Abstract: This disclosure relates to an improved furnace process for producing carbon blacks by the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbonaceous feedstock wherein the resultant blacks have higher surface areas than the carbon blacks normally prepared from the feedstocks, as a result of which the blacks are particularly suitable for use in imparting conductivity properties to plastic materials and the like. This disclosure also relates to the production of a novel class of furnace blacks having excellent conductivity properties and which are characterized by high surface areas and low pH values.

Abstract: Novel feed grade calcium phosphate compositions are provided which contain calcium chlorophosphate in varying amounts. This novel composition and other heretofore known varieties of feed grade calcium phosphates are prepared by low temperature drying steps (spray drying or crystallization-evaporation) of solutions or slurries which have been partially defluorinated to the extent that the solution P/F ratio is at least 30-35 but less than 100. The novel compositions described above have adequate levels of phosphorus availability to animals thereby permitting their usage as an animal feed supplement.
