The method of the present invention provides a Method of preparing a spinnable 
mesophase and carbon 
fiber by using 
coal to directly liquefy residue-based 
asphalt vinyl material. According to the invention, the residue-based 
asphalt vinyl material which is subjected to direct 
coal liquefaction as a 
raw material, and the method comprises the following steps: 
grinding the 
asphalt vinyl material, and then placing in a high temperature tube type furnace or a 
high pressure reaction kettle under the 
inert gas protection, and preparing under the temperature of 200-500 DEG C and the pressure of 0.1-10 MPa to obtain the spinnable 
mesophase, performing processes of 
melt spinning, preoxidation and 
carbonization treatment on the 
mesophase to prepare the carbon 
fiber. The invention has the advantages of simple preparation method, conventional equipment, cheap 
raw material, good product quality and 
environmental protection, and is a method for high-value utilization of 
coal resource. The prepared carbon 
fiber can be used for high performance 
aerospace materials, adsorbents with high efficiency, separating agents, catalysts and catalyst carriers and the like.
