Abstract
Optimizing the composition of the calcined coke aggregate blend used in anode manufacture is important from several aspects, including production of high density anodes, reducing binder pitch requirement, and/or minimizing problems such as cracking or dusting. Plots of aggregate density as a function of composition have been experimentally determined for a number of carbon plants using the Y-blender method. Important experimental considerations will be discussed and representative results given.
