Abstract Solid particles in the coal tar have an important effect on pyrolysis and condensation, as well as the microstructure of carbonized products. Due to the influence of raw material, structure of coke oven and coking conditions, there are big differences between the composition, structure, and particle size distribution of solid particles. In order to analyze the influence of these solid particles (often referred to as quinoline insolubles, QI) in coal tar on carbonization process of pitch, elemental analysis, particle size analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis, energy spectrum analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis and thermogravimetric analysis of the solid particles separated from coal tar were conducted, and their influence on the microstructure of coal tar pitch carbonized products was investigated. Results indicated that most of these particles were round, and some of them were aggregated, the yield was 3.44%, 95.29% of them were less than 10 μm. These particles mainly consisted of carbon, and content of carbon was about 98%. There were also some inorganic metallic elements, such as iron, calcium, aluminum, and silicon etc. This might be related to the coking process. The presence of solid particles tends to generate a Mosaic structure of green coke, therefore the preparation of high quality carbon materials needs to effectively remove these particles.
