UNDERSTANDING RECOVERED CARBON BLACK

ABSTRACT As the rubber industry turns its focus to sustainability, recovered carbon black (rCB) has emerged as a commercial candidate replace conventional fossil-based fillers. Since rCB is new class of filler, much still be understood regarding which properties influence final applications performance. The research presented in this paper demonstrates importance controlling aggregate size distribution, silica content, carbonaceous residue and organic content producing consistent product. These parameters are also demonstrated fundamental reasons behind disparity performance similar colloidal properties. findings study reveal that an can tailored for given application with precise control process conditions.
