A product produced by a process that includes shredding a set of tires into a volume of tire rubber segments, the set of tires selected from car tires and truck tires such that specific percentage amounts of rubber from car tires and rubber from truck tires are included within the volume of tire rubber segments. The process additionally including thermally depolymerizing the volume of tire rubber segments into a volume of carbonaceous material; comminuting the volume of carbonaceous material; removing from the volume of carbonaceous material agglomerates larger than the maximum agglomerate diameter; within a mixer, mixing the volume of carbonaceous material with a binding agent over a first interval, the mixer inducing formation of a set of pellets of a range of pellet diameters; and removing from the set of pellets a first subset of pellets larger than a maximum pellet size.

One variation for a method for converting tires into pelletized, recovered carbon black includes: splicing a set of tires into a volume of tire rubber segments, the set of tires selected from a group comprising an agricultural tire, a commercial tire, and a passenger tire; in a pyrolytic reactor, thermally depolymerizing the volume of tire rubber segments into a volume of carbonaceous material; comminuting the volume of carbonaceous material; removing from the volume of carbonaceous material agglomerates larger than the maximum agglomerate diameter; within a mixer, mixing the volume of carbonaceous material with a binding agent over a first interval, the mixer inducing formation of a set of pellets of a range of pellet diameters; drying the set of pellets within a dryer to a particular moisture content; and removing from the set of pellets a first subset of pellets larger than a maximum pellet size.

A carbon black pellet comprising a plurality of agglomerates, aggregates, or primary carbon black particles and a binder including a functional polymer.

A carbon black pellet comprising a plurality of agglomerates, aggregates, or primary carbon black particles and a binder including a functional polymer.

Particles with suitable properties may be generated using systems and methods provided herein. The particles may include carbon particles.

A manufacturing process for an anti-dust and easily dispersible carbon black pigment is disclosed herein. The pigment is convenient to handle and does not generate potentially hazardous airborne particles during transportation or during any suitable processing conditions employed in end applications in the relevant industry including cosmetics, paint or ink.

A method for preparing a preblend of nanostructured carbon, such as nanotubes, fullerenes, or graphene, and a particulate solid, such as polymer beads, carbon black, graphitic particles or glassy carbon involving wet-mixing and followed by optional drying to remove the liquid medium. The preblend may be in the form of a core-shell powder material with the nanostructured carbon as the shell on the particulate solid core. The preblend may provide particularly improved dispersion of single-walled nanotubes in ethylene--olefin elastomer compositions, resulting in improved reinforcement from the nanotubes. The improved elastomer compositions may show simultaneous improvement in both modulus and in elongation at break. The elastomer compositions may be formed into useful rubber articles.
