Pyrolysis of 34 Chinese coals is studied in a TGA coupled with a mass spectrometer. The
mass loss registered in TGA during temperature programmed heating is attributed mainly to …

The high softening point and mosaic optical textures of coal tar pitch (CTP)-derived
mesophase pitches are the main factors limiting their application in high performance …

Resin is one of the key components of fluid catalytic cracking slurry oil which is the raw
material to form high-quality mesophase pitch. The effect of resin variations on the formation …

Refined coal tar pitch (RCTP) without pre-hydrogenation modification usually needs thermal
sedimentation or centrifugation to obtain 100% coal-based mesophase pitch (CMP) after …

The cost‐effective synthesis of high‐performance hard carbons (HCs) is a key step of
sodium‐ion batteries toward practical applications. Considering the rich resource of low …

The effect of 10% addition of various polymers to coal-tar pitch on its conversion into
mesophase during isothermal treatment at 450° C has been studied using polarized light …

Naphthenic-based petroleum pitch was divided into three components, including heptane-
soluble (HS), heptane-insoluble/toluene-soluble (HITS) and toluene-insoluble (TI), by …

A commercial lignite gasification-derived middle-temperature coal tar (MTCT) was subjected
to acid–base extraction to obtain acidic, basic, and neutral fractions. The neutral fraction was …

Using, as starting materials, fluid catalytic cracking decant oil (FDO), rich in short-chain alkyl
groups, and synthetic naphthalene pitch (NP), with stable naphthenic structures, the …

The use of chromatography in studies of coals, their progenitors and coal-related products
was reviewed. The specificity of the coal structure was discussed. The use of extraction in …
