Scientists Develop Cleaner Coal Processing Technology for High-Tech Carbon Materials

Yara Sameh Scientists from the Krasnoyarsk Science Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, working with colleagues from Mongolia, and China, have developed a coal processing method that offers a cleaner, more efficient alternative to traditional use, according to TV BRICS. The technology converts up to 97.5 per cent of coal into polyaromatic hydrocarbons and resins – valuable raw materials for high-tech carbon products – while generating minimal waste and much lower levels of the carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene. This is reported by the official website of the Russian Academy of Sciences . The international research team believes the technology could provide a sustainable option for the coal sector, helping to move beyond conventional coal burning. The materials produced can be used in making carbon fibre and other high-tech products. The process involves dissolving coal in special liquid. When heated to around 380°C, the coal breaks down and turns into a concentrated mixture of polyaromatic hydrocarbons. Importantly, the choice of solvent influences the quality of the final product, particularly its aromatic structure, which determines properties like heat resistance and chemical stability – essential for carbon composites. The team found that coal tar as a solvent produced the most aromatic and chemically valuable material. One of the major advantages of the method is its lower environmental impact. The content of benzo[a]pyrene in the processed material is much lower than in traditional coal tar pitch, and longer processing times help reduce harmful substances even further. Waste is kept to a minimum – no more than 8 per cent regardless of the solvent used – helping to cut down on pollutants released into the environment. read more UAE's Lunar Mission Delayed to Tomorrow Twitter Lifts Trump's Account Ban Scientists Find Evidence Of 10،000 Black Holes Surrounding The Center Of The Milky Way Galaxy Greenhouse In Antarctica Able To Grow Vegetables Without Soil Or Sunlight Moving Over China: U.S. Is Again Home to World's Speediest Supercomputer Technology The 10 most expensive cars in the world Technology Top 10 fastest cars in the world Technology Lasers Could Make Computers 1 Million Times Faster Technology Smart technology taking control of our lives News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language
