Abstract

Refined pitches were obtained by distillation and solvent extraction with raw materials of the high temperature coal tar and medium-temperature pitch, respectively. Modified pitches were achieved by air oxidation treatment of refined pitches. Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES) was used to determine metallic elements of raw material and the prepared pitches. The results show that both the coal tar and medium-temperature pitch have metallic elements as follow: Ge, Pb, Ba, Mg, Ce, Cd, Na, Sn, Zn, Ni, Bi, Nb, Be, Cr, Ca, V, In, Ti, Sr, Si, Cu, Al, Fe and Mn, among which the abundance of Pb, Mg, Zn, Ni, Cr, Ca, Si, Cu, Al, Fe, and Mn were relatively larger. The content of Pb, Cu, Mn, Zn, Cr, Ni and Mg of coal tar were larger than those of the medium-temperature pitch, while the content of Ca, Al and Fe were opposite. The content of all metallic elements decreased during the process of solvent extraction, while increased during the modification of refined pitch. Compared with the refined pitch prepared by solvent extraction, the content of metallic elements in coal tar refined pitch were higher. With the treatment of air oxidation, the metallic elements in modified medium-temperature pitch and modified coal tar pitch were similar except Zn. Obviously, the modified coal tar pitch has a larger content of Zn.
