Comprehensive Characterization of the Molecular Structure and Properties of Pitch-like Products from Coal Dissolution at Mild Temperature Using Heavy Solvents of Coal and Petroleum Origin
2025
Overview
The chemical composition and molecular structure of the pitch-like products obtained by liquid-phase reaction of bituminous coal with heavy hydrocarbon fractions of coal and petroleum origin as solvents at a moderate temperature were comprehensively characterized in terms of a new aromatic feedstock for needle coke and other valuable high-tech carbon materials. The molecular parameters of the products were characterized by using FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and XPS. Liquid-phase chromatography was used to analyze benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) as a carcinogenicity marker. The chemical composition and the characteristics of the molecular structure of the products were shown to depend greatly on the solvent used. The product obtained using coal tar as a solvent was highly aromatic, its polyaromatic nuclei consisted predominantly of protonated and pericondensed cycles sparsely substituted by CH3 and occasionally CH2 groups. The product obtained using petroleum-derived heavy gas oil as solvent was much less aromatic and prone to autogenous surface oxidation. Its aromatic nuclei contained mainly protonated and highly alkylated catacondensed chains. The intermediate structural parameters were characteristic of the product obtained using binary solvent. A remarkable feature of the pitch-like products obtained was a reduced BaP concentration (up to 40 times compared to typical coal-tar pitch). In terms of the molecular structure, the pitch-like products obtained by low-temperature dissolution of coal can serve as a new polyaromatic feedstock with a reduced carcinogenicity for the production of valuable high-tech carbon materials, needle coke, in particular.
