RESUMO

The main objectives in this study are the process development to convert decanted oil into petroleum pitches and monofilament carbon fiber obtaining both from isotropic and mesophase petroleum pitch precursors. Decanted oil is the residue from the petroleum catalytic cracking unit. Carbon fibers were also produced using commercial mesophase made from naphthalene and compared to those ones from decanted oil. The first step in the process is decanted oil distillation under vacuum or atmospheric pressure to produce the pitch; the second one is the pitch heat treatment in the temperature range of 350°C to 450°C under inert gas (N2) pressure to produce the mesophase pitch. Isotropic and mesophase pitches are continuously weaved by melted wiring followed by heat treatment in oxidative environment to reach the stabilization and finally carbonized under inert gas environment. Petroleum pitches produced from decanted oil in the process developed here have specific physical-chemical properties and can be used to replace coal tar pitches as impregnation agent and/or binders for electrode manufacture to steel and iron-alloy industries, specially for primary aluminum production. Petroleum pitches are also raw materials to advanced carbons
