Normally when anyone says "carbon" they mean pure elemental carbon. Carbon black is an industrial or practical name for various forms of soot. Commercially carbon black is enormously important - it is the black in very many everyday items, especially plastics. It is made by controlled incomplete combustion of various fuels and the way it is made affects particle size and trace contaminants. In use, both the size and contaminants are extremely important as they make the product lore or less suitable for any particular use.
