    摘要: The present invention is used to produce long carbon nanotubes used, for example, in automobile and/or aircraft industry. An object of the invention is to obtain bundles of multi-walled and well oriented nanotubes of sufficient length and provide stability of continuous nanotubes producing process. The method comprises introducing a carbon-bearing component, a promoter and a precursor of a carbon nanotube growth catalyst in a carrier gas stream to form a mixture of these components; passing said mixture through the a reactor heated to an operating temperature of 1000° C. to 1200° C. and removing nanotubes formed in the reactor into a product receiver. The mixture is fed in the reactor from the bottom upwards at a linear flow velocity of 50 mm/c to 130 mm/c. When the temperature in the reactor reaches said operating temperature, the linear flow velocity of the mixture is decreased to 4-10 mm/c, and the linear flow velocity is increased to 30-130 mm/c at the outlet of the reactor. The apparatus comprises means for introducing the carbon-bearing component, the promoter and the precursor of the carbon nanotube growth catalyst in the carrier gas stream, a vertical reactor with a working chamber, means for heating the working chamber to the operating temperature, means for delivering the mixture to the working chamber of the reactor and means for removing products from the working chamber. The chamber is made of three successive sections, namely a lower inlet 16 section, a middle 17 section and an upper outlet 18 section and the diameter of the lower section 16 is ⅕ to ⅓ of the diameter of the middle section 17, while the diameter of the upper section 18 is from ¼ to ⅓ of the diameter of the middle section 17.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing a carbon nanotube fiber. The apparatus includes: a vertical reactor having a reaction zone; a concentric double-pipe inlet tube disposed on top of the reaction zone and consisting of an inner pipe through which a spinning feedstock including a spinning solution and a first gas is introduced into the reaction zone and an outer pipe defining a concentric annular portion surrounding the inner pipe and through which a second gas is introduced into the reaction zone; heating means for heating the reaction zone; and a discharge unit disposed under the bottom of the reaction zone to discharge a carbon nanotube fiber therethrough. The spinning feedstock entering the reaction zone through the inner pipe of the inlet tube is carbonized and graphitized while flowing from the top to the bottom of the reaction zone to form a carbon nanotube fiber consisting of a continuous sock (or aggregates) of carbon nanotubes. The second gas entering the reaction zone through the outer pipe of the inlet tube forms a gas curtain surrounding the circumference of the continuous sock of carbon nanotubes while flowing from the top to the bottom of the reaction zone. The gas curtain minimizes the contamination of the inner wall of the reactor and facilitates the discharge of the carbon nanotube fiber. Therefore, the apparatus of the present invention is suitable for the production of a carbon nanotube fiber in a continuous manner.

    摘要: Provided is a production apparatus (100) for continuously producing aligned carbon nanotube aggregates on a substrate supporting a catalyst while continuously transferring the substrate. The production apparatus (100) includes gas mixing prevention means (12, 13) for preventing gas present outside a growth furnace (3a) from flowing into the growth furnace (3a). The gas mixing prevention means (12, 13) includes: a seal gas ejection section (12b, 13b) for ejecting a seal gas along opening planes of (i) an opening of the growth furnace (3a) through which opening a catalyst substrate (10) is transferred into the growth furnace (3a) and (ii) an opening of the growth furnace (3a) through which opening the catalyst substrate (10) is transferred out of the growth furnace (3a); and an exhaust section (12a, 13a) for sucking and exhausting the seal gas out of the production apparatus (100), so that the seal gas does not flow into the growth furnace (3a) through the openings of the growth furnace (3a). The production apparatus (100) prevents the outside air from flowing into the production apparatus (100), uniformly controls, within a range suitable to production of CNTs, a concentration distribution(s) and a flow rate distribution(s) of a raw material gas and/or a catalyst activation material on the substrate, and does not disturb gas flow as much as possible in the growth furnace (3a).
