This project will establish a collaborative relationship between the Combustion Research Laboratory (CRL) at the University of**Toronto and Columbian Chemical Canada Ltd d/b/a/ Birla Carbon ("company" and/or "sponsor"). Birla Carbon is one of the largest**manufacturers and suppliers of high quality carbon black additives globally. The purpose of this new partnership will be to improve**the quality of carbon black by closely examining the impacts of mixing, temperature, residence time and fuel properties during the**manufacturing process and proposing recommendations to better control the carbon particle size distribution.**Carbon black has usage potential across an array of diverse application segments including rubber products, black pigment, UV**protection and conductivity in plastics. Carbon black performance is determined by its fundamental properties including its particle**and aggregate size, surface activity and physical form.**The objectives of this project are to develop and validate a model to predict the carbon black particle size distribution during the**production process. This will increase our understanding of how the particles evolve during the process and will be used to better**understand ways to control the process to produce the desired final product.**CRL has been researching different aspects of formation of combustion generated carbon particles both experimentally and**numerically for more than a decade. The underlying processes involving formation and growth of soot and carbon black particles**are in general identical. Therefore, this project will allow CRL the opportunity to apply our extensive experience with soot particles**to a new area of application.

本项目将在 ** 多伦多大学的燃烧研究实验室（CRL）和哥伦比亚化学加拿大有限公司d/B/a/ Birla Carbon（“公司”和/或“赞助商”）之间建立合作关系。Birla Carbon是全球最大的高品质炭黑添加剂制造商和供应商之一。这一新的合作伙伴关系的目的是通过仔细检查混合、温度、停留时间和燃料特性在 ** 制造过程中的影响，并提出更好地控制碳颗粒尺寸分布的建议，来提高 ** 炭黑的质量。炭黑在橡胶产品、黑色颜料、紫外线防护和塑料导电性等一系列不同的应用领域具有潜在的用途。炭黑的性能取决于其基本性质，包括其颗粒 ** 和聚集体尺寸、表面活性和物理形态。本项目的目标是开发和验证一个模型，以预测在 ** 生产过程中的炭黑粒度分布。这将增加我们对颗粒在过程中如何演变的理解，并将用于更好地理解控制过程以生产所需最终产品的方法。CRL已经研究了燃烧产生的碳颗粒形成的不同方面的实验和 ** 数值超过十年。涉及烟灰和炭黑颗粒 ** 的形成和生长的基本过程通常是相同的。因此，该项目将使CRL有机会将我们在烟灰颗粒方面的丰富经验 ** 应用于新的应用领域。
