Method of preparing electrode pitches

摘要

A method for the preparation of electrode pitch which includes mixing a highly aromatic residual fraction from petroleum raw materials with a coal tar pitch in a weight ratio of from 1:9 to 9:1 and heating the mixture at a temperature of above 350 DEG C. until a pitch is produced with a softening point above 60 DEG C., an insolubility in anthracene oil and toluene is over 30 percent and a coking value of at least 50 corresponding to binder pitch for the production of carbon, graphite electrodes and refractory material.
