Résumé

Aluminum is produced in electrolytic cells using carbon anodes, which consist of a mixture of coke, pitch, and recycled carbon material. Anodes play an important role in aluminum production. The quality of raw materials can vary based on the source and the process parameters. In spite of the variations in the raw material properties, the industry has to maintain the quality of anodes. In order to manufacture good quality anodes, coke and pitch must interact well with each other. The affinity between these two components depends on good wetting properties, which will lead to good binding of the particles. The main objective of this work is to modify the coke in order to improve its wetting properties using different additives. An FT-IR study was done to identify certain functional groups in non-modified and modified coke as well as in pitch. The wetting tests were carried out using the sessile-drop method to measure the contact angle between cokes and pitch. Based on FT-IR and wettability results, an additive was selected and used for the fabrication of anodes, which were characterized before and after baking. The modification of coke with the selected additive improved the anode properties.
