REFORMED TAR, PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF REFORMED TAR, PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF RAW COKE, AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF NEEDLE COKE

摘要

Provided is a reformed tar which can provide both a needle coke and a raw coke suitable for the production of a needle coke. The reformed tar can be produced by adding 30 to 300 parts by mass of a hydrogen-donating solvent to 100 parts by mass of either a low-temperature coal tar or a coal tar pitch obtained by removing a light fraction from a low-temperature coal tar, and then keeping the obtained mixture under a pressure of 0.3 to 5.0MPa at a temperature of 380 to 450°C for 0.1 to 4 hours.
