Abstract
Abstract Oil containing carbonaceous solids is subjected to a separation step to concentrate these solids in a stream which is used as the fuel oil for a carbon black reactor. Another stream from this separation step, thus lowered in carbonaceous solids content, is used as feed oil.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A process for producing carbon black having a low grit content comprising in combination: passing a first stream of hydrocarbon oil containing carbonaceous solid contaminants to a separation zone and therein dividing said first stream into a second stream having a portion of said carbonaceous solids removed therefrom and a third stream containing said thus-removed carbonaceous solids; passing said second stream to a carbon black reactor as feed oil; passing said third stream to said carbon black reactor as fuel oil; burning said fuel oil to provide hot combustion gases which are introduced into a reaction zone of said reactor; decomposing said feed oil in said reaction zone; and recovering said carbon black having a low grit content.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
118 words
A process for producing carbon black having a low grit content comprising in combination: passing a first stream of hydrocarbon oil containing carbonaceous solid contaminants to a separation zone and therein dividing said first stream into a second stream having a portion of said carbonaceous solids removed therefrom and a third stream containing said thus-removed carbonaceous solids; passing said second stream to a carbon black reactor as feed oil; passing said third stream to said carbon black reactor as fuel oil; burning said fuel oil to provide hot combustion gases which are introduced into a reaction zone of said reactor; decomposing said feed oil in said reaction zone; and recovering said carbon black having a low grit content.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein said feed oil is introduced axially into a reaction zone and said fuel oil is mixed with oxygen, burned and the combustion products introduced tangentially into said reaction zone.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein said oil is selected from petroleum residual oils, coal tar residual oils, and synthetic tars from catalytic or thermal cracking.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein said carbonaceous solids are concentrated in said third stream by means of a cyclone liquid-solid separator.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
37 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the weight percentage of said solid carbonaceous contaminants in said second stream is less than 50 percent of the weight percentage of said solid carbonaceous contaminants in said first stream.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
69 words
A method according to claim 5 wherein said hydrocarbon oil of said first stream is selected from the group consisting of liquid petroleum residual oil, liquid coal tar residual oil, and liquid synthetic tars from catalytic or thermal cracking, and wherein said feed oil is introduced axially and said fuel oil is mixed with oxygen, burned and hot combustion gases resulting therefrom are introduced tangentially into a reaction zone.
