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.

Provided is a method for easily and quickly removing water from a carbonaceous material dispersion without impairing the stability of the dispersion. A method for dehydrating carbonaceous material dispersion in which carbonaceous material particles are dispersed in an organic dispersing medium, the method being characterized in that it has a process in which a dry inert gas of 6 to 30 L relative to 100 g of the dispersion is blown into the dispersion maintained at 20 to 120 C., and the dispersion is brought into contact with the dry inert gas so that the water in the dispersion is evaporated.

The present application relates to a colorant tablet comprising: a) at least one pigment; and b) at least one adjuvant. A pigment may be an organic pigment, and inorganic pigment, or combinations thereof. The pigment may be an insoluble pigment. An adjuvant may be a carbonate. The adjuvant may further comprise at least one acid. The colorant tablet may be at least partially dissolved in a solvent (including water) prior to adding to a formulation or directly into a formulation. The formulation may be a coating. A method of forming the colorant tablet is also disclosed.

A composite polymer composition comprising partially crystallized carbon black. The composition exhibits superior thermal transfer properties in plastic formulations. The polymer precursor exhibits excellent rheology when compared to similar compositions comprising traditional carbon blacks. The composite polymers provide for higher loading of more thermally conductive carbon blacks in a variety of composite polymer compositions.
