摘要:
A liquid impregnant containing furfural, an acid catalyst and a pore-forming agent comprising a surfactant, e.g. a polyalkylene oxide adduct, is impregnated into fine grained, isotropic graphite bodies and then polymerized and pyrolyzed. An increase in the density of the impregnated body and an improved surface finish is obtained by means of the liquid impregnant and method of this invention.

Carbon electrodes are impregnated with pitch during transport in mobile vessels which first travel to a heating station where the electrodes are heated in several stages by gases which are hotter from stage to stage. The vessels next travels to a station where the sealed vessels are connected with a suction pump to evacuate the fluid from their interiors and from the pores of the electrodes therein and where the vessels are substantially filled with pitch which is caused to penetrate into the empty pores. The vessels then travel to a station where the contents of the vessels are pressurized to ensure complete permeation of electrodes with pitch. The vessels subsequently travel an optional station where the electrodes in the vessels are baked to convert the pitch into coke, and to one or more cooling stations where the electrodes are heated by air, water and/or nitrogen. Fumes which develop during heating, evacuation of fluid from the pores, baking and cooling are filtered to avoid contamination of the surrounding area.

The invention is a method for depositing liquid-suspended particles on an immersed porous article characterized by interconnected porosity. In one form of the invention, coating is conducted in a vessel containing an organic liquid supporting a colloidal dispersion of graphite sized to lodge in surface pores of the article. The liquid comprises a first volatile component (e.g., acetone) and a second less-volatile component (e.g., toluene) containing a dissolved organic graphite-bonding agent. The liquid also contains an organic agent (e.g., cellulose gum) for maintaining the particles in suspension. A porous carbon article to be coated is immersed in the liquid so that it is permeated therewith. While the liquid is stirred to maintain a uniform blend, the vessel headspace is evacuated to effect flashing-off of the first component from the interior of the article. This causes particle-laden liquid exterior of the article to flow inwardly through its surface pores, lodging particles in these pores and forming a continuous graphite coating. The coated article is retrieved and heated to resin-bond the graphite. The method can be used to form a smooth, adherent, continuous coating of various materials on various porous articles. The method is rapid and reproducible.

In order to improve mechanical and electric characteristics of carbon electrodes, they are impregnated with pitch. This impregnation operation can be accomplished at high efficiency by loading a plurality of electrodes on a specific pallet. However, when the carbon electrode-loaded pallet is dipped in an impregnation vessel, pitch adheres to the pallet, and if such pitch-adhering pallet loading fresh carbon electrodes thereon is introduced again into a pre-heating furnace prior to the impregnation operation, the pre-heating furnace is contaminated with pitch and there is a risk of a fire. In order to avoid this disadvantage, there is adopted a method in which different pallets are used for introducing carbon electrodes into the pre-heating furnace and for introducing them into the impregnation vessel, respectively. In this method, the operation of shifting carbon electrodes from one pallet to another pallet is necessary. In this invention, a specific shifting method is adopted for preventing carbon electrodes from being damaged or broken during the shifting operation.
摘要:
A process for producing refractories wherein an impregnant is filled into open pores of the refractories. The impregnant is the thermoplastic resinous material which is obtained by removing a light fraction having a boiling point of less than 200.degree. C under a reduced pressure of 100 mmHg and having a benzene-insoluble fraction content of less than 10% by weight from at least one member selected from the group consisting of a heavy oil obtained by the steam cracking of petroleum and the polymerization product of said heavy oil. The slag penetration resistance, slag erosion resistance and slaking resistance of the impregnated refractories are improved thereby.
摘要:
Two catalytic additives are added to a mixed solution of acetone and furfural to produce a resinous solution for use in impregnating a carbonaceous product. A carbonaceous article is impregnated with the solution at a reduced pressure, and the article is immersed in a concentrated sulfuric acid bath. Then, it is withdrawn from the acid bath, rinsed, and dried. Finally, it is subjected to a heat treatment at elevated temperatures to carbonize or graphitize the carbon product impregnated with the resinous solution.
