Chinese calcined petroleum coke plants usually produce the following types of petroleum coke:

High-sulfur petroleum coke: This kind of petroleum coke has a high sulfur content and is generally used in ferroalloy production and other fields.

Medium sulfur petroleum coke: This petroleum coke has a moderate sulfur content and is commonly used in aluminum smelting, steelmaking and other metallurgical industries.

Low-sulfur petroleum coke: This kind of petroleum coke has low sulfur content and is generally used in carbon products, aluminum electrodes, ferroalloy production and other fields.

needle coke: This petroleum coke has very low sulfur content and is mainly used in the production of high-end carbon products, such as electrode graphite.

The advantages and disadvantages of high-sulfur calcined petroleum coke are as follows:

Advantage:

Low cost: High-sulfur calcined petroleum coke is relatively low-cost to produce, making it an affordable option.

High carbon content: High sulfur calcined petroleum coke has a higher carbon content, providing greater energy output.

Disadvantages:

Higher sulfur content: High-sulfur calcined petroleum coke often contains higher sulfur content, which may cause environmental pollution problems.

Low coke quality: Due to the production process and raw material quality issues of high-sulfur calcined petroleum coke, its coke quality may be relatively low.

Application areas: Since high-sulfur calcined petroleum coke has lower cost and higher carbon content, it is mainly used in the following fields:

Steel industry: High-sulfur calcined petroleum coke is often used as fuel and reducing agent in smelting and steelmaking processes.

Foundry industry: High-sulfur calcined petroleum coke can be used as a heating source and desulfurizer for castings in the foundry industry.

Chemical industry: High-sulfur calcined petroleum coke can be used as a catalyst or adsorbent for chemical reactions, used to synthesize chemicals or remove harmful substances from wastewater.

Electric power industry: High-sulfur calcined petroleum coke can be used as fuel to generate electricity or provide energy.

Coking plant: High-sulfur calcined petroleum coke can be used as raw material for reprocessing or reuse in the coking plant.

To sum up, high-sulfur calcined petroleum coke is mainly used in industrial fields such as steel, foundry, chemical industry, electric power and coking, and can be used to manufacture fuels, catalysts, adsorbents and provide energy and other products. However, due to its high sulfur content, environmental protection issues need to be paid attention to when using it.
