METHOD AND CALCINING FURNACE FOR ELECTRIC CALCINING OF CARBONACEOUS MATERIAL

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and a furnace for electric calcining of carbonaceous material for the production of graphite or graphite-containing material. Carbonaceous materials supplied to the top of a vertically arranged furnace having a cylindrical cross section. The furnace is equipped with one top electrode and one bottom electrode and has means for supplying electric current to the electrodes for heating of the carbonaceous material. The calcined carbonaceous material is discharged at the bottom of the furnace in one stream containing material calcined in the center of the furnace and one stream containing material calcined near the periphery of the furnace.
