(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in recent years, in the production of carbon molded bodies such as graphite electrodes, rapid graphitization methods are increasingly being adopted to save energy. If used needle coke is directly used in the production of carbon compacts, a buffing phenomenon may occur during high-temperature firing such as rapid graphitization, resulting in cracks in the product. The applied specific gravity may become small and a product with sufficient strength may not be obtained.

Further, iron or iron compounds used in the present invention include metallic iron and various inorganic compounds of iron such as iron oxide, iron ore, and iron sulfide.
Examples include organic iron complex compounds such as ferrocene. However, among these, organic iron complex compounds are decomposed during coking, and some of the iron elements in the iron complex compounds are volatilized.
Since the remaining iron element is also difficult to be completely and uniformly dispersed in the coke, the effect of suppressing buffing is slightly smaller than when an inorganic iron compound is used.
