This project aims to demonstrate, independently, the three primary processes necessary to produce carbon fiber from coal feedstock material and assess the potential for those independent processes to integrate into a single, continuous process in order to provide significant cost reductions in the most costly steps of carbon fiber processing. The specific objective of the present research is to assess the technical feasibility for generation of quality carbon fiber pre-cursor materials from coal using a supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) solvation process.
