The invention provides a preparation method of low-ash high-property
mesophase pitch. The method comprises the steps that the
raw material coal tar is purified, a fraction is put into a reaction kettle, temperature
programming and heat preservation are conducted in sequence, and purified
coal tar pitch is obtained. The purified
coal tar pitch and a co-
carbonization agent are mixed, the mixture is added into a
high pressure reactor, under certain pressure condition, the temperature is increased to a certain temperature, then heat preservation is conducted, and the
mesophase pitch is obtained. According to the method, a series of physical methods such as gravity settlement
centrifugation and circulating
filtration are adopted to purify the
coal tar, the very good effect of removing ash impurities is achieved,
quinoline insoluble matter formed by
mesophase is especially hindered, the content of the mesophase pitch ash is lower than 50 ppm, the content of mesophase reaches up to 100%, and
carbon fibers with excellent properties can be prepared continuously; meanwhile, by mixing the pitch with the co-
carbonization agent, the rheological property of the mesophase pitch is improved. Compared with a
coal tar pitch purification process, the
coal tar purification technology is simple, the cost is low, and the high-purity purified coal tar pitch can be obtained through preparation, so that the low-ash high-property mesophase pitch is obtained.
