graphitized petroleum coke-What is Petcoke?
The demand for petroleum products worldwide is enormous. A barrel of crude oil hides a number of those products in its depths. Petroleum refining produces over 2500 of them, one of which is Petcoke. It has been in production since the 1930s. The growing demand for Petcoke due to industrialization and modernization led to innovations in the bitumen (a sticky, black, highly viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum) extraction process, which have given an impetus to Petcoke production in recent years.
