Typical methods for producing this carbon fiber include a method of firing fibers such as acrylonitrile or cellulose, and a method of spinning and carbonizing a pitch-like material.
The former has a high raw material cost and low carbonization yield, making it unsuitable for industrial implementation, while the latter has the advantage of being able to use various pitches that are inexpensive and available in large quantities as raw materials. However, it is difficult to spin.Secondly, it has the disadvantage that high-quality carbon fiber cannot be obtained.
None of these methods can be said to be satisfactory as an industrial method.

High performance grade carbon fiber has not been obtained.

Comparative Example 1 Coal pitch with a quinoline dissolved content of 12% and a softening point of 102° C. was melted and filtered through a 25G4 glass filter to remove free carbon. This coal pitch of 2.000 iF and hydrogenated anthracene oil of 1500 r were charged into an autoclave, and after purging with nitrogen, the temperature was raised to 450° C. and held for 60 minutes. This solution was filtered through a 2504 glass filter, then transferred to a four-hole flask, and while stirring, the pressure was reduced in a nitrogen atmosphere to distill off the hydrogenated am]-helical oil to prepare a hydrogenated pitch. Next, the pressure was brought to normal, and the temperature was raised from 300°C to 440°C at a rate of 3°C/min while constantly distilling off low-boiling substances using nitrogen bubbles. When it reaches 440℃, stop heating and cool it down to 300℃ in about 8 minutes.
℃ and Toshida. The obtained spinning pitch containing the prime phase has a quinoline soluble content of 1168% and a benzene insoluble content of 62%.
The softening point was 144°C using a Koka type flow tester. Figure 3 shows a polarized light microscope at room temperature that is 320 times the pitch.
Show photos. In the figure, the continuous phase is isotropic and the globules are optically anisotropic.
