6、Specification for Reagent Water3.Summary of Test Method3.1 A representative sample of the petroleum coke is ashedat 525 C under specified conditions.The ash is fused withlithium tetraborate(Li2B4O7),or lithium metaborate(LiBO3).The melt is dissolved in dilute hydrochloric acid(HCl),and theresultant
7、solution is analyzed by atomic absorption spectros-copy for the following elements:aluminum,calcium,iron,nickel,silicon,sodium,and vanadium.4.Significance and Use4.1 The presence and concentration of various metallicelements in a petroleum coke are major factors in the suitabilityof the coke for var
8、ious uses.This test method provides a meansof measuring the amounts of those metallic elements in thecoke sample.4.2 The concentration of these elements is one factor indetermining the economic value of the coke.Coke used forproduction of electrodes will have different specification re-quirements de
9、pendent on what service the electrodes will beused in.Generally the fuel cokes are highest in metallicelement concentration and have the least economic value.4.3 The test method provides a standard procedure for useby the purchaser and seller in the commercial transfer ofpetroleum coke to determine
