Prediction of Calcined Coke Bulk Density

Discrete Element Method Applied to the Vibration Process of Coke Particles

“…VBD test setupPacking density of calcined coke and also VBD of coke samples are affected by many production variables[42]. VBD of calcined coke can be predicted (by a limited extent) from green coke properties such as Hardgrove Grindability Index (HGI) and the volatiles content[43]. As an instance, as shown in figure 2.7, VBD of calcined coke decreases by increasing the corresponding green coke HGI[43].…”

As an instance, as shown in figure 2.7, VBD of calcined coke decreases by increasing the corresponding green coke HGI[43]. Shape and size[42][43][44] of the particles are considered as important parameters affecting the VBD of the coke samples.In the present work, coke samples from the same source with the same chemical properties have been used and only the effect of particles shape and size distribution on the VBD of coke samples is studied.…”
