A carbon powder is disclosed with 40 to 75% by weight QI or more than 90% by weight TI, an optical anisotropy of less than 50% by volume, a start of softening between 200.degree. and 300.degree. C., and an oxygen content of more than 2% by weight, and which can be used for without binding agent the production of shaped carbon bodies. The carbon powder is produced by means of distillation from bituminous product at a maximum of 5 mbars and a final temperature of at least 400.degree. C., grinding of the distillation residue to a particle size of less than 30 .mu.m, and oxidation of the powder into the particle core.

Sinterable carbon powder and method of its production

An isotropic coal tar pitch having a low content of carcinogenic compounds is prepared by distilling a coal tar pitch in an evaporator having a specific evaporator surface of from 330 to 10,000 m.sup.2 /m.sup.3, at a temperature in the range of from 300.degree. to 380.degree. C., under a pressure not exceeding 1 mbar, whereby the average stay period is from 2 to 10 minutes. The isotropic pitch thus obtained contains less that 50 ppm of benzo[a]pyrene and is suitable, optionally after adding an oil, resin or other modifying agents having a low benzo[a]pyrene content, for use as binding and impregnating agent and also as protecting agent in construction materials or as varnish (painting agent).

Coal tar pitch and the preparation and use thereof

A process for the preparation of an aromatic hydrocarbon resin modified with aromatic carboxylic acids comprising suspending methane sulfonic acid and at least one aromatic carboxylic acid in an aliphatic solvent and slowly proportioning at least one unsaturated aromatic hydrocarbon into the suspension under polymerization conditions and their salts.

Novel process

A process for the preparation of 2,6-dialkyl-naphthalenes comprising selectively alkylating naphthalene or 2-alkyl-naphthalene with alkylating agent in the presence of a zeolite catalyst at 250.degree. to 345.degree. C. which dialkyl-naphthalenes are useful for the preparation of naphthalene 2,6-dicarboxylic acid used to produce high-quality polyesters or polyamides.

Preparation of 2,6-dialkyl-naphthalenes

A process for the continuous production of indene resins comprising the steps of continuously pre-heating an indene-containing hydrocarbon mixture, continuously adding a boron trifluoride-adduct catalyst and the pre-heated indene-containing mixture to a reaction tube, continuously isothermally reacting the indene-containing mixture with the catalyst at the temperature of the pre-heated mixture to form an indene-containing resin, continuously decomposing the catalyst, and continuously separating the indene-containing resin from the decomposed catalyst and unreacted substances.
