What is BS 6043-1.9- Sulphur content used in the production of aluminum about?
BS 6043 discusses carbonaceous materials used in aluminum manufacture. BS 6043-1.9 belongs to the BS 6043 multi-series and discusses the determination of Sulphur content used in the production of aluminum.
The method in BS 6043 is applicable to pitches of both coal tar and petroleum origin if they contain at least 0,1 % (m/m) sulfur.
Who is BS 6043-1.9- Sulphur content used in the production of aluminum for?
BS 6043-1.9 on the determination of Sulphur content used in the production of aluminum is useful for:
- Aluminums manufactures
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS 6043-1.9- Sulphur content used in the production of aluminium?
Carbon anodes used in aluminum smelting typically contain 1−4 wt % sulfur, originating from the petroleum cokes used in anode fabrication. When the anode is consumed, sulfur gases are emitted, COS and SO2, which are detrimental to the environment.
BS 6043-1.9 provides you with a method for determining the sulfur content of pitch used in the
production of aluminium. BS 6043-1.9 guides you with the reagents, apparatus and sampling required for the test procedure. BS 6043-1.9 also provides guidance with the preparation of the test sample. BS 6043-1.9 guides you with the test procedure and expression of the result. BS 6043-1.9 helps you identify the sulphur content of pitch used in the production of aluminium.
