METHOD OF PRODUCING CARBON NANOMATERIALS AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC C01B31/02 B82B3/00 B82Y40/00 

FIELD: nanotechnology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of nanotechnology, and can be used to produce nanotubes and fullerenes. The carbonaceous material is evaporated in the volumetric thermal plasma, and condensed on the outer surface of the anode 2 and the inner surface of the cathode 3. A glow-discharge plasma is used, which is set by electrical voltage supply sufficient to break the inter-electrode gap between the coaxial hollow cathode 3 having a shape of a cup with a permeable bottom 4, and the anode 2 located with the ability to move axially. The carbonaceous material is fed through the permeable bottom 4 of the cathode 3 and is selected from the group consisting of methane, propane, butane for gaseous carbonaceous material or from the group consisting of crude oil, oil fuel, benzene, gas oil for liquid carbonaceous material. The bottom 4 is made in the form of a grid or a membrane.

EFFECT: invention enables to reduce the power consumption of the process, to broaden the types of the used hydrocarbon crude, to simplify the design of the device and to provide the ecological compatibility of the process and its high performance.
