Fine Thermal

Source From Blake, J.T. and Bruce, P.L., Ind. Eng. Chem., 33, 1198, 1941. P-33 is a fine thermal black, ASTM nomenclature N880. 

Abbreviation for Fine Thermal Carbon Black. The only form of thermal black now in common use is Medium Thermal (MT) black. See Thermal Black. 

Carbon blacks of lower particle size can be produced by diluting natural gas with recycled hydrogen. Fine thermal blacks (FT blacks) with mean primary particle sizes of 120-200 nm are manufactured in this way. Medium thermal blacks (MT blacks) with mean particle sizes of 300-500 nm are still produced and are obtained by using undiluted feed stock. The yield of MT blacks is about 40% with respect to the amount of feedstock and fuel used. 

The carbon blacks consisted of Spheron 6 and Sterling FT (fine thermal) black, both non-heat-treated and 2700° C. heat-treated (obtained from the Godfrey L. Cabot Co., Boston, Mass.). Published surface areas for the four carbon blacks are 114, 84.1, 15.5, and 12.5 sq. meters per gram, respectively (31). The silica sand was supplied by the New Jersey Silica Sand Co., Millville, N. J., with the manufacturer s designation of No. 325 flour. Screen analysis by the supplier showed a considerable range in particle size about 60% was retained on a 90-mesh screen and 90% on a 200-mesh screen. Finally, a sample of asbestos was tested (obtained from the Canadian Johns-Manville Co., Port Credit, Toronto, with the designation 7R). Zettlemoyer (31) has studied this material. 

Therefore, it is conceivable that the micropore and macropore are interparticle pores, while the mesopore presumably is the intra-particle pore. During the course of calcination, the connection of interparticle was destroyed and this finally resulted in the vanishing of macropore. Because the mesopore was the intraparticle pores, it had relative fine thermal stability though the pore size was enlarged in the calcination. The reasons may be attributed to the steric dispersant effect of non-ionic surfactant PEG [12]. In the synthesis course, PEG gave steric hindrance to the assembling of mesophase and improved the pore structure. 

Thermal blacks are formed relatively slowly, resulting in coarse particles in sizes ranging from 300 to 500 nm, referred to as medium thermal. However, formerly, when using natural gas only as feedstock, it was possible to dilute it with inert gases and produce a thermal black consisting of particles in the range of 120 to 200 nm. This was referred to as fine thermal although it has virtually disappeared from the market. 

Thermal black is made from natural gas by the thermatomic process in which methane is cracked over hot bricks at a temperature of 1,600°F (871°C) to form amorphous carbon and hydrogen. Thermal black consists of relatively coarse particles and is used principally as a pigment. A few grades (FT and MT referring to fine thermal and medium thermal) are also used in the rubber industry.

Thermal conductivity of the obtained aerogel glass materials was emalyzed by using a Hot Disk Thermal Constants Analyzer (Model TPS 2500S). A disk-type Kapton Sensor 5465 with radius 3.189 mm was used. The temperatrrre increase of the samples as a function of time was recorded to compute the thermal conductivity. The fined thermal conductivity value reported here was the arithmetic mean of three individual measurements trader different measurement conditions (heating power 5-20 mW, measurement time 5 0 s). 

There are thermal black plants in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom (1), and Russia. Two common grades are manufactured. These are Medium Thermal Black N990 and Fine Thermal Black N880.

Several modem processes for the production of carbon-based blacks (flame carbons . v.) are based on the thermal decomposition of lower gaseous hydrocarbons in the absence of air. Developed in the 1930s, the thermal black process is still used for the production of pigments. In distinction from other carbon black processes, the method is discontinuous the reaction furnace is heated to about 1400°C with a mixture of natural gas and air, then the air is switched off. The gas is decomposed, an andothermic process which cools the furnace. This cycle is then repeated. Fine thermal blacks of particle size 120-200 nm and medium thermal blacks of 300-500mn are typically produced (Buxbaum, 1998).
