Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Carbon black powder manufacturing workers produce carbon black powder used to enhance the strength of rubber and plastics or impart conductivity. They handle a series of processes from raw material blending to reaction control in high-temperature furnaces, powder processing, and quality inspection.
Description
Carbon black powder manufacturing workers use raw materials such as raw oil and natural gas to control carbonization and oxidation in high-temperature furnaces, generating and recovering fine carbon particles. After generation, they handle processes up to drying, pulverization, classification, and packaging. They adjust device temperatures and pressures, manage dust collection equipment, measure particle size and specific surface area, etc., to stabilize production and maintain quality. Exhaust gas treatment and maintenance inspections are also important tasks for complying with environmental regulations.
Future Outlook
Demand for carbon black is expected to remain stable due to needs from the rubber and plastics industries and increased tire manufacturing for electric vehicles. Stricter environmental regulations and development of high-performance products will increasingly require expertise in process improvement and quality management.
