Definitions
- the present invention relates to a procedure for producing petroleum pitches of the type termed commercially as " binding” or “ impregnating” , to the pitch so obtained and to its use in the fabrication of anodes for the Aluminium industry, electrographites for steel production, and also the conforming, agglomeration and impregnation of carbon compounds and ceramic (refractory) materials, and in the production of general purpose carbon fibres.
- the pitches that constitute the purpose of the present invention are produced from petroleum fractions and residues and have the advantage, when compared to those presently in use and obtained from the distillation of coal tar, of being much less toxic and less polluting in terms of poly-aromatic hydrocarbons (benzo(a)pyrene, crysene, dibenzo-anthracene, etc.).
- the materials employed for binding or impregnating must fulfil different characteristics among which are:
- the petroleum pitches obtained according to the procedure claimed herein have the exceptional virtue of being environmentally clean: they produce practically no polluting gaseous emissions, like carcinogenic polyaromatics of the benzo(a)pyrene, crysene, dibenzoanthracene, etc. types.
- the objective of this invention is to define the process and operating conditions in order that through the heat treatment of petroleum fractions or residues selected for this purpose, they evolve; and by combining cracking, dehydrogenation and polymerisation reactions it is possible to obtain a petroleum pitch with suitable properties to be used for binding or impregnating in the production of anodes for the production of Aluminium, electrographites for producing steel, in the manufacture of whatever composition or conglomerate of a carbonaceous nature and in the production of carbon fibres.
- this petroleum pitch is environmentally " cleaner" than that of coal tar.
- the equivalent content in benzo(a)pyrene is below 4000 ppm; the emission of PAHs in gases being less than 6 mg/m 3 . In both cases these contents imply a reduction of 85-95% in comparison with those encountered in coal tar pitches.
- the present invention provides a procedure for obtaining non-polluting petroleum pitches, of the binding or impregnating type, said procedure comprising the subjecting of a petroleum fraction or residue to a heat treatment at temperatures lying between 350° and 470° C, preferably between 370° and 430° C, for a time less than 120 minutes, preferably less than 60 minutes and under a pressure under 20 atmospheres absolute, preferably under 10 atmospheres absolute.
- the input material for producing petroleum pitches according to the invention includes industrial petroleum residues, such as atmospheric petroleum residues, residues obtained under reduced pressure conditions, or heavy petroleum oils coming from thermal or catalytic cracking of petroleum-derived products.
- the feed selected is held in a tank (A) at between 100° and 150° C, is extracted by pump (B) and heated in an oven (C) up to a minimum temperature of 300° C without undergoing any change in chemical composition.
- a flash distillation column (D) in order to remove the light distillates and then to a stirred reaction chamber (E), or else directly without passing through the distillation column (D), to the said stirred reaction chamber.
- the distillates are sent to a fractioning column (F) in order to be used later.
- the reaction chamber (E) the product is treated thermally with the provision of external heat in order maintain the temperature constant. This temperature shall be maintained between 350° and 470° C, preferably between 370° and 430° C, for a dwelling time less than 120 minutes, preferably less than 60 minutes and under a pressure under 20 atmospheres absolute, and preferably under 10 atmospheres absolute.
- the product so obtained proves to be a highly aromatic pitch, with anisotropy contents variable in the range 0-70% (measured as a mesophase percentage observed in a polarised light optical microscope over a total of 5000 points), at the will of the producer, and insoluble in Toluene and Quinoline within the range 0-50% and 0-30% respectively, also at the will of the producer, through the control of the variables in this new process.
- These new petroleum pitches can replace those currently being used by manufacturers of electrodes, electrographites and carbon compositions with no need to alter any stage of their productive system since they adapt to the latter and satisfy the specifications set by the user in each case. Likewise they can be used as agglomerating agent in refractory products and a base material for producing general purpose carbon fibre.
- the present invention provides a highly aromatic petroleum pitch, which has the following properties:
- the present invention provides for the use of highly aromatic petroleum pitches which have the properties aforementioned and obtained by the procedure described above, in the manufacture of anodes, in particular anodes for the aluminium industry, electrographites for steel production, as well as in the conforming, agglomerating and impregnating of carbon compositions and graphitic materials and in the fabrication of carbon fibres.
- the resulting product termed petroleum pitch, has the following properties: Matter insoluble in Toluene(% by weight) 31.2 Matter insoluble in Quinoline(% by weight) 13.1 Viscosity at 177° C (cP) 1210 Viscosity at 240° C (cP) 280 Ring and Ball (°C) 118 Sulphur (% by weight) 2.2 Fixed carbon yield (% by weight) 57
- this petroleum pitch is environmentally " cleaner" than that of coal tar since its content in PAHs measured as equivalent benzo(a)pyrene is 3600 ppm with a PAH emission in gases of 6 mg/m 3 . In both cases these contents imply a reduction of 85-95% in comparison with the figures corresponding coal tar pitches presently in use.
- This petroleum pitch can replace those in use by manufacturers of electrodes, electrographites and carbon compositions without any requirement to alter any stage in their productive system since they adapt to the latter and satisfy the specifications set by the user in each case.
- the resulting product termed petroleum pitch, has the properties indicated in Table II, column A: Example 2 3 Column A B Matter insoluble in Toluene(% by weight) 27.6 22.01 Matter insoluble in Quinoline(% by weight) ⁇ 0.1 ⁇ 0.1 Viscosity at 177° C (cP) 7500 474 Viscosity at 204° C (cP) 1150 119 Ring and Ball (°C) 149 100 Sulphur (% by weight) ⁇ 0.1 ⁇ 0.1 Carbon yield (% by weight) 59 51 Commercial equivalent " binding " " impregnating "
- This petroleum pitch is environmentally " cleaner” than those of coal tar for its low Sulphur content (less than 0.1% by weight) and the low PAH concentration (measured as equivalent benzo(a)pyrene) present in it (3290 ppm) and its low PAH emission in gases of (5 mg/m 3 ), but in addition it can replace the pitches presently in use by manufacturers of electrodes, electrographites and carbon compositions without any requirement to alter any stage in their productive system since they adapt to the latter and satisfy the specifications set by the user in each case, with the advantage of having, with respect to coal tar pitches, 85-95% less PAHs expressed as equivalent benzo(a)pyrene.
- the resulting product termed petroleum pitch, has the properties indicated in Table II, column B.
- This petroleum pitch is " cleaner" than those of coal tar for its low Sulphur content (less than 0.1% by weight) and the low equivalent benzo(a)pyrene concentration present in the pitch (1820 ppm) and PAH emission in gases (4 mg/m 3 ), but in addition it proves to be a product which can replace the pitches presently in use by manufacturers of electrodes, electrographites and carbon compositions without any requirement to alter any stage in their productive system since they adapt to the latter and satisfy the specifications set by the user in each case, with the advantage of having, with respect to coal tar pitches, 85-95% less PAHs expressed as equivalent benzo(a)pyrene.
- This petroleum pitch is " cleaner” than those of coal tar for its low Sulphur content (less than 0.1% by weight) and the low concentration of PAHs measured as equivalent benzo(a)pyrene present in the pitch (2250 ppm) and PAH emissions in gases (4 mg/m 3 ).
- This pitch has an important facility for extrusion, producing mono-filaments in a continuous and highly uniform manner.
- a coal tar in order to alter determined properties of the pitches, for example the wettability, can be added to the petroleum residue or fraction before subjecting the latter to the heat treatment, said coal tar being in amounts lying between 10 and 90% by weight and preferably between 30 and 70%.
