The refined raw material was first prepared from the low-medium temperature coal tar
through hydrogenationfor 1.5 h under 330–390° C and 8MPa, with a catalyst/oil mass ratioof …

Five asphaltene samples from three different source types–immature source rock (ISA),
petroleum (PA), and coal (CDA)–are studied using integrated chemical and spectroscopic …

To explore the effect of n-heptane soluble (HS) content in refined coal tar pitch (RCTP) on
the preparation of needle coke (NC), a series of RCTP with different HS content were …

To meet the increasing demand for graphitizable carbon products, such as needle coke and
carbon fiber, more carbon feedstocks capable of forming anisotropy should be utilized. Non …

The utilization of fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) slurry oil is a wide concern in modern
refineries because of its poor processability. The present study used FCC slurry oil (SLO) as …
