Method of producing carbon nanotubes in fluidized bed reactor
A method of producing carbon nanotubes in a fluidized bed reactor includes preparing a carbon nanotube by supplying a catalyst and a carbon source to an interior of the fluidized bed reactor having an internal pressure of 0.5 barg to 1.2 barg (gauge pressure), thereby improving the yield and purity of carbon nanotubes.
1. A method of producing multi-wall carbon nanotubes in a fluidized bed reactor, the method consisting of;
preparing a multi-wall carbon nanotube by supplying an iron-cobalt alloy catalyst and a carbon source to an interior of the fluidized bed reactor having an internal pressure of 0.7 barg to 1.0 barg (gauge pressure),
wherein the carbon source is one or more selected from the group consisting of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons having 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fluidized bed reactor has an internal temperature of 530° C. to 1100° C.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the multi-wall carbon nanotubes have a diameter of 0.4 nm to 10 nm.
