Carbon black is an ultrafine soot, manufactured by the burning of hydrocarbons in a limited supply of air. This finely divided material (10 to 400 niju in diam) is of industrial importance as a reinforcing agent for rubber and as a colorant for printing ink, paint, paper, and plastics. Nearly, twenty years ago the mention of a carbon black plant evoked a vision of darkened plumes visible for miles, soot blanketed countryside and blackened farm animals, mute evidence of stray carbon black that escaped with the vent gases.

Carbon black plants polluted the atmosphere, the degree of pollution varying with the mode of production and separation of the black, and the geographic location of the plant. Those living in urban residential sites in the vicinity of manufacturing plants were grimly aware of the prevailing soot which was even more pronounced with a shift in wind. The plants then bore the stigma of dirt and their operating personnel singled out by their soiled work clothes and smudged faces. While this condition still exists at some isolated channel black plants, conditions have changed in most modern plants.

Applications of recovered carbon black

Biomaterials are widely used in several medical applications, such as

• Light and Moderate duty conveyor belts
• Gaskets and seals
• Passenger car and light truck tire sidewalls
• Rubber roofing.
• Light truck tire body and belt plies

Moreover, there has been a wide-scale demand increase in the use of the recovered carbon black for the several industrial applications. These are used for the manufacturing of the several rubber based materials which are likely to be used for the growth of the rubber industry.

One of the advantages of the recovered carbon black is the method for the lowering of the low ash content. These are also used for the determination and the manufacturing of the conveyor belts, which is one of the aspects for the growth of the market. These applications can be attributed to the increased demand for the reduction in the pollution, which is one of the major aspects for the use of the recovered carbon black. Moreover, there has been an increased demand from the rubber industry, which also boost and contributes to the increased applications of the carbon black.

The availability of the rubber for the reduction in the pollution is one of the major aspects which are likely to boost the growth of the recovered carbon black. The demand for the sustainable use of the resources is one of the aspects which are likely to have an impact on the growth of the recovered carbon black in the estimated forecast period. These materials are also used in the testing processes, which is likely to boost and enhance the need for the growth of the market.

In addition, the carbon black can be used in the prevention and the accumulation of the dust particles which are saturated, which may affect the pipelines. In addition, there has been an increased need for the environmental friendly factors, which contributes to the growth of the recovered carbon black market. Carbon black is so finely divided that whenever a leak develops in plant equipment, such as in the conveyor system, or in the bins, or at the bagging equipment, black will seep out and dust into the atmosphere.
