A sulfur-carbon composite includes a porous carbon material. and sulfur on at least a portion of inside and a surface of the porous carbon material. The sulfur-carbon composite is prepared by heat treating a porous carbon material under an inert gas atmosphere, and by mixing the heat-treated porous carbon material with sulfur.

The invention relates to a process for converting used tyres to obtain carbon black, comprising the following steps: a) sending a solid feedstock based on used tires to a reaction zone in the presence of a liquid solvent to obtain a vapor effluent and a first liquid effluent comprising the carbon black, b) sending the liquid effluent to a filtration and washing unit to obtain a filtered and washed carbon black cake and a second liquid effluent; c) sending said vapor effluent and the second liquid effluent to a fractionation zone to obtain at least one hydrocarbon cut; d) sending said hydrocarbon cut obtained at the end of step c) to the reaction zone as liquid solvent of step a); e) drying the carbon black cake.

A method of separating combustible gasses from the pores of carbon black. A method of making carbon black in a reactor is described that results in a high concentration of combustible gasses contained in the pores of the carbon black produced. The combustible gasses contained in the pores are replaced with inert gas to render the carbon black safer to process in downstream equipment.
