Description

The industrial production of Coal Tar Pitch consists of the Fractional Distillation of the Coal Tar at a Temperature around 400 °C. By this method, the Coal Tar yields a series of liquid fractions suitable for different industrial applications and a Residue which is solid at Room Temperature, called Coal-Tar Pitch. Coal Tar Pitch consists of a complex mixture of numerous Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), their Methyl and Polymethyl derivatives, and Heterocyclics. The Hydrogen (H2) Aromaticity of Coal Tar Pitch (ratio of Aromatic to total content of H2 Atoms) varies from 0.7 to 0.9. is the preferred material for use as a Binder in the manufacture of Carbon and Graphite Electrodes.
