baked anode industry is as follows: petroleum coke is calcined in a calcining furnace (tank or rotary) to prepare calcined coke, and the calcined coke and coal tar pitch are formed and then put into a ring roasting furnace for roasting to obtain the finished product. For a tank calcining furnace, the heat comes from the volatile matter released by the pyrolysis of petroleum coke during the calcination process. The combustion of this volatile matter produces high-temperature flue gas to power the tank calcining furnace and recover waste heat to generate electricity or steam; the ring roasting furnace uses natural gas and the volatile matter released during its own roasting as the heat source, and consumes 45 to 65 Nm of natural gas per ton of product. 3 At present, the entire prebaked anode production system generally has problems such as low degree of intensiveness and unreasonable energy use, and the economic output needs to be improved.
