A process for filtering carbon black-containing gas wherein an optimum of carbon black recovery is achieved by filtering at least the critical filtration time and up to 50 percent, preferably up to 20 percent, longer than said critical filtration time before backflowing. The critical filtration time is that filtration phase at which the linearly plotted curve of the initial pressure drop versus the filtration phase has an inflection point. Specific formulae are given for a Teflon filter bag and carbon blacks of about 80 to about 130 square meters per gram nitrogen surface area.
