Definitions
- This invention has scope for application in the processes for the distillation of decanted oil with the aim of increasing the production yield and quality of the pitches obtained.
- Pitches are used for the production of carbon artefacts, especially for the production of carbon fibres having excellent mechanical properties. They also have application as binders in the industries for the production of anodes, aluminium and graphite electrodes for the steel industry.
- pitches conventionally uses coal tar as a raw material.
- pitches from decanted oil involves a processing stage in which the raw material is distilled with removal of the lighter compounds, leaving as the end product a pitch which has solid properties at ambient temperature.
- the mean yield from a conventional process such as that described above is approximately 20% of pitch.
- the flow from this heater is transferred to a distillation column where it is distilled at a specific pressure and temperature so that the light fractions derived from the heavy fraction are separated out as product from the top of this column and the heavy fraction is collected from the bottom of the column as an intermediate pitch.
- bituminous material is subjected to hydrogenation treatment at a particular temperature and pressure with the addition of a solvent based on a hydrogen donor, essentially yielding an isotropic hydrogenated pitch and finally, in a fourth stage, the compound from the third stage is subjected to heat treatment in a temperature range from 35O 0 C to 500 0 C under a pressure above atmospheric to convert it into a pitch binder.
- US 5,259,947 discloses a solvated mesophase pitch having a liquid-crystalline structure comprising a vehicle of mesogens, pseudo-mesogens or a mixture thereof in which the solvated mesophase pitch is at least 40% by volume optically anisotropic and in which the solvated mesophase pitch melts at at least 4O 0 C below the mesogen component or in which the solvated mesophase pitch contains pseudo-mesogens, where the solvated mesophase pitch melts or softens and the pseudo-mesogen component does not; where the solvent dissolves in the mesogen or pseudo-mesogen and gives rise to a lower melting point when it retains a substantial volume of liquid-crystalline structure.
- This invention relates to a process for the distillation of decanted oil in order to increase the yield of the production of pitch binders with excellent physical and chemical qualities which makes them suitable for use in various industrial applications .
- the above aim has been accomplished through developing a distillation process which basically comprises the introduction of a stage of the condensing the light and volatile compounds deriving from the distillation of decanted oil, these light compounds being recycled to the hot zone of the still where they react with the raw material forming a mixture which has less viscosity than the reaction system, which acts as a solvent phase.
- This stage is carried out at a particular temperature and for a particular time.
- Figure 1 is a diagrammatical view of the distillation system according to this invention.
- Figure 2 shows a graph of heating in a first distillation experiment with a cooling coil according to this invention, in which graphs of the temperature within the still and the temperature at the top of the distillation column are plotted.
- Figure 3 illustrates a graph of heating in a second distillation experiment with a cooling coil according to this invention, in which graphs of the temperature within the still and the temperature at the top of the distillation column are plotted.
- Figure 4 illustrates a graph of heating in a third distillation experiment with a cooling coil according to this invention, in which graphs of the temperature within the still and the temperature at the top of the distillation column are plotted.
- Figure 5 shows a graph of heating in a fourth distillation experiment with a cooling coil according to this invention, in which graphs of the temperature within the still and the temperature at the top of the distillation column are plotted.
- This invention relates to a process for the distillation of decanted oil with a view to increasing the production yield of pitches having excellent physical and chemical properties.
- pitches can be produced using coal tar and heavy oil residues. Heavy oil residues or residues from its processing have been widely used as a primary material for obtaining pitches.
- the majority of the technical work which uses petroleum pitch in its experiments mentions the use of commercial pitches as a raw material.
- the production of pitches from decanted oil as raw material involves a distillation which removes lighter compounds and makes it possible to form a heavy material, a pitch which is in the solid state at ambient temperature.
- the yield of pitch obtained from conventional distillation is of the order of 20%.
- a vacuum which although accelerating the distillation process also results in even lower yields than in the conventional process may be applied during distillation.
- the process according to this invention is based on heat treatment with reflux.
- Heating of the decanted oil and reflux allows light molecules which would be withdrawn from the system by being volatilised to return and remain within the still. This reduces excessive condensation of the heavier molecules, purely because of the presence of these lighter molecules which have considerable aromaticity and naphthenic hydrogens which ⁇ improve the physical and chemical properties of the pitch.
- Figure 2 illustrates the heating graph for this Run 3 in which the change in the temperature of the still (Ti nt ) is plotted on the graph in the form of lozenges and the change in the temperature at the top of the column (T to p) is plotted in the form of triangles.
- Figure 3 illustrates the heating graph for this Run 4 in which the change in the temperature of the still (Tin t ) is plotted on the graph in the form of squares and the change in the temperature at the top of the column (Ttop) is plotted in the form of solid circles.
- FIG. 4 shows the heating graph for this Run 5 in which the change in the temperature within the still (T ⁇ t ) is plotted on the graph in the form of squares and the change in the temperature at the top of the column (Ttop) is plotted in the form of solid circles .
- Figure 5 shows the heating graph for this Run 6 in which the change in the temperature within the still (Ti nt ) is plotted on the graph in the form of squares and the change in the temperature at the top of the column (T tO p) is plotted in the form of solid circles .
- this invention has been described in the form of its preferred embodiment, the main concept underlying this invention, which is a process for the distillation of decanted oil with the object of increasing the efficiency of the production of pitches having excellent physical and chemical properties rendering them suitable for use in various industrial applications, including the manufacture of carbon fibres, retains its innovative nature, while those skilled in the art may envisage and make variations, modifications, changes, adaptations and the like which are necessary and compatible with the method of working in question without however going beyond the spirit and scope of this invention which is represented by the following claims .
