Popis: The influence of pitch composition and surface properties of petroleum coke on the interaction of pitch and coke in the composite is studied. The adsorption results and EPR data indicate that recombination of paramagnetic centers and interaction of oxygen functional groups occur during the preparation of the composite. As a result of interaction between petroleum coke and pitch, polar compounds are concentrated in the adsorption layer. The baking criterion is used for the characterization of the baking ability of the pitches obtained as a result of different oxidation treatments of commercial coal tar pitch. It is determined that physico-chemical properties of the obtained pitches influence the value of the “baking criterion”. The kind of thermo-oxidation treatment of the parent pitch should be chosen hence achieving the maximum value of the baking criterion. For this purpose, the maximal part of the pitch has to take part in the adsorption layer.
