ABSTRACT:
The present invention concerns a method for baking or calcination of shaped carbon bodies in a furnace and a packing material for use in the same. In accordance with the method, carbon bodies are burned in a furnace chamber, supported or surrounded by a packing material which is formed from a mixture of a material containing carbon and particles of a material containing silicon oxide such as crushed chamotte stone. In accordance with the method, the baking of the carbon bodies will take place at a greater temperature gradient across the packing joint than previously, which results in greater tar combustion and better utilisation of the energy in the degasified components. Furthermore, a packing material is described that contains a component containing carbon and that also contains particles containing silicon oxide in a homogeneous mixture with the component containing carbon. The component containing carbon can be a granulate such as pellets of a mass that comprises dust containing carbon and a binder of tar/pitch. The dust containing carbon in the mass can be made up of butt filter dust which contains sodium and fluorine. The mass can also contain a powder/dust of a material containing silicon oxide such as crushed, ground chamotte stone. The present invention results in that materials/substances currently dumped, now can be reused for the baking of carbon bodies within the aluminium industry.
