Abstract
The catalytic combustion of carbon black was investigated in the presence of CeO2 and Al2O3. The influence of contact type between carbon particles and these oxides was examined by thermal analysis, the BET specific area, and EPR spectroscopy. For tight contact carbon black-catalyst mixtures, a new paramagnetic species is observed and can be considered as a fingerprint of the contact between the two solids. These new paramagnetic species increase the reactivity of the catalytic reaction of carbon black (CB) combustion and take part in the oxidation mechanism of CB.
