Petroleum coke is a potential partial replacement of coking coals (being in short supply) in manufacture of metallurgical coke; in Russia and other CIS countries it was entitled as petroleum coking additive (PCA), petroleum coke with output of volatile substances within the range 15-25 %. The second part of the work describes the results of conducted experimental researches in the field of manufacture of petroleum coke additive on the example of use of two kinds of sulfuric petroleum residues of "KINEF" JSC as raw materials: residue of atmospheric distillation and mixture of residues of vacuum distillation and visbreaking. The research was conducted for two temperature procedures within the ranges 455-465 and 475-485 qС. Eight samples of carbon material were obtained as a result of conversion, and influence of input parameters of the coking process on composition and physical-chemical properties of obtained carbon materials was established. Based on content of volatile substances in petroleum coke additive and its group chemical composition, which was determined via extraction method (content of D-, Eand J-fractions) and via infrared Fourier spectroscopy, assessment and ranging of the eight obtained PCA samples were carried out by their sintering susceptibility. Interpretation of infrared spectra of obtained PCA samples was conducted via comparison with infrared spectra of coking coal, which have identical absorption stripes. Relation between PCA sintering ability and procedure parameters of the coking process was revealed. It was determined that technological process occurring at the less coking temperature 455-465 qС provides high quality PCA forming, otherwise the procedure with higher temperature (475-485 qС).
