Coke is what is left over from making gasoline, diesel, jet fuel etc.
It is an end byproduct.
Carbon black is basically an unburned ash, similar to charcoal.
With charcoal they take wood products and heat the crap out of em in an oxygen deficient atmosphere.
It does not allow the wood to burn but vaporizes all the oils and alcohols etc. What is left burns hot and slow. Charcoal.
Take tar or a heavy gas oil and put it through the same process and you'd get something like carbon black.
Now that may not be a 100% accurate description but that's the extent of what I remember about it.
We don't have anything to do with it here.
