Opposite effects of gas flow rate on the rate of formation of carbon during the pyrolysis of ethane and acetylene on a nickel mesh catalyst

The importance of mass transfer in the formation of carbon on a nickel catalyst during the pyrolysis of ethane and acetylene was investigated. This included the formation of a composite of carbon fibre and amorphous carbon, using a non-porous nickel mesh catalyst in a tubular reactor at 750 °C. Incr...
