Method for continuous production of catalysts for synthesis of carbon nanotubes

A new method for continuous production of carbon nanotube (CNT) catalysts is proposed in this study. The method is a modification of the solution combustion synthesis and was called continuous solution combustion synthesis (CSCS). The method consists of the atomization of the modified combustion synthesis precursor solution in a pilot flame. A combustible, like ethanol, is added to the precursor solution to improve the evaporation of the solvent and the atomization. The ignition of the precursor solution is self‐sufficient. A fine and porous powder is produced. The powder, collected through an electrostatic precipitator, has superior performance as a carbon nanotube catalyst. When comparing the production of Fe–Mo/MgO catalyst synthesized by the continuous method with the conventional route, it was observed that the amount of carbon nanotubes increased by 52 wt%, and the G/D ratio was also higher.
