Abstract
According to the International Carbon Black Association, carbon black is virtually pure elemental carbon in the form of colloidal particles that are produced by incomplete combustion or thermal decomposition of gaseous or liquid hydrocarbons under controlled conditions. It was traditionally used as a reinforcing agent in tires but its uses have broadened to include plastics, electrostatic discharge compounds, pigments, and printing. If biochar could replace all or even part of the carbon black then the reliance on fossil-produced carbon black would be reduced.
