Specifications: Muffle Furnace
□ BACKROUND – Calcined coke is a carbonaceous solid with high electrical conductivity and mechanical strength. Coal tar pitch is a carbonaceous solid material (>90 wt% carbon) that softens when heated above a particular temperature (termed the softening point). The aluminum manufacturing industry uses coal tar pitch, combined with calcined petroleum coke, to form anodes used for the production of aluminum metal. Optimal production of these anodes is critical for anode longevity, and high temperature heating control is critical to optimize anode properties. Our lab produces biorenewable versions of various petrochemicals, and carbonaceous solids fall under this category. The purpose of this purchase is to obtain equipment for heating and synthesizing calcined coke and coal tar pitch, which falls under our research objectives.
