PLANT FOR PRODUCING FULLERENE-CONTAINING MATERIALS Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: production of fullerene-containing materials. SUBSTANCE: proposed plant is used for producing fullerenes and classifying them in continuous process, producing solvents and mixtures, as well as fullerene-containing materials from separated fullerenes. Carbon-containing material 3 is placed in reaction zone 2 of. working chamber 1. The latter is communicating with duct 4 for conveying fullerene-containing material to assembly 5. Slag is collected in bin 6. Chambers 7, 8, and 9 are designed to mix up fullerenes with fillers supplied from bins 10, 11, and 12. Assembly 5 used for selective classification of fullerenes communicates with bins 13, 14, and 15 for accumulating fullerenes of same class. Additional bins 16, 17, and 18 are meant for solvents such as polyethylene glycol, unsaturated fatty acid, and the like. Different fullerenes are mixed up with respective solvents in chambers 19, 20, and 21. Chambers 7, 8, and 9 are covered with sealing hood 22 communicating with vacuum unit 23 and filter 24. Chambers 19, 20, and 21 communicate with exhaust pneumatic system pumps 25 and with gas cleaning filters 26. Chambers 7, 8, and 9 are provided with acoustic-wave radiators 27, electromagnetic-wave radiators 28, and thermal field radiators 29. Assembly 5 has curvilinear passages with skew-cut holes, needles, and caverns for accumulating fullerenes. EFFECT: enlarged functional capabilities. 1 cl, 1 dwg
