PROCESS FOR PRODUCING NEEDLE COKE FOR GRAPHITE ELECTRODE AND STOCK OIL COMPOSITION FOR USE IN THE PROCESS

摘要

The invention provides a stock oil composition for needle coke for a graphite electrode, the stock oil composition having a 10 vol% distillation temperature of 280°C or higher as the distillation property, and when separated into the aromatic component and non-aromatic component by elution chromatography, having an aromatic component content of 30-80 wt% with respect to the total weight of the crude oil composition and an aromatic component molecular weight of 255-1300, as well as a non-aromatic component normal paraffin content of at least 5 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the aromatic component.
