Particle sizing has immense potential for increasing the competitiveness of aluminum smelting processes while greatly reducing the associated carbon emissions. Indeed, particle sizing with laser diffraction instead of traditional methods like sieving allows aluminum smelters to optimize their pet-coke grinding processes and thereby produce higher-quality carbon anodes, which are crucial components in the aluminum smelting process. Higher-quality anodes degrade less quickly, greatly reducing costs and carbon emissions.
In this webinar, Malvern Panalytical Director of Business Development Oliver Schmidtt will dive into the details of pet-coke grinding and the benefits of laser diffraction in this key step of the aluminum smelting process. He’ll then present the benefits of the Insitec on-line particle size analyzer in this context. This is a great opportunity to learn about how analytical solutions can provide immense sustainability benefits and help aluminum smelters stay ahead of the competition.
