Abstract
A process is disclosed for producing pitches of high quality in a high yield by subjecting selected crude oil to adiabatic thermal and steam cracking process at a temperature between 700.degree. C. and 1000.degree. C. to produce gases containing ethylene, propylene and the like and a tar pitch having an ethylene-to-acetylene ratio above 5; adjusting the pitch content of the tar pitch in the range between 20 and 80 wt % (if this content is outside this specified range); heat-treating at a temperature between about 450.degree. C. and about 550.degree. C. under a pressure between about 50 and about 150 kg/cm.sup.2 (G) for about 1 to 15 minutes, and subsequently heat-soaking at a temperature between about 350.degree. and about 450.degree. C. under a pressure between about 0.5 and about 10 kg/cm.sup.2 (G) for about 15 minutes to 10 hours.
