Effect of calcination rate on petroleum coke properties Original Research Article

The excellent work of Bui, Perron, and Read studied several process parameters pertinent to the calcination of green petroleum coke and the subsequent effect on calcined coke properties. One parameter studied was a calcination rate that was comparatively fast. Other work has shown that the calcination rate may be more important in its effect on anisotropic, or premium, coke properties that on more isotropic coke properties than was suspected by Bui, Perron, and Read.
