How much petroleum coke is used for synthetic graphic products and refractory products?

Question

I'm looking for leads to figure out how much petroleum coke is used in the manufacture of synthetic graphite products (other than carbon anodes) and refractory products?

Answer 1

"Petroleum coke"? That's a new one on me, coke is from coal. The process of petroleum and coal development are apples from oranges apart. I know there are processes, have been for years thanks to German ingenuity, to produce petroleum substitutes from coal. Sorry, if they are making coke out of oil these days, I was asleep at the switch somewhere.
