Süsinikivalgeid

Süsinikivalgeid is an Estonian term that translates to "carbon whites" in English. This term is primarily used in the context of industrial processes and environmental science, particularly when discussing the byproducts of combustion or certain manufacturing activities. It refers to finely divided particles composed mainly of carbon, often in an amorphous or less ordered crystalline structure, that are suspended in a gaseous medium or have settled out.

These carbon whites can arise from incomplete combustion of organic materials, such as in power plants or internal combustion engines, where they are often referred to as soot or particulate matter. In industrial settings, they might be a result of chemical reactions or thermal processes involving carbon-based substances. The exact chemical composition and physical properties of süsinikivalgeid can vary significantly depending on the source and the conditions under which they are formed.

Due to their small particle size, süsinikivalgeid can remain airborne for extended periods and pose potential environmental and health concerns. Their presence in the atmosphere contributes to air pollution and can affect visibility. In some specific industrial applications, however, controlled production of carbon-rich white particles might be utilized for their unique material properties.
