Method for producing mesophase-containing pitch by using carrier gas

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6015851
A method for producing a mesophase-containing pitch from petroleum pitch or coal tar pitch is disclosed. According to this method volatile distillate fractions, which are harmful to mesophase formation and present originally in the raw material pitch or formed as by-product during heat treatment time are driven off by using a carrier gas at a temperature of 360/sup 0/ to 450/sup 0/ C. in order to shorten the overall heat treatment time and advance the mesophase formation smoothly by the increase of stirring effect.
