Production of nanoscale detonation carbon using a pulse gas-detonation device

Combustion and thermal decomposition of hydrocarbon fuels are used to produce different forms of carbon. Combustion in the detonation mode is of particular interest, as nanocarbon obtained under these conditions differs in properties from products synthesized by other techniques. A pulsed gas-detonation device designed on the basis of a CCDS2000 detonation spraying facility opens up new possibilities for manufacturing of nanocarbon. The device operates in a flow mode of gas supply into the reactor at the atmospheric pressure, which ensures high productivity and industrial safety of this method. Using detonation of acetylene-oxygen mixtures rich in acetylene, nanoscale carbon was obtained with particle morphology depending on the ratio of the components in the gaseous mixture.
