摘要 |
<p>This invention relates to a method of producing carbonaceous bodies, in particular electrodes of parallelepipedal, cubic, or cylindrical shape, e.g. in the production of aluminum or steel by calcining raw shaped bodies (12) containing pyrolyzable substances, in a tunnel type furnace. The method's peculiar aspect is that, at least until the binder within the carbonaceous bodies (12) has turned soft throughout, a consistently divided weight according to the binder used is made to act on the surface(s) covering the carbonaceous bodies (12). Where carbonaceous bodies of elongate shape are to be calcined, they may be disposed vertically so as to utilize their own weight.</p> |
