The application and production of electrode paste are introduced
First, the use of electrode paste
Electrode paste is also called self baking electrode, it is depend on -arc furnace heat finish roasting, therefore, the consumption of electrode speed match the roasting speed is the key to the electrode paste use, due to the development of the technology -arc furnace, gradually to develop in the direction of large-scale, MiBiHua, electrode in the process of roasting by open type furnace to the closed furnace development in the past, The heat obtained by the electrode from the furnace is greatly reduced, which requires improving the sintering performance of electrode paste to compensate for this deficiency.
For electrode paste manufacturers, the two most taboo problems are electrode soft break and hard break, of which the soft break is more terrible, easy to cause accidents. Hard fracture is caused by insufficient strength of electrode paste sintering. Soft fracture is that the electrode sintering speed is not as fast as the consumption speed, and the electrode is not fully sintered to withstand the tensile and lateral impact of the lower electrode, resulting in fracture. These two problems are directly related to the performance of electrode paste of carbon manufacturers, and also related to the operation in the process of use.
There are only two main links in the production of electrode paste, that is, batching and mixing. Among them, mixing and kneading are basically the same with minor differences at present. As long as the mixing and kneading equipment is regular equipment (above 2000L discontinuous double-axle kneading pot), the mixing and kneading temperature and time can be well grasped in the process. And the key of ingredient is reasonable formula; The selection of raw materials, particle size ratio, especially the softening point of binder asphalt and the amount of binder.
At present, the main problem plaguing manufacturers is that the electrode paste roasting speed is too slow, so some manufacturers adopt the method of reducing the amount of asphalt used. This approach effectively to a certain extent, but the asphalt amount is too low to cause the liquidity of electrode paste, electrode paste is not easy to enrich the inside electrode tube, less dense degree of the hard broken after sintering, another method is to reduce the softening point of asphalt, improve electrode sintering velocity, but reduce bituminous softening point is not unlimited, Because the asphalt with too low softening point reduces the coking rate of asphalt, the strength of the electrode also needs to be reduced, or the phenomenon of hard breaking occurs.
Therefore, the production of electrode paste should not only properly master the above two means, but also adjust the formula to improve the sintering speed of electrode. For example, the graphite material with good conductivity and heat transfer performance should be appropriately added to the formula to increase the conduction heat obtained from the electrode in the furnace, so as to accelerate the roasting speed. At the same time, the electrode consumption can be reduced to reduce the speed of electrode lowering, and the electrode consumption and roasting can be matched.
I began to study the production technology of electrode paste from the 1980s, and carried out experiments for the production of electrode paste for the electric nickel furnace of Northwest Jinchang Company. After that, a number of large calcium carbide furnace, ferroalloy furnace developed products, to obtain certain experience. Therefore, the production of electrode paste should be suitable to the case, multi-pronged, comprehensive consideration, appropriate, complementary advantages, to produce good products, to obtain the satisfaction of users
Two, electrode paste introduction
Electrode paste is a simple and complex product in carbon production. First, electrode paste is finished product after mixing and kneading and forming. Unlike other carbon and graphite products, defects in the previous process can be made up by roasting, graphitization or even dipping process.
Second, the electrode paste directly to the user, through the user to complete the process after the process to form the electrode to play the function of carbon products, but the electrode paste users vary: furnace type is different; Different production products; Geographical differences; Different environments; Different seasons and different technical levels of operators make it difficult to adjust to different tastes, so it is very difficult for electrode paste production enterprises to adapt to such complicated conditions. Therefore, the production process of electrode paste seems relatively simple, but special experience and technology are needed to produce good ones.
