Figure 4.26 shows a flow reactor of diameter D in which the downstream portion of the walls is catalytic. Assume that there is no gas-phase chemistry and that there is a single chemically active gas-phase species that is dilute in an inert carrier gas. For example, consider carbon-monoxide carried in air. Assume further a highly efficient catalyst that completely destroys any CO at the surface in other words, the gas-phase mass fraction of CO at the surface is zero. Upstream of the catalytic section, the CO is completely mixed with the carrier (i.e., a flat profile). The CO2 that desorbs from the catalyst is so dilute in the air that its behavior can be neglected. Thus the gas-phase and mass-transfer problem can be treated as a binary mixture of CO and air. The overall objective of this analysis is to... 

Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) can be prepared by laser-vaporization of a graphite source. A newer process uses carbon monoxide as the source of the carbon and is called the HiPco process. The catalyst is generated in situ from iron carbonyl. The SWNTs from the HiPco process are characterized by a smaller diameter and exhibit greater reactivity with organic reagents.

The preparation of single-walled nanotubes succeeds more easily by the so-called HiPCo-process that was published for the first time in 1998. The name is deduced from high-pressure carbon monoxide and signifies a crucial aspect of the method Here the carbon source is not a hydrocarbon, but carbon monoxide that does not suffer pyrolysis at the relevant temperatures. The formation of carbon material is based on the Boudouard equilibrium (3.9) ...
