The Influence of Organic and Inorganic Additives on the Specific Electrical Resistance of Coke
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of both inorganic (boron carbide nanopowders and silicon carbide (carborundum) and organic lean (petroleum coke) additives on the quality of coke produced in a laboratory furnace, as well as on its electrical properties. Analyzing the results of the quality assessment of the obtained coke, it can be argued that the addition of a fixed amount $(0.25-0.5 \ wt.\%)$ of non-caking nanoadditives allows to regulate the process in the plastic state in order to increase the coke strength.
