With the recent surge in petroleum coke prices, downstream electrode and negative electrode companies have also become more enthusiastic about buying needle coke. According to needle coke companies, there has been a significant increase in inquiries recently, and some oil-based needle coke companies have raised their needle coke quotations. Another part of needle coke companies choose to hold back on selling products and not quote to the outside world for the time being, and will then make unified quotations to the outside world after the price is adjusted. At present, the price of mainstream oil-based needle coke is 6,000-6,500 yuan/ton. It has risen by about 1,000 yuan/ton.
Needle coke is a high-quality variety of carbon materials. Its structure has obvious flow texture, is slightly elliptical, and the particles have a large aspect ratio, with a fibrous or needle-like texture trend, and feel lubricated. Needle coke has the characteristics of high carbon, low sulfur, low nitrogen, and low ash. The electrochemical and mechanical properties after graphitization are outstanding. It is currently the highest quality negative electrode raw material.
