GASSMAKS-Økt verdiskaping fra naturgass

Gasplas cold plasma cracking of natural gas to carbon polymers

Tildelt: kr 0,25 mill.

This pre-project will bring together some leading researchers on the topic in order to define the most central R&D challenges for the main project. Since this is - to our knowledge - the first microwave plasma reformer that makes continuous growth of CNTs and CNPs possible, the main project will be advanced over prior art and exploring unmapped territory. Therefore there is a vital need for a pre-project to bring together the best knowledge available to create a research strategy for the main project. A mong the relevant research questions to consider are: -what distance from the plasma zone is the optimal to introduce substrate particles for CNT and CNP growth? -What substrate materials and catalysts are the most conducive to promote the growth of the w anted types of CNT and CNP? -What parameters of pressure, temperature, gas speed flows, CH4/ H2 mix ratios, etc, seem the most promising to start empirical research? -What is the optimum residency time for carbon particles/polymers in the cyclonic aftergl ow chamber? -Can CNT and CNP?s be re-introduced (recycled) for further growth? Literature reviews, workshops and intensive scientific dialogues among consortium participants will be executed as part of the preproject.
