Laboratory-scale carbon anodes were produced by a new method of high temperature mould pressing, and their physico-chemical properties were studied. The influence of mould pressing conditions and coal pitch addition on the bulk density, crushing strength, and oxidation resistance was analyzed. The mierostructure of carbon anodes was investigated by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, and the mechanism of producing carbon anodes by high-temperature mould pressing was analyzed. The results show that when the anodes are produced by high-temperature mould pressing, coal pitch can expand into the coke particles and fill the pores inside the particles, which is beneficial for improving the quality of prebaked anodes. The bulk density of carbon anodes is 1.64-1.66 g/cm3, which is 0.08-0.12 g/cm3 higher than that of industrial anodes, and the oxidation resistance of carbon anodes is also significantly improved.
This paper investigates the changes of phase and apparent morphology under the combined effects of an intense magnetic field and temperature field.The effect of different roasting conditions on the digestion performance of roasted ore is also studied.The results indicate that roasting pretreatment under high magnetic fields can change the microstructure and digestion performance of bauxite.The Al phase changed faster of high iron bauxite than that of low iron bauxite.The digestion performance of low iron bauxite improved significantly through roasting pretreatment in intense magnetic field. But the digestion performance of bauxite get worse with the iron content in bauxite increase,because the high iron content of bauxite lead the shielding effect of magnetic field and make the crystal structure of bauxite stably,the surface area or low iron bauxite increased obviously during pretreatment.The optimal pretreatment condition of low iron bauxite is roasting temperature of 550℃,roasting time of 60min and magnetic field intensity of 6T,while for the high iron is roasting temperature of 500℃,roasting time of 60min and magnetic field intensity of 9T.
