https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.C00774

Definition:
A petroleum coke or coal-derived pitch coke obtained by heat treatment of green coke to about 1600 K. It will normally have a hydrogen content of less than 0.1 wt.%.

Note: Calcined @C01142@ is the main raw material for the manufacture of @P04730@ and @P04731@ products (e.g. @C00829-1@ and @C00829-2@).
