Vapor carbon

Processes rendered obsolete by the propylene ammoxidation process (51) include the ethylene cyanohydrin process (52—54) practiced commercially by American Cyanamid and Union Carbide in the United States and by I. G. Farben in Germany. The process involved the production of ethylene cyanohydrin by the base-cataly2ed addition of HCN to ethylene oxide in the liquid phase at about 60°C. A typical base catalyst used in this step was diethylamine. This was followed by liquid-phase or vapor-phase dehydration of the cyanohydrin. The Hquid-phase dehydration was performed at about 200°C using alkah metal or alkaline earth metal salts of organic acids, primarily formates and magnesium carbonate. Vapor-phase dehydration was accomphshed over alumina at about 250°C. 

High process temperatures generally not achievable by other means are possible when induction heating of a graphite susceptor is combined with the use of low conductivity high temperature insulation such as flake carbon interposed between the coil and the susceptor. Temperatures of 3000°C are routine for both batch or continuous production. Processes include purification, graphitization, chemical vapor deposition, or carbon vapor deposition to produce components for the aircraft and defense industry. Figure 7 illustrates a furnace suitable for the production of aerospace brake components in a batch operation. 

Graphite was tised as substrate for the deposition of carbon vapor. Prior to the tube and cone studies, this substrate was studied by us carefully by STM because it may exhibit anomalotis behavior w ith unusual periodic surface structures[9,10]. In particular, the cluster-substrate interaction w as investigated IJ. At low submonolayer coverages, small clusters and islands are observed. These tend to have linear struc-tures[12j. Much higher coverages are required for the synthesis of nanotubes and nanocones. In addition, the carbon vapor has to be very hot, typically >3000°C. We note that the production of nanotubes by arc discharge occurs also at an intense heat (of the plasma in the arc) of >3000°C.

Thus, if a sample of gas contain ten per cent, of hydrocarbons, of which ono volume contains three of carbon vapor, the quantity of olefiant gas to which this ton per cent, is equivalent will be fifteen. 

In contrast, carbon vapor generated in a carbon arc deposits mixtures of thermally equilibrated C(1S), C(3D), and C(3P) atoms on the walls of the reaction vessel, where they can be reacted with olefins.16 The most energetic and shortest-lived species, CX S), apparently forms allenes and inserts into C—H bonds. The Q1/)) atoms yield spiro-pentanes by two stereospecific addition steps. After long periods only ground state C(3P) atoms remain, and they add to olefins partially stereospecifically as shown below to yield isomeric spiropentanes.
