Carbon black production

摘要

A start-up procedure for a carbon black furnace wherein a low Btu off-gas as can be obtained from the filters in which the carbon black is separated from the carbon black reactor effluent is admixed with a high Btu fuel and passed along with combustion-supporting gas to a combustion zone in a carbon black reactor furnace to create a desired vortex of hot combustion gases therein suitable for production of carbon black and wherein when combustion of part of the feedstock introduced into said vortex the temperature can be maintained phasing out or discontinuing the flow of said high Btu fuel.
