Carbon Foam Production from a Thermo- Chemically Modified Commercial Coal Tar Pitch

چکیده
Introduction The unique properties of carbon foam mainly depend on the precursor features and synthesis conditions. For the highly thermal and electrical conductive carbon foam, an anisotropic pitch precursor is required [1, 2]. A lot of factors influence the foaming process, but temperature and pressure are the most critical aspects [3]. The aim of the present investigations is to adjust by appropriate modification the composition and properties of commercial coal tar pitch for carbon foam formation. The subject of this study is developing of carbon foam samples from modified coal tar pitches using simple process without stabilization step.

Carbon foams as catalyst supports for phenol photodegradation.
A carbon foam using coal tar pitch as precursor was prepared and investigated as support for titanium oxide for the photocatalytic degradation of phenol. The performance of the carbon foam/titania composite was compared to those of unsupported titania and other activated carbon composites from the literature. The photodegradation rate of phenol over the catalysts under UV illumination was fitte...
متن کاملProduction of Mesophase Pitch from Coal Tar and Petroleum Pitches using Supercritical Fluid Extraction
Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is currently being investigated as a possible technique in the production of high quality mesophase pitch from coal tar and petroleum pitches. Mesophase pitch is used to make high technology products, such as carbon fibre. The conventional production of mesophase pitch initially involves the removal of low molecular weight species from coal tar and petroleum...
متن کاملActivated carbons prepared from thermally and chemically treated petroleum and coal tar pitches
Petroleum and coal tar pitches have been treated thermally at 4008C and 4708C, extracted with toluene and subsequently activated with CO at 9008C. With one exception, the development of the micropore widths and volumes in the resulting 2 carbons follows the trend observed for carbons based essentially on precursors of vegetable origin. On the other hand, petroleum pitch treated at 4008C leads t...

Poly(carbosilane) or PCS, {–CH2–SiH(CH3)–}n, is used as a Si-bearing precursor in combination with a coal tar pitch to study thermally induced transformations toward SiC-modified carbon composites. Following mixing of the components in the molten pitch at 160oC, the mixture is heated under argon atmosphere at 500oC yielding a solid carbonizate that is further subjected to separate pyrolysis exp...
متن کاملHygienic characteristics of carbon black used in tyre production.
Seven types of carbon black used in type production were subjected to hygienic evaluation. The coal tar pitch volatiles (CTPVs), toluene solubles, were determined by the gravimetric method and benzo/a/pyrene by HPLC with a spectrophotometric detector. Toluene solubles were found to amount to 0.12-0.25% (by weight). Benzo/a/pyrene (1.44-3.07 ppm) was detected in five out of the seven carbon blac...
