METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MANUFACTURING CARBON NANOTUBE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for efficiently manufacturing a carbon nanotube in large quantities and to provide a device for efficiently manufacturing the carbon nanotube in large quantities. SOLUTION: The carbon nanotube can be more efficiently manufactured by using a chemical vapor deposition method (CVD method) which is simple in operation and using the device in which a reaction tube installed in a heating furnace is rotated to stir a solid catalyst and to bring the solid catalyst into uniform contact with a carbon-containing compound in order to bring the solid catalyst into efficient contact with the carbon-containing compound in 500-1200°C and using a device in which the reaction tube is inclined and rotated to continuously supply the solid catalyst and the raw material carbon-containing compound and to continuously discharge a produced carbon nanotube.
