Yangzi Petrochemical has successfully produced anode coke for the first time through a new round of technical efforts

Thread Content

Recently, 1,900 tons of anode coke produced by Unit 2 of the coking plant at Yangzi Petrochemical passed the pilot tests conducted by downstream customers, with all parameters meeting the quality standards; this marks Yangzi Petrochemical’s official capability to produce anode coke.   Driven by the development of the new energy vehicle industry, the demand for anode coke has increased significantly. To stay closely aligned with market trends and maximize efficiency, Yangzi Petrochemical took proactive steps by sending technical personnel to sister companies to exchange knowledge on anode coke production technology, and reached out to experts from the Petroleum Science Research Institute to refine the pilot production plan.   Since the quality of negative electrode paste is greatly influenced by the properties of crude oil, to ensure that the product quality remains satisfactory during the trial production phase, the company adheres strictly to the established formulation in its manufacturing processes and conducts timely sampling and analysis of the crude oil. Unit 2 for coking has carefully adjusted its key operational parameters, strengthened the inspection and maintenance of its core equipment, and maintained strict control over product quality throughout the entire process, thereby ensuring a stable and controllable production process.   At present, Yangzi Petrochemical is conducting a systematic review of the production process for anode coke as well as the quality control of raw materials, and is launching a new round of technical efforts to further improve the output and quality of anode coke.
