Preferred Label : fluid coke;
IUPAC definition : The carbonization product of high-boiling hydrocarbon fractions (heavy residues of
petroleum or coal processing) produced by the fluid coking process.;
Scope note : fluid coke consists of spherulitic grains with a spherical layer structure and is
generally less graphitizable than delayed coke. therefore, it is not suitable as filler
coke for polygranular graphite products and is also less suitable for polycrystalline
carbon products. because of its isotropy it is less suitable to produce an anisotropic
synthetic graphite. all cokes contain a fraction of matter that can be released as
volatiles during heat treatment. this mass fraction, the so-called volatile matter,
is in the case of fluid coke about 6 wt.%.;
