Method for producing mesophase pitch and binder pitch.

摘要

A method of producing a pitch or a coke, comprising reacting an aromatic hydrocarbon with anhydrous AlCl<Sub>3</Sub> and an acid salt fo an organic amine which acid salt reduces the activity of the AlCl<Sub>3</Sub>, and is miscible with the AlCl<Sub>3</Sub> to form a molten eutectic salt mixture reactive with the aromatic hydrocarbon.
