Obtaining Binder for Electrode Paste from Mechanically Activated Coal

It is suggested that the pitch, obtained in the course of coal thermal processing, should be used as binder for manufacturing calcined anodes in aluminum industry. The investigations were carried out to determine the effect of brown and black coal mechanical processing on the degree of its organic matter conversion under thermal autoclave curing in solvent medium. It was established that under temperature of 380°С and pressure of less than 2.0...
