Overview of Graphite Electrode Waste
Graphite electrodes are essential components in electric arc furnaces (EAF) used for steel production. These electrodes are made from high-purity carbon and are capable of withstanding extremely high temperatures. Over time, electrodes degrade and produce waste, which primarily consists of graphite. This waste material, often referred to as spent graphite or graphite electrode waste, can be recycled or reused in various applications, including metallurgy, lubricants, batteries, and refractories.
