Preparation of dense carbon materials without use of any binder was attempted, effect of grinding treatment on the characteristics of raw petroleum needle coke and on the properties of the sintered carbon compacts was investigated, and the sintering mechanizm of the coke after grinding was discussed. It was found that the coke particle size and crystalline size was decreased and the specific surface area of the coke was increased with grinding, and the influence was obvious up to 20 hours grinding treatment.
The interlayer spacing of the coke after graphitization at 2773 K was gradually increased and the a-axis constant was marginally reduced with the grinding time. Results from the sintering experiment show that carbon materials can be sintered from the ground coke, and the density and flexural strength of the sintering compacts reached stable values of 1.8 g cmm3 and about 70 MPa, respectively, after 20 hours grinding of the coke. The sintering ability of the coke after grinding was considered to result from the increase of surface energy, lattice distortion energy and fraction of volatile matters of the coke, which were induced by grinding treatment.

An attempt was made to clarify, from the view~int of the behavior of the quinoline soluble component, the reason for the promotion of the sinterabiIity of raw coke powder caused by long grinding. Raw coke powder manufactured at 460ยฐC was ground for 44 hr by an automatic mortar. The ground powder was
