Influence of processed carbon black in the filler composition on the characteristics of baked carbon mixes

Several carbon products such as carbon brushes, special nuclear carbons, seal rings, etc. require carbon black in the filler composition. In the present study, the raw carbon black was mixed with a coal tar pitch and the resulting carbon mix was shaped, calcined and finally crushed into a fine powder for its subsequent use. The influence of this modified (processed) carbon black in the filler composition on the characteristics of the final calcined petroleum coke, processed carbon black and coal tar pitch-based carbon mixes has been investigated.
