| Abstract: | This study calculates energy requirements for fullerene and nanotube synthesis from literature data and presents the energy requirements for a number of important production processes, including fluidized bed and floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition (CVD), carbon monoxide disproportionation, pyrolysis, laser ablation, and electric arc and solar furnace synthesis. To produce data for strategic forward-looking assessments of the environmental implications of carbon nanoparticles, an attempt is made to balance generality with sufficient detail for individual processes, trade-off that will likely be inherent in the analysis of many nanotechnologies. |
