Abstract
Carbon nanotubes CNTs were synthesized from natural petroleum gas as a source of carbon by using modifying strategies, higher in safety, friendly for environmental and cheep in coast. The benefits of green chemistry in this work represent by: i- abilities to prepare different types of carbon nanotubes, ii- the natural petroleum gas play two roles which as a source of carbon and energy could built the tubular stricture of carbon atoms, iii- the possibility of using resulting heat from the reactor in multiple applications such as heating and distillation of different fluids in controlled system. The process of synthesis were done in atmospheric of nitrogen and carbon monoxide gas with ratios of 20:80% and flow rate for the mixture 500 cm3/min. The synthesized CNTs were characterized by using Raman spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy SEM, Transmissions electron microscopy TEM and Thermal gravimetric analysis TGA.
