Home > Impact > Funded Projects > Preparation of Feed Stock to Produce Carbon Fibre from Asphaltenes
The scope of this project is to develop ways to treat asphaltenes thermally and chemically to prepare a suitable feedstock for future carbon fibre production from Alberta heavy oils and bitumen, either from the production facilities or refineries and upgraders. The feedstock will be spun to produce the asphaltene-based filaments. Certain physical and chemical analysis will be completed to confirm the required properties of the feedstock for making carbon fiber.
