Effect of Vanadium on the Petroleum Coke Ash Fusibility

Ash fusibility is closely related to ash slagging, which has significant impact on the clean and efficient utilization of petroleum coke (petcoke). Some mineral elements in petcoke, especially vanadium (V), are considered to be responsible for ash-related slagging during thermal conversion of petcoke. This study investigates the effect of vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) on synthetic petcoke ash fusibility from different perspectives, including V2O5...
