Carbon black process

Claim 1

IN THE PROCESS OF PRODUCING CARBON BLACK BY THERMALLY DECOMPOSING HYDROCARBONS IN WHICH A COMBUSTIBLE MIXTURE OF A FLUID FUEL AND OXYGEN-CONTAINING GAS IS BLASTED INTO ONE END OF AN ENLONGATED, UNOBSTRUCTED, HEAT-INSULATED CHAMBER AND BURNED THEREIN TO PRODUCE A VIOLENTLY TURBULENT STREAN OF BLASE FLAME GASES PASSING LONGITUDINALLY THROUGH THE CHAMBER AT A TEMPERATURE SUFFICIENTLY HIGH TO THERMALLY DECOMPOSE THE HYDROCARBONS AND TE HYDROCARBONS TO BE DECOMPOSED ARE SEPARATELY AND FORCEFULLY INJECTED INTO AND MIXED WITH SAID STREAM OF BLAST FLAME GASES WHILE THE LATTER IS PASSING THROUGH THE REACTION CHAMBER AND AT A POINT REMOVED FROM THE POINT OF INTRODUCTION OF SAID COMBUSTIBLE MIXTURE AND IN SUCH QUANTITY THAT THE RESULTANT MIXTURE IS AT THE DECOMPOSITION TEMPERATURE OF THE HYDROCARBONS, CONTINUING THE FLOW OF THE MIXTURE THROUGH THE ELONGATED CHAMBER AT
