Abstract:
The disclosure provides bio-asphalt, bio-asphalt compositions and a method for preparing them. It belongs to the technical field of asphalt material. The method of the disclosure uses bio-oil as the raw material, adopts a combination of extraction process and oxidation process to prepare bio-asphalt, and modifies the product obtained from bio-oil by extraction process or bio-asphalt with ordinary petroleum asphalt and/or aromatic hydrocarbon oil and a macromolecular material to obtain a bio-asphalt composition.
Abstract:
A process for purifying at least one product from coal tar is described. The process involves separating a coal tar fraction having a boiling point in the range of about 180° C. to about 230° C. into an acidic portion and a non-acidic portion by contacting the fraction with a caustic compound. The acidic portion is separated into a cresol portion and a xylenol portion, and the non-acidic portion is separated into a naphthalene portion and a naphthalene co-boiler portion. The acidic portion and the non-acidic portions are separated by contacting with an adsorbent comprising small, discrete crystallites, the adsorbent having less than 10 wt % amorphous binder component. The various portions can be separated in a similar manner.
Abstract:
A process for removing at least one contaminant from coal tar is described. The process involves extraction with an extraction agent or adsorption with an adsorbent. The extraction agent includes at least one of amphiphilic block copolymers, inclusion complexes of poly(methyl methacrylate) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, cyclodextrins, functionalized cyclodextrins, and cyclodextrin-functionalized polymers, and the adsorbent includes exfoliated graphite oxide, thermally exfoliated graphite oxide or intercalated graphite compounds.
Abstract:
A process for producing mesophase pitch from high-temperature coal tar comprises: removing salts and quinoline insoluble fraction from a high-temperature coal tar to obtain a decant oil; using the decant oil as a hydrogenation feedstock, or pre-distilling the decant oil to obtain a residue with a boiling point higher than 230 and formulating the residue into a hydrogenation feedstock; catalytic hydrorefining the hydrogenation feedstock to obtain a hydrofined oil; distilling the hydrofined oil to obtain hydrogenated pitch; and subjecting the hydrogenated pitch to the thermal polymerization to obtain the mesophase pitch. The process has features such as an easily controllable degree of hydrogenation, complete removal of impurities, good raw material flowability, not tending to form the carbon deposition and the coking during the process, and not tending to jam the reactor. The product has a high content of mesophase pitch, a low softening point and a low impurity content.
Abstract:
A reduced puffing needle coke is formed, which includes a lesser amount of nitrogen within the coke so that carbon articles produced from such coke experience minimal expansion upon heating to graphitization temperatures.

Abstract:
The unwanted components from coal tars should be removed at a certain stage of the process for producing homogeneous spinning pitches which are suitable for use in the production of high-performance carbon fibers from coal tars. The unwanted components can be eliminated from coal tars in a very efficient manner by the following procedures: subjecting the coal tars to distillation or flash distillation so as to separate a heavy component having a boiling point higher than a predetermined temperature, dissolving the heavy component in a monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon solvent, and subjecting the solution to filtration or centrifugation.
