Question 1

Answer

LOTUS CARBON & ENERGY GLOBAL brings the circular economy to tyres. We enable the production of valuable raw materials (Carbon Black) from end-of-life tyres for re-use in tyres, technical rubber products, plastics, paint and ink. We provide technology, product development and marketing and sales expertise of our Carbon Black products. While we are primarily focussed on the production of high quality Carbon Black, the process also yields two other important products – tyre pyrolytic oil (TPO) and tyre pyrolytic gas (TPG). TPO can be used as a fuel, chemical feedstock or as carbon black feedstock oil and provides as such an additional income stream to our business model. The TPG is a high calorific gas which can be converted to heat, electricity or steam and can be used in our own production proces. We partner with tyre collectors and offer our high quality products as raw materials to the Industry.

Question 2

Answer

Carbon Black is a form of elemental carbon that is manufactured by the controlled vapor-phase pyrolysis and partial combustion of hydrocarbons. Occurring as a fine black powder, Carbon Black is used to providing structure and durability in tyres and jet-black coloration in inks, plastics and rubber. Several processes have been used to produce Carbon Black, including the oil-furnace, impingement (channel), lampblack, thermal (decomposition of natural gas) and acetylene (decomposition) processes — in addition to Black Bear’s proven carbonization pyrolysis method. Carbon Blacks are commonly referred to by the process or the source material from which they are made, e.g. furnace black, lamp black, thermal black, acetylene black and channel black. The different grades from the various processes have certain unique characteristics, but it is now possible to produce reasonable approximations of most of these grades using the oil-furnace process, by which more than 95% of the total output of Carbon Black is produced.
