Effect of reaction time and catalyst feed rate towards carbon nanotubes yields and purity by using rotary reactor

Continuous production of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method was investigated in a rotary reactor. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of catalyst feeding rate and reaction time on the MWCNTs production yield and purity. Bimetallic Co-Mo su...
