Synthetic graphite is a man-made substance manufactured by the high temperature processing of amorphous carbon materials. The types of amorphous carbon used as precursors to graphite are many, and can be derived from petroleum, coal, or natural and synthetic organic materials. In some cases graphite can even be manufactured by the direct precipitation of graphitic carbon from pyrolysis of a carbonaceous gas such as acetylene (pyrolytic graphite). One important commonality between all graphite precursors is that they must contain carbon. Graphite is carbon, a specific form of carbon, so it can only be derived from other carbon containing substances. Although synthetic graphite can be manufactured from any number of precursor materials, the primary material used to manufacture it in the United States is petroleum coke. As noted above only certain types of carbonaceous feeds are suitable for graphite production. Therefore the petroleum coke used for the synthetic graphite industry must be carefully specified to assure it is of the type that will ultimately result in high quality graphitic carbon. The report data includes Synthetic Graphite electrode used for aluminium industry, but another product, Prebaked Consumable Carbon Anode used for the is not included. Prebaked Consumable Carbon Anodes are a specific type of anode designed for aluminium smelting using the Hall-Héroult process. The price is much lower than Synthetic Graphite electrode, and the volume is much bigger than the Graphite electrode. It is a Carbon product, not a Graphite product.
