Description
Furnace carbon black, process for its production and its use The invention relates to a furnace carbon black, to a process for its production and to its use.
Furnace carbon blacks can be produced in a furnace carbon black reactor by the pyrolysis of hydrocarbons, as is known from Ullmanns Encyklopadie der technischen Chemie, lo Volume 14, page 637-640 (1977). In the furnace carbon black reactor, a zone having a high energy density is produced by burning a fuel gas or a liquid fuel with air, and the carbon black raw material is injected into that zone. The carbon black raw material is pyrolysed at temperatures from 1200 C to 1900 C. The structure of the carbon black may be influenced by the presence of alkali metal or alkaline earth metal ions during the carbon black formation, and such additives are therefore frequently added in the form of aqueous solutions to the carbon black raw material. The 2o reaction is terminated by the injection of water (quenching) and the carbon black is separated from the waste gas by means of separators or filters. Because of its low bulk density, the resulting carbon black is then granulated. That may be carried out in a pelletising machine with the addition of water to which small amounts of a pelletising auxiliary may be added.
In the case of the simultaneous use of carbon black oil and gaseous hydrocarbons, such as, for example, methane, as the carbon black raw material, the gaseous hydrocarbons may be injected into the stream of hot waste gas separately from the carbon black oil through their own set of gas lances.
If the carbon black oil is divided between two different injection points which are offset relative to each other along the axis of the reactor, then at the first, upstream point, the amount of residual oxygen still contained in the combustion chamber waste gas is present in excess relative to the carbon black oil that is sprayed in. Accordingly, carbon black formation takes place at a higher temperature at that point as compared with subsequent carbon black injection sites, that is to say the carbon blacks formed at the first injection point are always more finely divided and have a higher specific surface area than those formed at a subsequent injection point. Each further injection of 1o carbon black oils leads to further temperature reductions and to carbon blacks having larger primary particles.
Carbon blacks produced in that manner therefore exhibit a broadening of the aggregate size distribution curve and, after incorporation into rubber, show different behaviour than carbon blacks having a very narrow monomodal aggregate size spectrum. The broader aggregate size distribution curve leads to a lower loss factor of the rubber mixture, that is to say to a lower hysteresis, which is why one also speaks of low hysteresis carbon blacks. Carbon blacks of that type, and processes for their production, are described in patent specifications EP 0 315 442 and EP
0 519 988.
DE 19521565 discloses furnace carbon blacks having CTAB
values from 80 to 180 m2/g and 24M4-DBP absorption from 80 to 140 ml/100 g, for which, in the case of incorporation into an SSBR/BR rubber mixture, a tanSp/tanS60 ratio of tanSo/tanS60 > 2.76 - 6.7 x 10-3 x CTAB
applies and the tanS60 value is always lower than the value for ASTM carbon blacks having the same CTAB surface area 3o and 24M4-DBP absorption. In that process, the fuel is burnt with a smoking flame in order to form seeds.
The object of the present invention is to produce a carbon black that has a higher activity when used as a support material for electrocatalysts in fuel cells.

The object of the present invention is to produce a carbon black that has a higher activity when used as a support material for electrocatalysts in fuel cells.
The invention provides a furnace carbon black, characterised in that it has an H content of greater than 4000 ppm, determined by CHN analysis, and a peak integral ratio, determined by inelastic neutron scattering (INS), of non-conjugated H atoms (1250-2000 cm 1) to aromatic and graphitic H atoms (1000-1250 cm-1 and 750-1000 cm-1) of less than 1.22.
The H content may be greater than 4200 ppm, preferably greater than 4400 ppm. The peak integral ratio of non-1o conjugated H atoms (1250-2000 cm-1) to aromatic and graphitic H atoms (1000-1250 cm 1 and 750-1000 cm-1) may be less than 1.20.
The CTAB surface area may be from 20 to 200 m2/g, preferably from 20 to 70 mZ/g. The DBP number may be from 40 to 160 ml/100 g, preferably from 100 to 140 ml/100 g.
The very high hydrogen content indicates a pronounced disturbance of the carbon lattice by an increased number of crystallite edges.
The invention further provides a process for the production of the furnace carbon black according to the invention in a carbon black reactor which contains, along the axis of the reactor, a combustion zone, a reaction zone and a termination zone, by producing a stream of hot waste gas in the combustion zone by completely burning a fuel in an oxygen-containing gas and passing the waste gas from the combustion zone through the reaction zone into the termination zone, mixing a carbon black raw material with the hot waste gas in the reaction zone and stopping the formation of carbon black in the termination zone by spraying in water, which process is characterised in that a liquid carbon black raw material and a gaseous carbon black raw material are injected at the same point.
The H content may be greater than 4200 ppm, preferably greater than 4400 ppm. The peak integral ratio of non-1o conjugated H atoms (1250-2000 cm-1) to aromatic and graphitic H atoms (1000-1250 cm 1 and 750-1000 cm-1) may be less than 1.20.
The CTAB surface area may be from 20 to 200 m2/g, preferably from 20 to 70 mZ/g. The DBP number may be from 40 to 160 ml/100 g, preferably from 100 to 140 ml/100 g.
The very high hydrogen content indicates a pronounced disturbance of the carbon lattice by an increased number of crystallite edges.
The invention further provides a process for the production of the furnace carbon black according to the invention in a carbon black reactor which contains, along the axis of the reactor, a combustion zone, a reaction zone and a termination zone, by producing a stream of hot waste gas in the combustion zone by completely burning a fuel in an oxygen-containing gas and passing the waste gas from the combustion zone through the reaction zone into the termination zone, mixing a carbon black raw material with the hot waste gas in the reaction zone and stopping the formation of carbon black in the termination zone by spraying in water, which process is characterised in that a liquid carbon black raw material and a gaseous carbon black raw material are injected at the same point.
The liquid carbon black raw material may be atomised by pressure, steam, compressed air or the gaseous carbon black raw material.
Liquid hydrocarbons burn more slowly than gaseous hydrocarbons since they must first be converted into the gaseous form, that is to say vaporised. As a result, the carbon black contains components that are formed from the gas and components that are formed from the liquid.
The so-called K factor is frequently used as the measured lo value for characterising the excess of air. The K factor is the ratio of the amount of air required for stoichiometric combustion of the fuel to the amount of air actually supplied to the combustion. A K factor of 1, therefore, means stoichiometric combustion. Where there is an excess of air, the K factor is less than 1. K factors of from 0.3 to 0.9 may be applied, as in the case of known carbon blacks. K factors of from 0.6 to 0.7 are preferably used.
There may be used as the liquid carbon black raw material liquid aliphatic or aromatic, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbons or mixtures thereof, distillates from coal tar or residue oils which are formed in the catalytic cracking of crude oil fractions or in the production of olefins by cracking naphtha or gas oil.
There may be used as the gaseous carbon black raw material gaseous aliphatic, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbons, mixtures thereof or natural gas.
The described process is not limited to a particular reactor geometry. Rather, it may be adapted to different types of reactor and sizes of reactor.
The carbon black raw material atomisers used may be both pure mechanical atomisers (single-component atomisers) and two-component atomisers with internal or external mixing, it being possible for the gaseous carbon black raw material to be used as the atomising medium. The above-described combination of a liquid and a gaseous carbon black raw material may therefore be implemented, for example, by using the gaseous carbon black raw material as the 5 atomising medium for the liquid carbon black raw material..
Two-component atomisers may preferably be used for atomising the liquid carbon black raw material. While in the case of single-component atomisers a change in the throughput may also lead to a change in the droplet size, lo the droplet size in the case of two-component atomisers can be influenced largely independently of the throughput.
Using the process according to the invention it is possible to produce the entire range of industrial furnace carbon blacks. The measures necessary therefor, such as, for example, the setting of the dwell time in the reaction zone and the addition of additives to influence the structure of the carbon black, are known to the person skilled in the art.
Examples In the Examples and Comparison Examples that follow, furnace carbon blacks according to the invention are produced and their use as a support material for electrocatalysts is described. The electrochemical performance data in a fuel cell are used as the criterion for evaluating the furnace carbon blacks.
Production of carbon black Bl:
A carbon black according to the invention is produced in the carbon black reactor 1 shown in Figure 1. The carbon black reactor 1 has a combustion chamber 2. The oil and gas are introduced into the combustion chamber through the axial lance 3. The lance may be displaced in the axial direction in order to optimise carbon black formation.
The combustion chamber leads to the narrow portion 4. After passing through the narrow portion, the reaction gas mixture expands into the reaction chamber 5.
The lance has suitable spray nozzles at its head (Figure 2).
The combustion zone, the reaction zone and the termination zone, which are important for the process according to the lo invention, cannot be separated sharply from one another.
Their axial extent depends on the positioning of the lances and of the quenching water lance 6 in each particular case.
The dimensions of the reactor used are as indicated below:
largest diameter of the combustion chamber: 696 mm length of the combustion chamber to the narrow portion: 630 mm diameter of the narrow portion: 140 mm length of the narrow portion: 230 mm diameter of the reaction chamber: 802 mm position of the oil lances 1) + 160 mm position of the quenching water lances 2060 mm 1) measured from the zero point (beginning of the narrow portion) The reactor parameters for the production of the carbon black according to the invention are listed in the table below.
Liquid hydrocarbons burn more slowly than gaseous hydrocarbons since they must first be converted into the gaseous form, that is to say vaporised. As a result, the carbon black contains components that are formed from the gas and components that are formed from the liquid.
The so-called K factor is frequently used as the measured lo value for characterising the excess of air. The K factor is the ratio of the amount of air required for stoichiometric combustion of the fuel to the amount of air actually supplied to the combustion. A K factor of 1, therefore, means stoichiometric combustion. Where there is an excess of air, the K factor is less than 1. K factors of from 0.3 to 0.9 may be applied, as in the case of known carbon blacks. K factors of from 0.6 to 0.7 are preferably used.
There may be used as the liquid carbon black raw material liquid aliphatic or aromatic, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbons or mixtures thereof, distillates from coal tar or residue oils which are formed in the catalytic cracking of crude oil fractions or in the production of olefins by cracking naphtha or gas oil.
There may be used as the gaseous carbon black raw material gaseous aliphatic, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbons, mixtures thereof or natural gas.
The described process is not limited to a particular reactor geometry. Rather, it may be adapted to different types of reactor and sizes of reactor.
The carbon black raw material atomisers used may be both pure mechanical atomisers (single-component atomisers) and two-component atomisers with internal or external mixing, it being possible for the gaseous carbon black raw material to be used as the atomising medium. The above-described combination of a liquid and a gaseous carbon black raw material may therefore be implemented, for example, by using the gaseous carbon black raw material as the 5 atomising medium for the liquid carbon black raw material..
Two-component atomisers may preferably be used for atomising the liquid carbon black raw material. While in the case of single-component atomisers a change in the throughput may also lead to a change in the droplet size, lo the droplet size in the case of two-component atomisers can be influenced largely independently of the throughput.
Using the process according to the invention it is possible to produce the entire range of industrial furnace carbon blacks. The measures necessary therefor, such as, for example, the setting of the dwell time in the reaction zone and the addition of additives to influence the structure of the carbon black, are known to the person skilled in the art.
Examples In the Examples and Comparison Examples that follow, furnace carbon blacks according to the invention are produced and their use as a support material for electrocatalysts is described. The electrochemical performance data in a fuel cell are used as the criterion for evaluating the furnace carbon blacks.
Production of carbon black Bl:
A carbon black according to the invention is produced in the carbon black reactor 1 shown in Figure 1. The carbon black reactor 1 has a combustion chamber 2. The oil and gas are introduced into the combustion chamber through the axial lance 3. The lance may be displaced in the axial direction in order to optimise carbon black formation.
The combustion chamber leads to the narrow portion 4. After passing through the narrow portion, the reaction gas mixture expands into the reaction chamber 5.
The lance has suitable spray nozzles at its head (Figure 2).
The combustion zone, the reaction zone and the termination zone, which are important for the process according to the lo invention, cannot be separated sharply from one another.
Their axial extent depends on the positioning of the lances and of the quenching water lance 6 in each particular case.
The dimensions of the reactor used are as indicated below:
largest diameter of the combustion chamber: 696 mm length of the combustion chamber to the narrow portion: 630 mm diameter of the narrow portion: 140 mm length of the narrow portion: 230 mm diameter of the reaction chamber: 802 mm position of the oil lances 1) + 160 mm position of the quenching water lances 2060 mm 1) measured from the zero point (beginning of the narrow portion) The reactor parameters for the production of the carbon black according to the invention are listed in the table below.

The hydrogen contents of the carbon blacks is determined by CHN elemental analysis (LECO RH-404 analyser with thermal conductivity detector). The method of inelastic neutron scattering (INS) is described in the literature (P. Albers, G. Prescher, K. Seibold, D. K. Ross and F. Fillaux, Inelastic Neutron Scattering Study Of Proton Dynamics In Carbon Blacks, Carbon 34 (1996) 903 and P. Albers, K. Seibold, G. Prescher, B. Freund, S. F. Parker, J. Tomkinson, D. K. Ross, F. Fillaux, Neutron Spectroscopic Investigations On Different Grades Of Modified Furnace Blacks And Gas Blacks, Carbon 37 (1999) 437).
The INS (or IINS - inelastic incoherent neutron scattering) method offers some quite unique advantages for the more intensive characterisation of carbon blacks and activated carbons.

The INS (or IINS - inelastic incoherent neutron scattering) method offers some quite unique advantages for the more intensive characterisation of carbon blacks and activated carbons.
In addition to the proven elemental-analytical quantification of the H content, the INS method allows the in some cases very small hydrogen content in graphitised carbon blacks (about 100-250 ppm), carbon blacks (about 2000-4000 ppm in furnace carbon blacks) and in activated carbons (about 5000-12000 ppm in typical catalyst supports) to be broken down in greater detail in respect of its bond states.
The table below lists the values of the total hydrogen content of the carbon blacks, determined by CHN analysis (LECO RH-404 analyser with thermal conductivity detector).
In addition, the spectra integrals are given, which are determined as follows: integration of the regions of an INS
spectrum of 750-1000 cm1 (A), 1000-1250 cm 1(B) and 1250-2000 cm 1(C). The aromatic and graphitic H atoms are formed by the sum of the peak integral A and B.
The carbon blacks are introduced without further pretreatment into specially developed Al cuvettes (Al having a purity of 99.5 %, cuvette wall thickness 0.35 mm, cuvette diameter 2.5 cm). The cuvettes are hermetically sealed (flange gasket from Kalrez 0-ring).
