Abstract

Apparatus for the manufacture of carbon black, characterized in that it comprises: (a) an elongated tubular metal housing provided with an inlet end and an outlet end, and a cover member closing said inlet end; (b) an elongated tubular metal reactor of smaller diameter than said housing supported substantially concentrically within the latter providing an annular space between both members, said reactor having two openings at its inlet and outlet ends and an essentially smooth metallic peripheral surface and free of obstructions, said reactor having its entrance end opening arranged in longitudinally spaced relationship with said covered end of said reactor to thereby form a cylindrical chamber free of obstructions between both said members, and said chamber having a length substantially less than of said reactor; (c) refractory and heat conducting media that line said reactor, said refractory means having a minimum thickness to protect the reactor and provide maximum heat transfer from said reactor to said annular space; (D) tangential inlet means air disposed toward the outlet end of said housing communicating with said annular space, said tangential inlet means air adapted to helically prevent air through said annular space in the general direction of being said camera; (e) a gas burner disposed substantially concentrically with said chamber; (f) inlet means for the hydrocarbon located in substantial axial alignment with said burner, whereby the hydrocarbon is introduced into the apex of a flame produced by said burner; Y (g) a flared extension attached to said reactor at the inlet end thereof and in axial alignment with said burner, terminating the opposite end of said flared extension approximately adjacent said cover member, and said extension being provided with a series of blind openings to receive the air from said annular space and direct it predominantly towards the interior of said extension.
