The Global Electrically Calcined Anthracite (ECA) Market report provides a holistic evaluation of the market. The report offers a comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.
Global Electrically Calcined Anthracite (ECA) Market Definition
Anthracite, also called as hard coal, is an ingenuously develop material. Furthermore, it is prosperous in carbon captivate and describe the maximal level of non-metamorphic coalification. Therefore, anthracite coal forms as a result of compression of geologically conserve organic detritus of ancient deluge, under the earth’s crust. Moreover, anthracite identify many applications in foundries as a, pigments, filler in rubber production, refractory coating component and carbon raiser. Furthermore, calcination process involves heating anthracite coal to high temperatures, in the existence of air or oxygen.
Besides, anthracite calcination is generally executed by two ways, i.e., gas calcination and electrical calcination. The calcined anthracite is fabricate using electrically burning calcining boiler. Besides, for applications such as in electrodes, calcination decreases the electrical resistivity properties of the material and removes any residual volatile organic compounds. Non-calcined anthracite is an electrical insulator. Therefore, electro-calcination is functionally similar to the traditional gas-fired method and produces a product that is largely indistinguishable, yet it is operated as a continuous process offering an inherent efficiency advantage over a regular gas furnace.
Furthermore, the first example of continuous electro-calcination on an industrial scale was demonstrated in China in the 1980s. Modern electro-calcination plants utilize direct current over alternating current, as efficiencies are greater despite a power reduction of circa 20%. Moreover, one of the major advantages of electro-calcination is much easier control of heat, and a completely uniform heat distribution. This makes for a completely uniform calcined product, ready for further use.

Global Electrically Calcined Anthracite (ECA) Market Overview
Rise in disposable income acts as a primary growth driver in the Global Electrically Calcined Anthracite (ECA) Market. In an electrothermal furnace, heat is provided by passing current through carbonaceous electrodes, such electrodes can be composed primarily of solely of ECA. Electrodes for this application must have a high capacity for electrical conductivity, a slow rate of oxidation, high mechanical strength and low heat conductivity. For the production of aluminum, ECA is used in the lining of the pot smelter as an insulator in addition to electrodes. Moreover, for steel and other ferrous metals production, it is used as an electrode for electrical smelting processes.
ECA can also be used in foundry cupolas. ECA have long been used for the cathodic portion of an electrochemical cell to produce/extract a variety of elements from solutions and for the smelting of non-ferrous metals. Therefore, ECA are most often used as the cathode and rely on ECA’s excellent electrical conduction properties in addition to long-term bulk stability. Moreover, specifically for smelting applications, ECA has an interesting electrical resistance that is significantly lower than anthracite, ECA is a good conductor which act as the growth driver for the market.
This makes it ideal for use as an electrode for aluminum smelting (more later) and in addition, electrodes based on ECA for smelting have a slow rate of oxidation. Combined with a high level of mechanical and compressive strength and low heat conductivity, ECA is an ideal choice. Therefore, electrodes may be formed from monoliths of ECA, semi-monoliths or a composite princess where resins are used to glue together small monoliths or powdered ECA.
