Calcined Petcoke Market Analysis

Grade (Anode, Needle)

The anode segment in the calcined petcoke market is estimated to gain a robust revenue share of 55% in the coming years. Anode-grade pet coke also known as raw pet coke (RPC) or green pet coke (GPC) is low in metals and sulfur and needs to be calcined before being baked into anodes.

For instance, Anode-grade petcoke is usually a green, calcinable petcoke with over 2% sulfur, little ash, and very little metal content. Calcined petcoke (CPC) is created by heating anode-grade petcoke below its melting point to remove moisture and volatile materials therefore it has low metal concentration and is a product of low quality that contains a lot of carbon.

Moreover, the majority of anode-grade petroleum coke has relatively few contaminants, as a result of which it burns cleaner than other fuels and has good abrasion resistance. Collectively, the market is predicted to have growth at a rapid pace in this segment.

End-User (Carburizing & Recarburizing, Electric Arc & Induction Furnaces)

The electric arc & induction furnaces segment in the calcined petcoke market is set to garner a notable share shortly. Calcined petroleum coke is a high-purity solid carbonaceous material that is used to make electrodes utilized in the construction of electric and induction furnaces. For instance, the calcined pet coke used to make graphite electrodes is made in a forging smelting furnace at a temperature of over 1400°C, with a carbon content of roughly 98%.

Moreover, an electrode is an apparatus to carry electricity into an electric arc furnace and is primarily used for the steel production process. Additionally, electric arc furnaces are primarily used to melt or extract ferrous or non-ferrous metals and can also be used to smelt steels, such as special tool steel, aviation steel, stainless steel, and others, as they require tight chemical composition and good mechanical performance.
