Abstract
Abstract Shaped graphitic or graphite-like carbonaceous bodies are produced by forming binder-coated particles of a carbonaceous filler in a slurry, shaping the slurry or paste of the particles to the desired configuration, drying and cokefying the shaped body. The system is suitable for the production of graphitic structures for use in high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactors, as casting molds and the like. The present invention starts with the assumption that binder-coated filler particles are available, the particles having been coated uniformly (e.g. as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,009,143.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
140 words
A method of making a graphitic body formed from filler particles consisting of petroleum coke, electrographite, natural graphite or carbon black, coated with binder selected from the group which consists of phenol-formaldehyde resins, pitch and tar, said method comprising the steps of: a. producing a slurry of binder-coated filler particles by dissolving the binder first in methanol, a liquid in which the filler is slurried, and then introducing this slurry into water as a carrier liquid to produce an emulsion of the binder in the form of the coating upon the filler particles which settle and decanting the excess liquid; b. shaping a mass of said binder-coated particles in a mold under vibrating and heating up for separation of the liquid phase; c. thereafter drying the shaped mass of said binder-coated filler particles; and d. cokefying the dried shaped mass.
