Formation of carbon nanofibers via carbon monoxide disproportionation

Evolution of the Characteristics of Soot Formed from Liquid Hydrocarbons in an Electric Arc in the Course of the Process

“…The decomposition of hydrocarbons, especially, high-molecular-weight ones, in an electric arc leads to the formation of not only acetylene-containing gas but also significant amounts of soot. Nikolaev and coauthors [13][14][15][16][17] proposed a scheme for the integrated use of electrocracking products and considered the results of studies on the production of a wide range of different materials on their basis. Materials synthe-sized with the participation of dispersed carbon formed in the course of decomposition occupy a large place among them.…”
