Abstract

A method for producing continuously 100% mesophase composed only of Q.I. component and Q.S. component in which a raw material of petroleum origin pitch is subjected continuously to a heat-treatment step in an amount necessary to produce a 100% mesophase taken out from a mesophase-growing and coalescing step, transferring the heat-formed pitch formed in the heat treatment step to a mesophase growing and coalescing step, taking out a definite amount of a non-mesophase pitch from the mesophase growing and coalescing step after stirring and heating treatment to return it to the heat-treatment step to repeat the stirring and heating treatment, and at the same time to take out 100% mesophase having constant properties from the mesophase growing and coalescing step.
