Production and uses of carbon products from mixtures of condensed aromatics

  • Chapter
Industrial Aromatic Chemistry

Abstract

Aromatic residue fractions produced in coal tar refining, naphtha pyrolysis and thermal as well as catalytic cracking (see Chapter 3) are suitable feedstocks for the manufacture of carbon products, especially because of their high C/H ratio. Graphitic carbon products include synthetic graphite and graphitic carbon fibers which are distinguished by both the anisotropy in the structure of the carbon lattice, and a lattice plane distance which is very close to the theoretical value for graphite. In addition, carbon products with a high proportion of isotropic regions are used on a large scale, especially for the manufacture of anodes for the aluminum industry.
