EFFECT OF PITCH PETROLEUM OXIDATION ON MESOPHASE PRODUCTION

This study used two Colombian petroleum pitches (an asphalt and a precipitate) to determine their capacity as precursor of carbonaceous materials. In order to obtain the mesophase, pitches were oxidized at temperature of 350°C and oxidation times of 2; 3 and 5 hours. Oxidized pitches were fractioned...
