Synthesis of carbon nanotubes in updraft flow CVD reactor using mixed plastic as precursor
Effect of oxygen containing hydrocarbon gases obtained from pyrolysis of mixed plastic waste containing different proportions of polyethylene (PE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) over the yield and morphology of CNTs has been thoroughly studied. The PE as a precursor gives maximum CNT yield due to large proportion of CH4 and H2 in the pyrolysis gases. Pyrolysis of PET generates large amount of CO, CO2 and unsaturated hydrocarbons, which shows inactivity towards CNT growth. The result shows that increase in PET in plastic mixture decreases the yield of oil and CNTs.
