Continuous extraction technique for the purification of carbon nanomaterials

摘要: Systems and methods for the purification of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by continuous liquid extraction are disclosed. Carbon introduced to a flow that enables separation CNTs from impurities due differences in dispersibility within liquid. Examples such may include amorphous carbon, graphitic nanoparticles, metal containing nanoparticles. The process be performed one or more stages, where parameters varied between stages order effect removal selected CNTs. include, but not limited to, liquid, rate agitation pH varied, depending on impurity removed
