Definitions
- Satisfactory carbon fibers have also been made from molten decomposition products of synthetic polymeric materials such as polyvinylchloride, polyvinyl acetate, and from fusible carbon-yielding materials like blown asphalt and petroleum pitch.
- the fusible material is spun into fibers, oxidized and carbonized to yield carbon fibers possessing strengths of over 100,000 p.s.i.
- coal tar pitch however, these measures have failed and the art does not provide any successful method for the satisfactory spinning of pitches of coal tar origin and for their subsequent conversion into useful carbon fibers having properties comparable to those possessed by carbon fibers from other raw materials.
- the pitch filament is oxidized in one or more stages in an oxidizing medium and then carbonized at a temperature in the vicinity of 1000 C. in an inert atmosphere. If desired, the resulting carbon filament may be graphitized by heating in an inert atmosphere at elevated temperatures.
- a critical operation in the transformation process of the invention is the removal of the quinoline insolubles from the coal tar pitch selected.
- Quinoline insolubles represent material which is not soluble in the pitch at spinning temperature or, in other words, Which forms an undesirable second phase. This removal is generally done before heat treating and distilling the pitch. This sequence of operations however is not binding, especially when a pitch of low quinoline insoluble content is employed.
- the pitch may be diluted in an appropriate solvent, filtered or centrifuged and recovered.
- the solvents usable for this purpose are generally speaking any aromatic liquid having a boiling point or range between about 200 and 400 C., provided that the major liquifiable portion of the coal tar pitch is soluble in it.
- Said liquid should also be removed from the filtered pitch solution at temperatures preferably not exceeding 300 C., either at atmospheric pressure or under reduced pressure.
- examples of usable liquids which fit these specifications are light creosote oil, anthracene oil, phenanthrene, quinoline, highly aromatic petroleum fractions and the like.
- the dilution of the pitch and the subsequent filtration can be carried out at any temperature within a range g0- ing from the softening point of the pitch to about 300 C. Proportions of solvent to pitch vary with the viscosity of the substance at the temperatures selected. In general, a dilution of 1:1 at a temperature of about 200 C. has been found convenient.
- the diluted pitch is then filtered to remove the undissolved material. This may be accomplished in a number of manners with known equipment, provided of course that the foraminous member of this equipment can withstand the filtration conditions. Fritted glass and porous stainless steel septums having openings of about 10 microns in average diameter are satisfactory.
- the filtration process may be facilitated and improved in a conventional manner by additions of known filter aids to the pitch liquid.
- the number of actual filtrations and their timing may vary according to several factors such as viscosity of the pitch liquid, amount and nature of undissolved solids, temperature, pressure and the like.
- at least one filtration is required for the purpose of this invention and that it may be carried out on a liquid solvent diluted or undiluted pitch at any stage before the actual passage of the pitch through the filament-forming spinneret.
- the solvent is removed by evaporation preferably under reduced pressure at about 150 C., in any event, at a temperature not exceeding 300 C.
- the separation of the undesirable second phase may be accomplished by centrifugation rather than filtration, although the latter technique is preferred in most instances.
- the coal tar pitch to be used for spinning filaments is heat treated and distilled to improve its molecular weight range. Either or both of these treatments may be carried out, as indicated earlier, before, after or between filtrations.
- the pitch is distilled at a temperature within the range of about 280 to 305 C. to remove its lower molecular weight components. This may be accomplished by any conventional method including distillation under reumbled pressure, steam distillation and so on, using any conventional equipment such as a molecular still and the like, provided the temperature limits are respected.
- the pitch is heat soaked at similar temperatures for a period of about 10 to 100 hours or more under pressures which may range from less than one atmosphere to more than one atmosphere.
- the heat treated coal tar pitch prepared in the manner described is then spun into a continuous filament through a nozzle or spinneret with an internal diameter appropriate for the thickness of filament required.
- the pitch is melted at a temperature between its melting point and about 300 C. and the melt is extruded through the spinnerets orifice by sufiicient nitrogen pressure to achieve a satisfactory rate or by other conventional means such as a metering pump, a piston and the like.
- the actual pressure and temperature used depend on the properties of the heat treated pitch used as well as upon each other. In this respect, it has been found that a pitch of the type prescribed by this invention can be spun satisfactorily under a driving N pressure of about 80 p.s.i.
- Extrusion of the filament at high temperature initiates an oxidation process which may be intensified by passing the filament through an oxidizing atmosphere for a length of time sufficient to create the infusibility required by the subsequent carbonization treatment.
- Suitable oxidizing media for this purpose include air; ozone in air; oxygen blended with air, flue gases or inert gases; vapors or mists of nitroaromatic compounds such as nitrobenzene, nitrophenol, alpha-nitronaphthalene, nitrotoluene, nitrochlorobenzene and the like; oxidizing gases such as sulfur dioxide, sulfur trioxide, nitric oxide and the like.
- the filament may be cooled to a temperature below its fusing point and then passed through liquid oxi dizing baths of the above mentioned nitroaromatics or of other oxidizing liquids such as nitric acid, sulfuric acid, chromic acid, permanganate solutions and the like.
- the temperature at any time during the oxidation treatment should preferably be not higher than 10 C. below the softening point of the pitch at the given time.
- This batch type oxidation is best carried out in a circulating oven through which passes a constant flow of air or oxygen containing gas, both fresh and recycled, pre-heated at the desired temperature.
- the oxidized filament may then be cooled to room temperature or subjected immediately to carbonization. If cooling is elected, it should be gradual, the to 100 C. step being accomplished at about the same rate as the reverse step previously carried out, with the last 100 to room temperature adjustment taking about three hours.
- the 100 to 500 C. temperature range is the most critical in the carbonization process, special care need be exerted in controlling the heating rate through that range.
- the top carbonization temperature it must be noted that useful carbon fibers may be produced from 700 C. for amorphous carbon filaments to as high as 2800+ C. if graphitic filaments are desired. Heating rates and holding times are no longer critical about 1100 C.
- a graphite filament may be conveniently prepared by heating a carbon filament for about one hour in argon at above 1500 C.
- Carbon filaments (1100 C.) of conventional textile lengths may be produced from coal tar pitch by the method just described, having a tensile strength of 80,000 to 130,000 p.s.i., a modulus of elasticity within the range of 4.5 to 5.2)(10 p.s.i., a volume resistivity in ohm-inch of 1200 to 1600 and an apparent density of about 1.65
- Such filaments are eminently suited as substrate in vapor phase depositions such as manufacture of boron filaments, heat resistant reinforcement in fiber-matrix composites, as well as in other similar applications where filamentary carbon is conventionally and advantageously employed.
- the modified coal tar pitch just described was spun through a spinneret having an orifice of 1.5 mm. in length and a diameter of 0.3 mm.
- the molten pitch at 287 C. was driven through the spinnert by a nitrogen pressure of 110 psi.
- the resulting pitch filament had a final diameter of about 30 microns, when stretched and taken up on a paper cylinder at the rate of 256 meters per minute.
- the wound filament paper packages were then hung on graphite supports in an oven through which fresh and recycled air in a ratio of about 1:1 was constantly circulated while the temperature was raised and lowered in 100 to 40 C. 2.0
- the total residence in the oxidizing oven was thus 178.25 hours.
- the carbon monofilament had an average diameter of 25 microns and, as measured on 0.125 inch long samples, a volume resistivity of 1419 ,uohm-inch with a variation of 15.0%.
