Utilities/Energy Conservation utilize the waste gases from the process for
energy conservation and to produce steam and/or electricity
15 to 450 m2/g
Measure of the total surface area
Surface Area
(Iodine Adsorption)
15 to 450 mg/g
Quick measure of surface area but affected by
surface chemistry
Structure (OAN)
40 to 200 ml/100 g
Carbon black particles fuse together to form
aggregates and agglomerates
