✦ Synopsis


Microscopic observation of carbons obtained from pure aromatic hydrocarbons by the aid of carbonization catalysts was carried out to clarify the microstructure of these carbons of different features. Reflected polarized-light microscopy distinguished needle, mosaic and isotropic cokes, former two of which were produced with aluminum chloride and the last with potassium. High resolution microscopy revealed that these carbons calcined at 1250" had different degree of layered structure, corresponding to the crystallographic parameters of these samples graphitized at 2500°C. The reasons for the carbons produced with potassium to be non-graphitizable are discussed from the macro-and micro-features of the carbons.

Using aluminum chloride as a catalyst, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were converted into carbons of two different structures, although at the early stage all carbonization processes proceeded via molten phase. The structures were examined with an optieal microscope under crossed nicols. The firs1
