Low Temperature Stabilization and Bulk Processing Techniques for the Production of Lower-Cost Asphaltene Based Short Carbon Fibres

In the CFGC Phase III project NORAM will combine its experience with new technology development & scale-up, to advance a new process to produce bulk short carbon fibres from asphaltenes in a manner that would be more cost-effective and easily scaled to high capacity than current production techniques. This work will build on experience gained in Phase 1 and 2 on low-cost fiber spinning, robust low temperature chemical stabilization methods, and alternative designs for high-temperature carbonization reactors.
