| Abstract | Samples of Syrian sponge coke were thermally treated at high temperatures and increased residence time. A coke of higher quality was thereby obtained, with reduced sulphur content and higher real density. The observed weight loss was minimal, and the decrease in the calorific value was of the order expected for other types of petroleum coke. Keywords: Petroleum coke, Sponge coke, Thermal treatment, Desulphurization. |
