In the production of aluminium, a key ingredient is Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC), which is generated by heating/ calcining raw petroleum coke at temperature ranging between 1200 and 1350 degrees Celsius into rotary kilns. At the high temperature, the excessive moisture in the raw petroleum coke resultant from the delayed coking of residues obtained from oil refinery's crude oil distillation units is removed, residual hydrocarbons are released and coke's crystalline structure is modified. This entire process results in a product that has low sulfur content, no metallic impurities and is more electrically conductive and dense. The resultant CPC is then left to cool down, so that it can be handled by personnel with ease. Aluminium smelter anodes for the smelting industry can only be produced using CPC; there is no substitute of this raw material till date.
Around 0.4 tons of calcined petroleum coke is required for the production of a ton of aluminium. Aluminium industry is the largest consumer of calcined petroleum coke, followed by steel, plain, plastic, brick and food industries. It is also used in the production of titanium dioxide (TiO2).

Phoolchand Bhagat Singh is an exporter, importer, and trader of various minerals including fluorspar lump. They may be involved in the sourcing, transportation, and sale of Graphite petroleum coke to customers in different industries.
Graphite petroleum coke is a byproduct of the oil refining process. It is produced by the coking unit of a refinery and is used primarily in the production of steel and aluminum as carbon additives to improve the quality and strength of these metals.
Graphite petroleum coke is made from a combination of petroleum coke and graphite electrodes that are used in the steel and aluminum production process. It has a high carbon content and is also used in the production of refractory bricks, electrodes for electric arc furnaces, and as a lubricant in foundry operations.
Graphite petroleum coke is typically produced by heating petroleum coke to high temperatures in the presence of a catalyst, which causes the carbon in the coke to crystallize and form graphite. The resulting product is then crushed, screened, and sized to meet the specifications of customers in the steel and aluminum industries.
Graphite petroleum coke is an important industrial commodity that is traded on global markets. The price of graphite petroleum coke can be influenced by a variety of factors, including the level of global economic activity, demand from the steel and aluminum industries, and the availability of supply from oil refineries around the world.

Zinc with Zn as a chemical symbol can be identified by its bluish-silver color. With 419.53 as maximum melting point and 907 as boiling point, zinc metal finds use in many applications. The zinc ingots can be segregated into standard and jumbo ingots as well as by their grade, for instance special high grade, continuous galvanizing grade, high grade, etc.
Applications
Every year around 13 Million tonnes of zinc are produced throughout the world. Following is the segregation done based on the utility:

• Nearly 58% of the total is utilized in the process of galvanizing, which is performed to protect steel against corrosion.
• About 14% zinc is used for manufacturing zinc die casting alloys.
• Approximately 9% zinc is used for production of chemicals and oxides.
• Around 10% is utilized in Brass semis and castings production.

Galvanizing:Steel products are zinc coated in a galvanizing process to make them resistant against corrosion. The steel products that are galvanized are many, from steel furniture, buildings, automobiles to household appliances.

Zinc Oxide:Zinc oxide is a zinc compound that finds use in vulcanisation of a wide range of products, for instance paint, ceramics and rubber.

Die Castings:Zinc die cast alloy finds use in several electronic components, hardware fittings, electrical equipments, etc.

Alloys:Zinc and copper are used in making an alloy called brass.

IndustriesThe high strength, pure and highly malleable zinc ingots are used in several industrial sectors from chemical, rubber, automobile, battery to furniture.
