Problems solved by technology

At present, the existing technologies only use a separate fluidized bed for reaction to prepare carbon nanotubes, and have not really realized continuous production, and cannot adjust the process conditions in a wide range, and it is difficult to control the fluidization state and mass transfer. Thermal stability, so continuous production of high-quality carbon nanotubes cannot be guaranteed
