DEVICE FOR OBTAINING FULLERENE CONTAINING SOOT Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C01B31/02 B82B3/00 

FIELD: chemistry; electricity.

SUBSTANCE: proposed device contains a cold airtight chamber filled with helium. On opposite walls of the camera casing 1 with the help of ports 4 and 5 anode current leads 6 and 7 are installed, in which electrodes 8 and 9 in the form of rods are placed in line with each other. Current leads 6 and 7 are connected to different power sources. Between rods 8 and 9 is placed a graphite electrode in the form of disk 10 with the formation of a discharge gap between them. Disk 10 is installed in a fixed position on the cathode current 11, which is placed on the upper flange of camera 2 and is connected to the electric motor 12 for ensuring the possibility of the rotation of disk 10 on a plane parallel to the plane of flange 2. Burnt rods 8 and 9 are installed with the capability of moving in the discharge gap zone. On the outside of ports 4 and 5 are connected vacuum loaders of rods 13 each of which consists of cover 14, connected to its own port 4 and 5, vibration-layer 15, which contains the reserve rods, supply device, made, for example in the form of a closed chain for supply 16 tooth-pushers 17 with the capability of catching and moving rods 8 and 9, and intermittent drive 18. Cathode current lead 11 is supplied with knives 19 to prevent the possibility of outgrowths forming on disk 10. The lower flange 3 is connected to the soot accumulator 20.

EFFECT: doubling the productivity of the device with continuous submission of the burnt rods to the zone of the discharge gap due to the organisation of two arc processes in one chamber.
