Alumina – Al₂O₃

---

 

The Raw Material for the production of primary Aluminium. Alumina is converted into Aluminium in the electrolysis process. Bathco sources from large and renowned Alumina refineries globally.

Aluminium Fluoride – AlF₃

---

 

Aluminium Fluoride is an additive to the electrolysis process that, in essence, lowers the melting point of the process and hence reduces electricity consumption. Bathco has cooperation and marketing agreements with producers of AlF₃ of different origins.

Bath Material

---

 

Bath Material, crucial in the Hall-Héroult process for primary Aluminum, accumulates as surplus due to high Sodium in Alumina during smelting. Bathco, a global leader, collaborates with smelters to provide timely, quality Bath Material for diverse applications, including recycling and manufacturing. We offer flexibility in working with any supplier or buyer, ensuring reliable supply globally.

Calcined Petroleum Coke – CPC

---

 

Calcined Petroleum Coke is produced from Green Delayed Petroleum Coke in a calcination process. It is a vital Raw Material for the production of Carbon Anodes. Bathco supplies this material from the industry’s leading Global producers.

Carbon Anodes

---

 

In smelters running with prebake technology, Carbon Anodes, consisting of Calcined Petroleum Coke and Coal Tar Pitch as a binder are consumed.

A smelter either produces their own Carbon Anodes or procures them on the market. Bathco can supply any size of Anodes under spot- and/or long-term agreements.

Carbon Anode Butts

---

 

For smelters that produce Carbon Anodes, Bathco can provide spent Anodes (Anode Butts) from a variety of smelters with different qualities. Those Anode Butts can be used again as Raw Material for the production of Anodes.

Coal Tar Pitch – CTP

---

 

Coal Tar Pitch is a derivate of the distillation of Coal Tar. It is used as a binder for the production of Carbon Anodes.

Synthetic Cryolite – Na₃AlF₆

---

 

Synthetic Cryolite was primarily used as the electrolyte in the Aluminium reduction process. For this purpose, it has been widely replaced by Bath Material and is now used mainly for specialty applications. Bathco supplies all qualities of Synthetic Cryolite to its customers.
