Disclosed is a process for producing mesophase pitch by hydrogenation of high-temperature coal tar, comprising removing salts and quinoline insolubles from the high-temperature coal tar to obtain a clear oil; using the clear oil as a hydrogenation feed oil, or pre-distilling the clear oil to obtain a bottom component with a boiling point higher than 230°C and formulating the bottom component into a hydrogenation feed oil; refining the hydrogenation feed oil by catalytic hydrogenation to obtain a refined hydrogenated oil; distilling the refined hydrogenated oil to obtain hydrogenated pitch; subjecting the hydrogenated pitch to thermal condensation polymerisation to obtain the mesophase pitch. The process has features such as an easily controllable degree of hydrogenation, complete removal of impurities, good raw material flowability, not being susceptible to carbon deposition and coking during the process, and not tending to block the reactor. The product has a high mesophase content, a low softening point and a low impurity content. |
