Abstract

Crystalloidal pitch is obtained by subjecting solid pitch particles measuring not more than 5 mm in cross-sectional equivalent diameter to a treatment to prevent cohesion and subsequently bringing the cohesion-proof solid pitch particles into contact with a non-oxidative gas at temperatures of from 350.degree. C to 550.degree. C while maintaining a gas flow rate sufficient to provide a suspension wherein the gas constitutes at least 30% by volume. The crystalloid pitch is useful as a precursor for various carbon products.
