The invention discloses a preparation method of intermediate carbon microspheres, which comprises the following steps of: preparing precursor
asphalt by taking naphthenic base
aromatic hydrocarbon-rich heavy oil as a
raw material and adopting a low-temperature thermal polycondensation process; the preparation method comprises the following steps: carrying out
fluidized bed hydrotreatment on precursor
asphalt under proper
reaction conditions by matching with a proper
isomerization functional catalyst and a
molecular sieve catalyst to obtain refined
aromatic hydrocarbon-rich distillate oil with a boiling range of more than 400 DEG C, and taking the refined
aromatic hydrocarbon-rich distillate oil as a
raw material; the preparation method comprises the following steps: carrying out a catalytic
polycondensation reaction under the dual catalytic action of a heteropolyacid aluminum salt catalyst and a heteropolyacid
ferric salt catalyst to obtain intermediate
pitch, extracting the intermediate
pitch through an extraction
solvent, removing
isotropic pitch components to obtain green carbon microspheres, and finally carrying out
carbonization treatment on the green carbon microspheres to obtain the mesocarbon microbeads. The invention provides a brand new aromatic
hydrocarbon-rich
raw material refining treatment process through technical
coupling, has the advantages of wide raw material application range and high production efficiency, and opens up a new path for low cost and high quality of mesocarbon microbeads.
