Box 362, CH-3960, Sierre, Switzerland Received 02.03.2016, received in revised form 27.05.2016, accepted 04.07.2016 Expansion of the Russian aluminium smelting is foreseen by using high amperage Rusal prebaked pot technology. <...> For a high productivity of such modern smelters – thanks high amperage but also high current effi ciency, but also for low energy consumption – the performance of the prebaked anodes is decisive. <...> Bench mark anode quality is therefore critical for low metal production cost. <...> The intrinsic quality of anodes depends on the raw materials, mainly on the coke properties, and on the production equipment and their operating parameter conditions. <...> Based on a review of the domestic available green cokes, a prediction of the corresponding calcined coke blend and of the prebaked anode properties has been performed. <...> Provided that a state of the art carbon plant installation is available, including the rodding shop for the butts quality, the bench mark quality of the prebaked anodes made with a representative coke blend has been defi ned. <...> This forecast of the best achievable anode quality will be the basis for technical assessments of the performance of existing and future Russian carbon plants. <...> Citation: Meier M., Perruchoud R., Wyss J.
