Mechanochemical Treatment of Amorphous Carbon from Peat Sphagnum Moss to form Carbon Nanotubes

CZU 544.723

Under consideration is the mechanism of the formation of multiwalled nanotubes in the mechanical activation of amorphous carbon synthesized by pyrolysis of sphagnum moss. The formation of nanotubes is shown to take place in the array of carbon particles. The complex study of the sorption characteristics of carbon nanotubes has been carried out. The dependence of the sorption capacity of carbon nanotubes on the time of storage as well as the effect of the process parameters on the formation of nanotubes on their ability to oxidative modification are presented.

Keywords: moss sphagnum fuscum, high-energy processing, mechanoactivation, sorption capacity.
