Abstract

Baked carbon articles are formed by passing preformed green articles containing crushed carbon and a carbonisable binder in succession through a tunnel kiln comprising successive preheating, baking, soaking, and cooling zones. The preheating zone may have a rate of temperature rise of 2-40 DEG C./hr. and a maximum temperature of 400-600 DEG C. The baking zone may have a rate of temperature rise of 4-50 DEG C./hr. and a maximum temperature of 800-1300 DEG C. The cooling zone may <PICT:0870730/III/1> have a rate of temperature drop of 2-50 DEG C./hr. and a minimum temperature of 200-400 DEG C. The carbon may be in the form of anthracite coal, bituminous coal coke, pitch coke, and/or petroleum coke. A range of particle size distribution is specified. The carbonisable binder may be oil-gas, coke oven, lignite, petroleum, and/or coal-tar pitch. It may have a m.p. of 75-150 DEG C., preferably 105-120 DEG C. It may be present in an amount of 5-25%, preferably 12-20%. Combustion supporting gas may be introduced into the baking and soaking zones to consume deposited carbon. As shown a tunnel kiln is heated by a pair of muffle flues 12 having burners 14. The preheating and baking zones may be separated from the flues by porous brick-work (not shown), and the pressure in the flues may be less than in the preheating zone and more than in the baking zone by 0.001-0.5 inches of water. Thus a portion of the material vaporized in the furnace may be condensed in the cooler parts thereof, a portion may pass into flues 12 from the preheating zone, and a portion may be burnt in the baking zone. Coke and soot may be removed by reaction with steam from jets 30. The temperature and gas flow pattern may be controlled by injecting gas containing not more than 2% of oxygen at a rate of up to 200 cu. ft./min. at various points in the kiln. The inert gas may originate outside the kiln or may be withdrawn from the kiln itself or the muffle flues thereof. Further control of temperature may be effected by passing a mixture of hot products of combustion and air through a series of tubes (not shown) in the preheating zone, and cool air through a series of horizontal (as shown) or vertical pipes in the cooling zone.
