Abstract
At the Sabart paste plant (at Tarascon-sur-Ariège, France), the interposition of a paste mixing and cooling unit between the mixer and the compactor makes it possible:
-
i)
to mix at the optimum temperature ensuring good wetting of the dry matter by the pitch and yielding the desired rheology
-
ii)
to compact at the optimum temperature for maximum anode density.
