Definitions
- the present invention relates to mesophase pitch for use in the production of high-performance carbon fibers and other carbon materials.
- High-performance carbon fibers are commercially produced chiefly from PAN (polyacrylonitrile).
- PAN polyacrylonitrile
- PAN is expensive and does not show high yield in carbonization. It has recently been found that carbon fibers which have comparable or better characteristics than those prepared from PAN can be produced from inexpensive pitch, and active efforts are being made to commercialize this method.
- pitch there are two types of pitch that can be used as a starting material for the manufacture of carbon materials; isotropic pitch and anisotropic pitch.
- Carbon fibers produced from isotropic pitch are inexpensive but they suffer from the disadvantage of low strength due to poor molecular orientation. Therefore, high-performance carbon products cannot be produced from isotropic pitch.
- carbon fibers produced from anisotropic pitch called "mesophase pitch” have a higher degree of molecular orientation and exhibit improved mechanical properties in terms of strength and modulus of elasticity. Therefore, with a view to producing high-performance carbon fibers, extensive studies are being conducted on the production of mesophase pitch from catalytic cracked petroleum pitch, petroleum tar pitch or coal tar pitch.
- This oriented structure is maintained without being disturbed during the stage of subsequent "stabilization” in which the surface of fibers is oxidized by gradual heating under an air current and during the stage of "carbonization” in which the stabilized fibers are heat-treated in an inert gas atmosphere at temperatures not lower than 1,000°C. It has been confirmed by many experiments that this effect contributes to the production of highly oriented, high-performance carbon fibers.
- mesophase The portion of pitch which has an optically anisotropic phase (this portion is hereinafter referred to as "mesophase") is insoluble in polar solvents such as quinoline and pyridine and it has so far been considered that mesophase is identical to the component which is insoluble in polar solvents.
- polar solvents such as quinoline and pyridine
- mesophase is identical to the component which is insoluble in polar solvents.
- mesophase contains both components which are insoluble in polar solvents and components which are soluble in said solvents.
- mesophase means that portion of a phase which shows optical anisotropy when observed under a polarizing microscope, and the proportion taken by the area of this optically anisotropic phase under observation with a polarizing microscope shall be called “the content of mesophase”, or more simply “the mesophase content”.
- the mesophase content of pitch is preferably at least 90%, more preferably 100%.
- an increase in the mesophase content generally causes an increase in the softening point and viscosity of the pitch and renders it difficult to perform spinning with consistent results.
- the high softening point and viscosity necessitate spinning at elevated temperatures but then the pitch is prone to thermal decomposition or condensation, and the resulting gases and infusible high-molecular weight substances make it difficult to continue spinning operations for a prolonged time with consistent results.
- JP-A-136835/1983 shows a method in which isotropic pitch is heat-treated and the resulting mesophase is filtered off, with the remaining pitch being subjected to another heat treatment.
- US-A-4,533,461 shows a method in which pitch is heat-treated to adjust the mesophase content to be within the range of 20-80%, followed by precipitation and recovery of the mesophase.
- the mesophase content of mesophase pitch for use in the production of carbon materials has to be increased in order to provide high performance in such aspects as strength and modulus of elasticity.
- the mesophase content of the pitch must also be increased for the purpose of facilitating spinning operations in the production of carbon fibers. Additional requirements include high heat stability during spinning operations, high stabilization reactivity of the spun fibers and high yield in carbonization. In the case of producing carbon materials, the yield of the carbon material produced by carbonization of the pitch must also be high.
- the mesophase pitch for use in the production of carbon materials is required to satisfy the following conditions: (1) high mesophase content, (2) high heat stability during spinning operations, (3) high stabilization reactivity, and (4) high yield in carbonization.
- mesophase pitch having a reasonable degree of polymerization and in which high proportions of the total carbon atoms were occupied by methyl groups and aromatic ring structures exhibits excellent performance and satisfies the four requirements set forth above. It is thus suitable for use in the production of high-performance carbon products and can be spun into fibers in an easy and consistent way. Furthermore, the spun fibers can be efficiently stabilized with the added advantage of high yield in subsequent carbonization.
- the present invention has been accomplished on the basis of these findings.
- a mesophase pitch for use in the production of carbon materials said pitch having an average molecular weight of at least 1,000 and a hydrogen-to-carbon atomic ratio of 0.5 - 1.0 with an aromatic carbon ratio (fa) being at least 0.7, a methylic carbon content of at least 4% of the total carbon atoms, a naphthenic (i.e. cycloparaffinic) carbon content of less than 7% of the total carbon atoms and at least 90% of an optically anisotropic phase.
- mesophase pitch from a condensed polycyclic hydrocarbon that contained naphthenic (i.e. cycloparaffinic) carbon in an amount of at least 7% of the total carbon atoms. Since this pitch satisfied the four requirements described above, the inventors filed a patent application on it, which is now US-A-4,891,126. As a result of their continued studies on mesophase pitch, the present inventors found that when napthalene derivatives such as methylnaphthalene having at least one methyl group were polymerized, mesophase pitch that contained less than 7% napthenic carbon atoms and which yet exhibited high performance could be produced if the methylic carbon content is at least 4% of the total carbon atoms. In particular, this mesophase pitch has a higher stabilization reactivity than that described in US-A-4,891,126.
- the average molecular weight of the mesophase pitch of the present invention is measured with a vapor pressure osmometer using chloroform as a solvent.
- the solvent-soluble portion of the pitch dissolves in chloroform and its molecular weight is measured with a vapor pressure osmometer.
- the insoluble portion is made soluble by performing a hydrogenation reaction under mild conditions using metallic lithium and ethylenediamine, and its molecular weight is measured with the same vapor presure osmometer. The results of the two measurements are used to determine the average molecular weight of the mesophase pitch.
- the mesophase pitch of the present invention has an average molecular weight of at least 1,000, preferably 1,000 - 1,700, as measured by the above-described method. If the average molecular weight is less than about 1,000, the degree of polymerization that can be achieved is too low to produce pitch having high mesophase content.
- the carbon and hydrogen contents of the mesophase pitch of the present invention are measured with an automatic analyzer (CHN coder) utilizing a detection technique that measures the thermal conductivity of combustion gases.
- the aromatic carbon ratio (fa) is measured by an IR absorption technique and the methylic carbon content by NMR.
- the hydrogen to carbon atomic ratio of the mesophase pitch for use in the production of carbon materials of the present invention is in the range of from 0.5 to 1.0, preferably from 0.6 to 1.0. If the atomic ratio of hydrogen to carbon is less than about 0.5, the resulting pitch suffers the problem of excessive dehydrogenation compared to polymerization and its softening point is so much increased as to render subsequent spinning and other processing operations difficult. If the hydrogen to carbon atomic ratio is higher than about 1.0, the resulting pitch has a low degree of orientation on account of insufficient degree of polymerization, and this makes it impossible to obtain carbon fibers or other carbon materials having desired performance in such aspects as strength and modulus of elasticity.
- the aromatic carbon ratio (fa) is the ratio of the number of carbon atoms in aromatic ring structures to the total number of carbon atoms present.
- the pitch of the present invention has an fa of at least 0.7, preferably between 0.75 and 0.87. If the value of fa is less than about 0.7, the molecules that constitute a mesophase do not have a high degree of planar structure and it is difficult to achieve consistent production of pitch having a high content of an optically anisotropic phase.
- the methylic carbon content of the pitch of the present invention is at least 4%, preferably at least 5%, of the total carbon atoms present. If the methylic carbon content is less than about 4%, the stabilization reactivity is so low that it takes an unduly long time to complete the stabilizing treatment, with the increased chance of fusion occurring between stabilized fibers.
- the optically anisotropic phase (mesophase) of the pitch of the present invention is measured with a polarizing microscope.
- the pitch of the present invention has a mesophase content of at least 90%, preferably at least 95%. More preferably, substantially all of the pitch is composed of a mesophase. If the pitch has a mesophase content of less than about 90%, carbon fibers or other carbon materials that are formed of it will have only low performance in such aspects as strength and modulus of elasticity. From the spinning viewpoint, too, the mesophase content must be at least about 90%.
- the mesophase pitch of the present invention can be produced by polymerizing naphthalene derivatives having at least one methyl group in the presence of hydrogen fluoride and boron trifluoride.
- Illustrative naphthalene derivatives that can be used as the starting material include methylnaphthalene, dimethylnaphthalene and mixtures thereof. Materials containing these naphthalene derivatives are also usable and they include various petroleum fractions, the residual oil originating from petroleum processing steps, and coal tar fractions.
- a hydrogen fluoride/boron trifluoride catalyst is used as a catalyst for polymerizing these naphthalene derivatives.
- particularly suitable starting materials are those which have low contents of nitrogen-, sulfur- and oxygen-containing compounds, all being basic compounds that strongly bind to the hydrogen fluoride/boron trifluoride catalyst.
- the polymerization catalyst is preferably used in such an amount that from 0.1 to 20 moles of hydrogen fluoride and from 0.05 to 1.0 mole of boron trifluoride are present per mole of the naphthalene derivative. Even if more than 20 moles of hydrogen fluoride or more than 1.0 mole of boron trifluoride is used, there will be no corresponding increase in the rate of reaction.
- Hydrogen fluoride when used together with boron trifluoride (BF3), forms a strong protic acid, which reacts with the basic naphthalene derivative to form a complex.
- the temperature for obtaining the desired mesophase by polymerization reaction ranges from 180 to 400°C, preferably from 250 to 320°C. If the temperature is higher than about 400°C, polymerization proceeds excessively and the resulting pitch will have an unduly high softening point. If the temperature is lower than about 180°C, mesophase pitch having a mesophase content of at least 90% is not attainable.
- the time required to complete the polymerization reaction varies with the type of starting material used, the temperature and the amount of catalyst used, but it is typically within the range of from 5 to 300 minutes, preferably from 30 to 240 minutes.
- the pressure for the polymerization reaction generally ranges from about 5 to about 100 bar, preferably from about 20 to about 50 bar.
- the polymerization reaction is performed by mixing under agitation the starting material and the catalyst fed into a corrosion-resistant reactor equipped with a stirrer.
- the procedures of reaction may be batchwise or continuous.
- naphthalene derivative (Nd) fed as the starting material forms a complex when mixed with the catalyst and undergoes rapid polymerization to form a polymer in complex form according to the following scheme: HF + BF3 + (Nd) n ⁇ H+(Nd) n BF4 ⁇
- the resulting polymer in complex form is in equilibrium as shown by equation (1), so after completion of the polymerization the volatile components, HF and BF3, are distilled off at the polymerization temperature and recovered as catalyst components. At the same time, some volatile fractions are recovered and the polymerized pitch is separated.
- Catalyst separation by a batch system consists of holding the polymerization temperature after the polymerization reaction has been completed, and withdrawing HF and BF3 as a vapor phase from the reactor, with the polymer recovered as molten pitch.
- the heating effected for this purpose may be indirect (external heating through a jacket, etc.) or direct (by introducing the heated vapor of a diluent such as benzene, toluene or halogenated hydrocarbon which are comparatively inert to the catalyst).
- Catalyst separation may also be performed by a continuous method in a distillation column, with the inert diluent being refluxed, which is continuously supplied with the polymerization reaction solution so as to extract the HF and BF3 vapors from the top of the column, with the pitch being recovered from the bottom of the column in the form of a solution in the diluent.
- the temperature necessary for recovering the catalyst is the same as the temperature for polymerization, whereas the pressure for the catalyst recovery is generally within the range of from about 0 to about 30 atmospheres, preferably from about 1 to about 5 atmospheres.
- the pitch obtained by the procedure described above is characterized by high mesophase content and the presence of many carbon atoms in aromatic ring structures as well as in methyl groups.
- This pitch also has a low softening point which is in the range of 200-250°C as measured by a micromelting point method.
- the pitch described above is mesophase pitch which is substantially free of HF and BF3 and which has an anisotropic phase of at least about 90%. It can be used as a starting material for the production of carbon fibers and other carbon materials without being subjected to any special treatment.
- this mesophase pitch can be readily spun into fibers at a spinning temperature of from about 280 to about 340°C.
- the spun pitch fibers have such a high stabilization reactivity that they can be satisfactorily stabilized by heating up to a temperature of about 300°C at a rate of about 7°C/min under an air current. This ease of stabilization can be ascribed to the high content of methyl-derived carbon atoms in the pitch.
- Carbon fibers may be produced from the pitch of the present invention by the following procedures: the pitch is first extruded through a nozzle (ca. 0.25 ⁇ m) in a nitrogen atmosphere at a pressure of from about 1 to about 3 bar and at a temperature of from about 280 to about 340°C and the filaments are wound up on a roll at a take-up speed of, say, about 500 m/min; then, the filaments are stabilized by heating from ambient temperature to a temperature between about 200 and about 350°C at a typical rate of from about 1 to about 7°C/min under an air current; finally, the stabilized fibers are carbonized or graphitized by heating to about 1,000°C or above at a typical rate of about 10°C/min in an inert gas stream such as nitrogen.
- the mesophase pitch of the present invention has the following advantages.

Thereafter, the release valve on the autoclave was opened so that substantially all of the HF and BF3 charged could be recovered in a gaseous form at an atmospheric pressure. Thereafter, nitrogen was blown into the autoclave to remove the low-boiling point components. The yield of the pitch obtained was 76% of the weight of the ⁇ -methylnaphthalene supplied.
