Initial Situation:

Surplus of C-residuals

• Many carbon containing residuals are yet either burned or landfilled
• The chemical potential of carbon containing residuals often remains unused, since economically feasible processes for the recycling of carbon containing residuals are not established.
• Examples for C-containing residuals or by-products:
  • Polymeric residues
  • Carbon black

Shortage of C-nanomaterial

• Carbon-nanomaterials have many desired properties
• Possible applications are manifold:
  • Additive in composite materials
  • Functional component in coatings

Objectives:

• Development of a new process concept for the manufacturing of carbon nano materials
• Upcycle of residuals

Agenda:

• Conceptual design and construction of an experimental setup for the re-crystallisation
• Investigation of optimal conditions for recrystallisation of Carbon
  • Composition of the fusible alloy
  • Temperature control
  • Influence of feedstock material
• Injection of carbon containing material
• Conceptual design for the separation of the carbon nano material from the melt
• Investigation of the chemical composition and morphology of the carbon nano material

• circular economy
• recycling
• recycling management
• reuse
• secondary raw material
