Electrodischarge method for synthesizing nanocarbon from gaseous raw hydrocarbons

A new method for electrodischarge synthesizing nanocarbon has been elaborated, which provides high gradients of temperatures and pressure at the expense of a high rate of energy input into the plasma channels. The morphological structure of the produced nanocarbon is uniform, the characteristic dimensions of the particles are in the range from 9 to 50 nm, and the content of chemically pure carbon amounts up to 97% (with the balance being O 2 ), so it is possible to avoid the labor-consuming operation of clearing nanocarbon when producing it through the electrodischarge method.
