Benzo[a]pyrene Emission in the Carbonization of Pitch and Pitch–Coke Mixtures. Part 5

Abstract

Production technologies for carbon-bearing binders with reduced carcinogenic impact (emissions) on carbonization are considered. Information is provided regarding the best-known European binders with reduced benzo[a]pyrene emissions on carbonization that are used in the production of refractories and carbon materials. A method is proposed for the production and use of a carbon binder that may be added to coal tar pitch in order to minimize benzo[a]pyrene emissions on carbonization.
