CBO (Carbon Black Oil)
Description
Carbon Black Oil (CBO) is a co-product by steam cracking hydrocarbons (naphtha, gasoil, gas condensate) under high temperature in the presence of steam to produce the olefins ethylene and propylene. No catalysts are used during cracking. CBO consists mainly of unsaturated hydrocarbons, predominantly higher than C14.
