The article is devoted to the study of the impact of technological features of the anode paste production on one of the technical-and-economic indices – its consumption. It is shown that the prior thermal preparation significantly affects the quality characteristics of pitch and petroleum cokes. The comparison of pitches of foreign and homeland producers revealed the advantage of the last because of their small ash content and the lowered content of sodium. Granulometric composition of the dry mix is determined on the basis of different coke brands. They are close to the concentrations of fractions regulated by the technology of production of the anode paste. The conducted semi-industrial tests were in accordance with the laboratory studies and confirmed the fact of reducing the consumption of the anode paste when using the petroleum coke as a filler.
