Energy Saving Technologies for Anode Manufacturing

The energy saving technologies for anode manufacturing have been developed and applied in the anode production processes in Jinan Aohai Carbon Products Corporation Ltd. The surplus heat from shaft calciners is recovered for heating pitch and mixer and power generation as well. The baking furnace structure and the lining materials have been improved so as to get reasonable anode occupation efficiency and less heat loss. The heating curves for anode baking are finely adjusted and controlled for completely burning of the volatiles in the green anodes for less energy input into the baking furnace. Based on the technology application mentioned above a great energy saving and benefit to the plant environment have been achieved in Aohai anode plants.
