Plasma processing: a step towards the production of new grades of carbon black

More than 99% of the carbon black is presently produced by incomplete combustion processes; the by far dominant one is the ‘furnace process’ developed 60 years ago. This paper presents a new route in which the cracking operation is carried out in the absence of oxygen thanks to an external electric...

Summary:More than 99% of the carbon black is presently produced by incomplete combustion processes; the by far dominant one is the ‘furnace process’ developed 60 years ago. This paper presents a new route in which the cracking operation is carried out in the absence of oxygen thanks to an external electric energy supply given by a plasma arc.
