Abstract
Provided herein are methods, devices and systems for processing of carbonaceous compositions. The processing may include the manufacture (or synthesis) of oxidized forms of carbonaceous compositions and/or the manufacture (or synthesis) of reduced forms of oxidized carbonaceous compositions. Some embodiments provide methods, devices and systems for the manufacture (or synthesis) of graphite oxide from graphite and/or for the manufacture (or synthesis) of reduced graphite oxide from graphite oxide.
Claims20
A reaction system comprising:
- a) a reaction vessel comprising graphite, the vessel comprising:
- i) a reaction mixer mounted to the vessel, the reaction mixer in fluid communication with the vessel;
- and
- ii) a reaction agitator mechanically coupled to the reaction mixer, wherein the reaction agitator is configured to agitate the graphite in the vessel and configured to facilitate conversion of graphite into graphene oxide;
- b) a tank comprising:
- i) a tank mixer mounted to the tank, the tank mixer in fluid communication with the tank, and the tank is configured to dispense ice;
- and
- ii) a tank agitator mechanically coupled to the tank mixer, wherein the tank agitator is configured to agitate the graphene oxide in the tank after the graphene oxide has been transferred to the tank;
- wherein the reaction system is configured to transfer the graphene oxide from the reaction vessel to the tank.
