Abstract
Systems and a method for removing carbon nanotubes from a continuous reactor effluent are provided herein. The method includes flowing the continuous reactor effluent through a separation vessel, separating carbon nanotubes from the continuous reactor effluent in the separation vessel, and generating a stream including gaseous components from the continuous reactor effluent.
Claims31
A system for removing carbon nanotubes from a continuous reactor effluent, comprising a separation vessel configured to:
- isolate the carbon nanotubes from the continuous reactor effluent;
- and
- generate a stream comprising gaseous components from the continuous reactor effluent.
A method for removing carbon nanotubes from a continuous reactor effluent, comprising:
- flowing the continuous reactor effluent through a separation vessel;
- separating carbon nanotubes from the continuous reactor effluent in the separation vessel;
- and
- generating a stream comprising gaseous components from the continuous reactor effluent.
A system for creating a purified stream of carbon nanotubes from a gas flow, comprising:
- a separation system configured to generate a first purified stream of the carbon nanotubes and a first residual stream comprising gaseous components from the gas flow;
- and
- a filtration system configured to generate a second purified steam of the carbon nanotubes and a second residual stream comprising impurities from the first purified stream of the carbon nanotubes.
