Additional Information for Technical Coal Tar
Technical coal tar is a byproduct of the coal carbonization process. It is obtained by heating coal in the absence of air to produce coke, gas, and coal tar.
Technical coal tar is a complex mixture of organic compounds, primarily aromatic hydrocarbons. It is black or dark brown in color and has a strong, pungent odor. The composition of technical coal tar can vary depending on the type of coal used and the carbonization process.
Technical coal tar has various applications in the chemical industry. It is commonly used as a raw material for the production of various chemicals, such as benzene, toluene, xylene, naphthalene, and phenol. These chemicals are further processed and used in the manufacturing of dyes, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, plastics, and other chemical products.
In addition to its use as a raw material, technical coal tar is also used in the production of carbon black, which is used as a reinforcing agent in rubber products, such as tires. It is also used as a binder in the production of electrodes for the steel industry.
It is important to note that technical coal tar contains various toxic and carcinogenic compounds, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Therefore, proper safety precautions should be taken when handling and processing technical coal tar to minimize exposure to these harmful substances.
