The high softening point and mosaic optical textures of coal tar pitch (CTP)-derived
mesophase pitches are the main factors limiting their application in high performance …

Clean liquid fuel was produced from the catalytic hydrogenation of coal tar using two serial
fixed beds. Hydrofining catalyst of MoNi/γ-Al2O3 and hydrocracking catalyst of WNiP/γ …

The toluene soluble of coal tar pitch was carbonized with waste polystyrene. The properties
of mesophase pitches were characterized using polarized light optical microscope, apparent …

The heavy fraction (PA) and the medium fraction (PB) of coal tar pitch (CTP) were
independently hydrogenated by tetrahydronaphthalene (THN) and then blended with the …

Spinnable mesophase pitch precursor containing more than 98% mesophase content was
successfully prepared from FCC-DO (fluid catalytic cracking-decant oil) without …

Two feedstocks (LPA and HPA) obtained from modification of naphthenic vacuum residues
were selected to prepare mesophase pitch by direct thermal treatment. The influence of …

Coal-tar pitch is modified with p-methyl benzaldehyde (PMB) in the presence of p-toluene
sulfonic acid (PTS). The main characteristics of the modified pitches such as coking value …

Petroleum pitch was modified by waste styrene-butadiene-styrene copolymer (SBS) and the
cokes were obtained via the co-carbonization method. The waste SBS content and the co …

Two modified pitches with softening points of 70° C (LPA) and 110° C (HPA) produced from
modification of naphthenic vacuum residue were cocarbonized with polystyrene (PS) …

The aim of this work is to study melioration in mesophase formation behaviour by
deasphalting of petroleum residues. Pitches prepared from VRs have undesirable high …
