Abstract
Production of high-quality binder pitch is important since it is one of the essential raw materials for artificial carbon/graphite electrodes. A two-step process of oxidation and mild polymerization were employed to develop binder pitches from four refined pitches produced from high-temperature coal tar pitches from various sources. Moreover, coking properties of the binder pitch were thoroughly investigated. Proximate, ultimate, FT-IR, optical, and thermogravimetric analyses were used to explore the fundamental physic-chemical properties of the binder pitch. Further, optical microscope, XRD, Raman spectrum, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and micro-strength were also used to determine micro-structure of binder pitch coke. The findings demonstrate that four refined high-temperature coal tar pitches could prepare binder pitches with optically isotropic, high aromatic, and strong thermal stability using the two-step process. The optical microstructure of binder pitch cokes produced using carbonization and thermal conversion methods comprised mainly of leaflets and contained a significant amount of regular carbon microcrystals. Among them, optical anisotropy index of the binder pitch coke reached 93%, and amount of β resin in binder pitch BP-KL reached 35.27%.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology (Ranliao Huaxue Xuebao) is a Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS) journal started in 1956, sponsored by the Chinese Chemical Society and the Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS). The journal is published bimonthly by Science Press in China and widely distributed in about 20 countries. Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology publishes reports of both basic and applied research in the chemistry and chemical engineering of many energy sources, including that involved in the nature, processing and utilization of coal, petroleum, oil shale, natural gas, biomass and synfuels, as well as related subjects of increasing interest such as C1 chemistry, pollutions control and new catalytic materials. Types of publications include original research articles, short communications, research notes and reviews. Both domestic and international contributors are welcome. Manuscripts written in Chinese or English will be accepted. Additional English titles, abstracts and key words should be included in Chinese manuscripts. All manuscripts are subject to critical review by the editorial committee, which is composed of about 10 foreign and 50 Chinese experts in fuel science. Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology has been a source of primary research work in fuel chemistry as a Chinese core scientific periodical.
