In recent years researchers at West Virginia University have developed coal-derived pitches on a laboratory scale in quantities sufficient to make 1 kg samples of calcined coke for fashioning graphite test specimens. The pitches were derived by uhlizmg solvent extraction with N-methyl pyrrohdone (NMP). This solvent is able to isolate coal-based pitches m high yield and with low mineral matter content [13]. It is this work that will form the basis of the discussion for the later part of this chapter. 

Further details and specialized information on the mechanisms, product qualities, and proce.sses applied to the heating of coal in solvents can be found in the abundant literature [20]. What follows are some of the results of research conducted at West Virginia University, where investigations of the conversion of coal into pitches suitable for graphite production have been carried out...
