Yp. Zhang et al., Carbon black and carbon nano-tubes produced from acetylene using non-thermal plasmas at atmospheric pressure, CHEM LETT, (10), 2000, pp. 1204-1205
DC pulsed corona discharge plasmas have been applied for the co-generation
of carbon black and carbon nano-tubes from acetylene and hydrogen under amb
ient conditions. The carbon nano-tubes thus produced were analyzed by trans
mission electron microscopy. In the case of pure acetylene feed, only carbo
n black is produced.
