Abstract
Methods of producing a biochar petroleum coke product comprises blending a biochar with green petroleum coke, agglomerating the mixture with a binder to form a plurality of agglomerates, and calcining the plurality of agglomerates to form the biochar petroleum coke product. Biochar petroleum coke products comprise petroleum coke, at least 3 wt % biochar, less than 5 wt % sulfur, less than 0.5 wt % hydrogen, and less than 2 wt % ash.
Claims22
A method of producing a biochar petroleum coke product, the method comprising the steps of:
- blending a biochar with green petroleum coke, wherein the green petroleum coke has an average particle size of from about 0.01 mm to about 5 mm and a volatile content from about 3 to about 20 wt % to form a mixture;
- agglomerating the mixture with a binder, which can include water, to form a plurality of agglomerates;
- and
- calcining the plurality of agglomerates at a temperature of at least 1000° C. to form the biochar petroleum coke product, wherein the biochar petroleum coke product comprises at least 3 wt % to at least 50 wt % biochar.
