SUMMARY:Sustainable Replacements for Coal Tar Pitch Binders
DESCRIPTION:Coal Tar Pitch (CTP) is a residue formed from the distillation of coal tar and is widely used as a carbonisable/graphitisable binder for many industrial applications. CTP, though, is fossil-derived and toxic, and has recently been classified as a ‘sunset’ status material under REACH. This talk will show recent research work focused on exploring the potential of both wood-derived biopitch and biopitch synthesized from paper sludge as natural and sustainable replacements for the currently used petroleum derived CTP.
