Process for production of carbon artifact feedstocks

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6369606
A process for converting cat cracker bottoms to a feedstock suitable for carbon artifact manufacture, especially carbon fiber manufacture, is provided. Basically, the cat cracker bottom is stripped of fractions boiling below about 400/sup 0/ C., catalytically heat soaked at temperatures below about 410/sup 0/ C., and then vacuum stripped to provide a pitch. The pitch is subsequently treated to remove high melting solids, such as ash, coke and catalyst fines.
