Abstract:
A method of producing carbon black including the steps of burning hydrocarbon fuel, introducing a hydrocarbon feedstock into the combustion gases, quenching the carbon black and gases formed, pelletizing the carbon black with water, drying the pellets with a purge gas and injecting a controlled amount of an oxidant gas into the substantially dry pellets to reduce their modulus-producing properties without reducing their abrasive resistance producing properties and the apparatus therefore.
