Agglomeration Advisor: Agglomeration of carbon materials
Size enlargement by agglomeration is an important process for carbon materials, including carbon black, activated carbon, coal, and coke. This has been true, especially for coal, since the mid-1800s, when major industrialization began and briquetting equipment was first developed in Europe.
Carbon black, called at various times channel black, furnace black, and thermal black, is an important ingredient in manufacturing rubber products such as tires and belting and other products such as ink and paint.
