Effect of titanium additives on carbon anode reactivity

详细

In order to ascertain the impact of titanium additives on carbon anode reactivity, different titanium content of carbon anodes were prepared with the single factor experimental method, and test its reactivity in CO₂ and air atmosphere respectively. The micro structure of carbon anodes and pitch cokes were tested by XRD. The pyrolysis process of pitch was tested with the TG-DTG method. The results show that the residual rate and chalking rate of carbon anode can also be significantly improved by increasing titanium content. Titanium additives can refine the crystallite size of carbon anode, promote the asphalt carbonization. The titanium additives can increase the apparent activation energy and pitch coke yield of the pyrolysis process, when the titanium content is 1.5%, E_a is 56.405 KJ/ mol, reaction order is 6.4, and the rate of pitch coke yield is 50.5%.
