Formation of carbon material on nickel catalyst during reaction with the vapour produced from the pyrolysis of sewage sludge: article

It is a research on the formation of carbon material on nickel catalyst during reaction with the vapour produced from the pyrolysis of sewage sludge. The method used for carbon nanotube (CNT) production is the catalytic chemical vapour deposition (CCVD) method. In this research, the nickel catalyst act as the catalyst for carbon nanotube (CNT) production. The catalyst preparation also plays an important role in carbon nanotube growth rate. The nickel catalyst undergoes the incipient wetness impregnation (IWI) since the method is more faster, inexpensive, and the final property and configuration can be control in advance. The nickel catalyst were characterized by using FTIR and TGA.
