Abstract
Abstract Process for manufacturing an isotropic carbonaceous material having a high density and a high crushing strength which comprises the steps of (a) extracting a reformed coal from at least one component selected from the group consisting of brown coal, lignite and grass peat in the presence of hydrogen gas; (b) heating the reformed coal to produce a green coke; and (c) coking the green coke.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A process for manufacturing an isotropic carbonaceous substance having a high density and a high crushing strength, which comprises the steps of (a) extracting organic components from at least one coal component of a lower rank of coalification than a sub-bituminous C coal by means of a solvent to produce a solvent-containing extract; (b) removing said solvent from said extract and (c) heating said extract at a temperature not exceeding 450° C. for a period of time sufficient to produce an istropic green coke which is 90 to about 98% insoluble in benzene and about 60 to about 85% insoluble in quinoline.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words
A process for manufacturing an isotropic carbonaceous substance having a high density and a high crushing strength, which comprises the steps of (a) extracting organic components from at least one coal component of a lower rank of coalification than a sub-bituminous C coal by means of a solvent to produce a solvent-containing extract; (b) removing said solvent from said extract and (c) heating said extract at a temperature not exceeding 450° C. for a period of time sufficient to produce an istropic green coke which is 90 to about 98% insoluble in benzene and about 60 to about 85% insoluble in quinoline.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein said step of extracting comprises the sub-steps of dissolving said coal component in said solvent and separating undissolved residues from the solution.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
