Preferred Label : petroleum coke;
IUPAC definition : A carbonization product of high-boiling hydrocarbon fractions obtained in petroleum
processing (heavy residues). It is the general term for all special petroleum coke
products such as green, calcined and needle petroleum coke.;
Scope note : high-boiling hydrocarbon fractions (heavy residues) used as feedstock for petroleum
coke are residues from distillation (atmospheric pressure, vacuum) or cracking (e.g.
thermal, catalytic, steam-based) processes. the nature of feedstock has a decisive
influence on the graphitizability of the calcined coke.;
Origin ID : P04522;
