1、 Production of white carbon black by gas-phase method
Gas phase method is a high-end technology for producing white carbon black, mainly used for preparing high-quality white carbon black. The basic principle is to decompose silicon source compounds at high temperatures through chemical vapor deposition reactions, generating silicon dioxide particles. White carbon black produced by gas-phase method has high purity, high specific surface area, and good dispersibility, mainly used in high-performance rubber products, electronic materials, cosmetics and other fields.
The main advantage of gas-phase method is high product quality, but the production cost is relatively high. The production process requires high temperature and high pressure conditions, with strict requirements for equipment. In addition, the energy consumption of gas-phase method is relatively high, and the treatment of waste gas during the production process is also a major challenge.


2、 Production of white carbon black by precipitation method
The precipitation method is currently the most commonly used method for producing white carbon black. Its principle is to convert silicon source compounds into silicon dioxide precipitation in aqueous solution through chemical precipitation reaction. The precipitation method produces white carbon black with the advantages of low cost and high yield, but the product quality is relatively lower compared to the gas-phase method. The white carbon black produced by precipitation method is mainly used in general industrial fields such as rubber, plastics, and coatings.
The production process of precipitation method is relatively simple, mainly divided into steps such as preparation of sodium silicate solution, acidification reaction, filtration, drying, and calcination. In recent years, with the advancement of technology, the quality of white carbon black produced by precipitation method has been continuously improving. For example, by optimizing reaction conditions and adding modifiers, the specific surface area and dispersibility of white carbon black can be improved.


3、 The Development of Green Production Technology
With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the green production technology of white carbon black has become a research hotspot. The traditional production process of white carbon black generates a large amount of wastewater and exhaust gas, which has a certain impact on the environment. Therefore, developing low-energy and low pollution production processes has become an urgent task.
For example, some companies have begun to adopt new types of silicon source compounds, such as organosilane, to reduce wastewater generation. Meanwhile, by improving reaction equipment and processes, energy utilization efficiency can be enhanced and carbon emissions during the production process can be reduced. In addition, some research institutions are exploring new methods for producing white carbon black using biomass resources to achieve sustainable development.

4、 Future technological trends
In the future, the production technology of white carbon black will develop towards high efficiency, energy conservation, and environmental protection. On the one hand, through technological innovation, the quality of white carbon black produced by precipitation method can be further improved, narrowing the gap with gas-phase products. On the other hand, the development of new production methods, such as the application of nanotechnology in the production of white carbon black, will provide new avenues for improving the performance of white carbon black.

In short, the production technology of white carbon black is the foundation of its wide application. With the continuous advancement of technology, the production of white carbon black will become greener and more efficient, providing higher quality products for industrial development.
