Carbon black is essentially an elemental carbon in a form different from diamond, cokes, charcoal and graphite.
It consists of spherical like particles and is manufactured by the incomplete combustion of a heavy aromatic feedstock in a hot flame of (preheated) air and natural gas:
cxHy + 02 ---> C + CH4 + CO + H2 + C02 + H20
The primary units of carbon black are aggregates, which are formed when particles collide and fuse together in the combustion zone of the reactor. Several of those aggregates may be held together by weak forces to form agglomerates. These agglomerates will break down during mixing into rubber, so the aggregates are the smallest ultimate dispersible unit of carbon black.
