This disclosure belongs to the field of
carbon nanotube preparation technology, and provides a
system and method for the continuous preparation of array-type carbon nanotubes. The
system includes a reaction vessel, an atomization
system, a
pyrolysis furnace, a classifier, a feeder, and a CVD
fluidized bed connected in sequence. Preparation method: The catalyst is designed with the
chemical formula Fe. a Co b Ni c Mg d Al e Mo f Mn g V h The catalyst solution was prepared according to the stoichiometric ratio of the above
chemical formula, and the reaction was carried out sequentially in the above system to finally obtain arrayed carbon nanotubes. This disclosure utilizes the rapid and one-step characteristics of
spray pyrolysis, combined with precise catalyst structure design, to obtain a catalyst with high-density active sites and small
active site particle size, achieving efficient, continuous, and controllable preparation from molecular precursors to high-performance arrayed carbon nanotubes. Furthermore, the
spray pyrolysis method can be used to prepare catalysts with
high activity and low
bulk density, which is beneficial for CVD
fluidized bed production of arrayed carbon nanotubes.
