Abstract:

This study is focused on the design of a novel plasma jet chemical vapour deposition (CVD) reactor for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using carbon waste. The use of this reactor for the synthesis of these materials was fully described in this study. The process parameters involved such as the pyrolysis temperatures of the plasma torch, the pressure, the nature of the catalyst employed and the carbon source were all discussed. This technique was also investigated for the synthesis of both the single walled and multi walled carbon nanotubes, and the optimization of the process parameters for both syntheses was also investigated.
