Description

Thesis by Kirstine L. Hulse, published in 2000 by R&D Carbon Ltd., ISBN 3-9521028-5-7

This book contains the results of Dr. Kirstine L. Hulse’s thesis for which she received her Ph.D. from the School of Engineering, University of Auckland, New Zealand. This thesis incorporates how different parameters influence anode quality in anode manufacture from the raw materials to the compacted green anode.

Thereby the sensitivity of the process variables from the raw materials and the equipment is investigated with respect to the resulting anode quality.
