Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of bulkdensity of a representative 2-kg sample of calcined petroleumcoke, after vibration to increase compaction, using a semi-automatic apparatus.1.2 The procedure is applied, but not limited, to particlespassing through a 4.75-mm open

4、ing sieve and retained on a1.18-mm opening sieve. Further, the procedure is applied, butnot limited, to a specific test sample having particles passingthrough a 0.85-mm opening sieve and retained on a 0.425-mmopening sieve. This procedure could also be applied to othersieve fractions being agreed on

5、 in the aluminum industry asspecified in Annex A1.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibil

Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 as-calcined particles, nof coke, those particles thathave not been subject to laboratory crushing.3.1.2 bulk density, nof coke, the ratio of the mass of acollection of particles of a specified particle

8、size range to thevolume occupied.3.1.3 laboratory crushed particles, n of coke, those par-ticles of petroleum coke that have been crushed in thelaboratory.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The natural 4.75 by 1.18-mm fraction of the originalcoke is separated from the sample by manual screening, groundto

9、0.85 by 0.425 mm, and fed at a controlled rate into agraduated cylinder on a vibrating table until the coke reachesthe 50-mL mark. The collected coke is weighed and the bulkdensity is calculated and reported in g/mL.4.2 The procedure is empirical; close adherence to thetechnique and apparatus is nec

10、essary to ensure reproducibleresults. To provide comparable results in different locations,exact adjustments of operating parameters are required usingreference samples.5. Significance and Use5.1 Vibrated bulk density (VBD) is an indicator of calcinedpetroleum coke porosity, which affects its suitab

11、ility for use inpitch-bonded carbon applications. (WarningVibrated bulkdensity for a sample of calcined petroleum coke is stronglydependent upon average particle size and particle size range.Bulk density tends to increase with decreasing coke size. Anarrow particle size range for this test minimizes

12、 the possibilityfor variation due to skewing of the test sample toward eitherscreen defining the sample.)6.

Manually screen out the 0.85 byFIG. 1 Example of Semi-Automated Apparatus Set-UpD7454

23、14120.425-mm fraction and add this fraction into the same plasticbag referred to in 8.7. Discard the 0.85-mm fraction, if present.8.9 Repeat, if necessary, the grinding procedure in 8.8 of the 0.85-mm fraction, until all particles pass through the0.85-mm sieve. It is possible that at this step, abou

24、t 1 to3gofparticles larger than 0.85 mm cannot be ground to finerparticles. Do not attempt to grind them using roller spacingsmaller than 0.5 mm. Simply discard them (these particles arein general, plate-like shape particles and should not be used forbulk density measurement).8.10 Manually mix the c

Using a sieving shaker screen out the 0.85 by0.425-mm fraction for 7 min. Discard the 0.425 mm material.8.12 Transfer the 0.85 by 0.425-mm material into

26、an appro-priate plastic container and manually mix the contents (about100 mL of material is needed for analysis).9. Preparation of Apparatus9.1 Install the apparatus as shown Fig. 1.10. Calibration and Standardization10.1 Calibration of Graduated CylinderAdjust the heightof the photodetector, and de

27、termine the true volume at the50-mL mark of the graduated cylinder, following the detailedprocedure given in Annex A2. Calibration shall be made eachtime a new cylinder is used or when the apparatus is moved.10.2 Determination of the Displacement Speed Target of theJoggerDetermine the displacement t

28、arget, in accordancewith Annex A3, using standard reference materials. Onceestablished, this target shall be kept indefinitely unless theprobe, the controller or the jogger have to be changed.10.3 Feeding RateCheck/adjust the feeding rate for eachsample.11. Procedure11.1 Make sure that the vibrating

29、 table is levelled.11.2 Turn on the apparatus at least 10 min before initiatingmeasurements. The power should not be turned off betweenreadings.11.3 Weigh the graduated cylinder to the nearest 0.01 g,insert it into the clamping device on the vibrating table whileensuring it does not touch the photoe

30、lectric sensor, and let thetable vibration stabilize to the set points (it takes a fewseconds).11.4 Fill the upper funnel with the coke sample.11.5 Fill the cylinder to about half, using maximum feedingrate, to make a constant bed in the vibrator bowl. Stop thefeeding, empty the cylinder in the uppe

31、r funnel, and reinsert itin the clamping device.11.6 Using the automatic mode, reset the chronometer,initiate the feeding and adjust if necessary, the bowl vibrationintensity to obtain the feeding time of 30 6 3 s/10 mL. Thefeeding will automatically stop when the 50-mL mark isreached. If no feeding

32、 time adjustment was necessary and if thedischarge time falls within 135 and 165 s, proceed to 11.7.Otherwise, repeat 11.6 until the time target is met.11.7 Empty the cylinder in the upper funnel, reinsert it intothe clamping device, and let the table vibration stabilize to theset points (it takes f

33、ew seconds). Then, using the automaticmode, reset the chronometer and initiate feeding. The feedingwill stop automatically.11.8 Check that the discharge time falls within 135 and165 s (150 6 15 s). If not, return the coke to the upper funneland repeat from 11.6 to readjust the feeding time.11.9 Remo

34、ve the cylinder containing the coke and weigh tothe nearest 0.01 g. Take two additional readings according to11.7, readjusting, if necessary, the feeding time to meet thetarget (between 135 and 165 s).11.10 If the difference between the lowest and highestweight readings exceeds 0.40 g, check if the

35、apparatus isproperly functioning, and repeat the test until two consecutiveruns agree within the specified 0.40 g. Discard readings only ifa malfunction was identified (for example, the apparatus wasnot on speed displacement target, or the time target was notmet).12. Calculation or Interpretation of

36、 Results12.1 Calculate the average of all acceptable weight readings(at least three).12.2 Calculate VBD using the following equation:Vibrated Bulk Density g/mL! 5Average weight of coke g!Calibrated volume of cylinder mL!(1)13.
