Abstract
Improved tests were developed for rating calcined cokes for aluminum smelting according to bulk density. The maximum density-possible in blending particle size fractions of a coke and the sizing which produced the maximum density were reliably predicted from simple bulk density measurements of selected fractions. Green apparent densities and baked apparent densities of small scale anodes were correlated with coke bulk densities.
