Manufacture of dense coherent carbon masses

Claim 1

A METHOD OF MAKING DENSE COHERENT CARBON MASSES FROM FLUID COKE WHICH COMPRISES WITHDRAWING A STREAM OF GREEN COKE PARTICLES FROM A FLUID COKING SYSTEM, SCREEN ING THE COKE PARTICLES INTO A COASE FRACTION AND A FINE FRACTION, ADDING A BINDER TO THE FINE FRACTION AND FORMING SAID FINES INTO SUITABLE COMPACTIONS OF AT LEAST ONE-HALF INCH SIZE, PASSING THE COARSE FRACTION AND THE COMPACTIONS IN INTIMATE CONTACT THROUGH A ROTARY KILN HEATED TO TEMPERATURES OF ABOUT 1800*F. TO 2800*F., WITHDRAWING CALCINED COKE PRODUCT FROM THE KILN, SCREENING THE COMPACTIONS AND LARGE AGGLOMERATES FROM THE CALCINED PRODUCT, COOLING AND CRUSHING THE CALCINED COMPACTIONS, COOLING THE PRODUCT PASSING THROUGH THE SCREEN, GRINDING AT LEAST A PORTION OF THESE SCREENINGS TO PASS THROUGH A 200 MESH SCREEN, BLENDING THE SEVERAL CALCINED COKE PRODUCTS TO GIVE THE DESIRED PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION, ADDING A CARBONACEOUS BINDER AND FORMING THE RESULTING MIXTURE INTO A DENSE COHERENT CARBON MASS.
