Green
cokeraw coke) is the primary solid
carbonization product from high boiling hydrocarbon fractions obtained at temperatures below
.
It contains a fraction of matter that can be released as volatiles during subsequent
heat treatment at temperatures up to approximately
.
This
mass fraction, the so-called volatile matter, is in the case of green
coke between 4 and 15 wt.%, but it depends also on the heating rate.
Note:
Raw coke is an equivalent term to green
coke although it is now less frequently used. The so-called volatile matter of green
coke depends on temperature and time of
coking, but also on the method for its determination.
