A gas delivery system and method for delivering reactants such as a first gas through a first conduit and a second gas through at least one second conduit, for example, through a plurality of second conduits. The plurality of second conduits may each have a length, wherein at least a portion of the length is entirely disposed within the first conduit. In an implementation, the first conduit may deliver carbon monoxide and the one or more second conduits may deliver carbon monoxide doped with a catalyst such as iron pentacarbonyl. The first and second gases may be introduced into a reaction vessel such as a reactor chamber and used to form carbon nanotubes.

A continuous particle manufacturing apparatus comprises a particle drawing section configured to draw particles out of a processing container, a sorting section configured to sort the particles drawn by the particle drawing section into processed particles and unprocessed particles, a discharge section to which the processed particles sorted out by the sorting section are discharged, and a particle returning section configured to return, into the processing container, the unprocessed particles sorted out by the sorting section, the particle returning section being configured to blow the unprocessed particles toward an inner wall surface of the processing container together with an air stream.

Device for treating particles having a vortex chamber defined by end walls at both ends and a circular wall, a rotation imparting device with a fluid feeder arranged in a mainly tangential direction, a particle outlet and a central fluid outlet, an auxiliary chamber coaxially arranged with the vortex chamber defining a treating zone, which auxiliary chamber has a circular outer wall and an end wall and opens into the vortex chamber through an opening in the end wall of the vortex chamber opposite the central fluid outlet, a device for injecting particles coaxially into the treating zone, and a device for feeding a treating fluid into the treating zone in mainly axial direction, wherein the ratio of the area of the opening to the cross-sectional area of the vortex chamber is less than 0.50.

Vortex arc reactor apparatus and method provide a nozzle with converging, throat, and diverging portions. Input structure inputs a reactant and an oxidant into the converging portion. Ignition structure ignites the input reactant and oxidant. A vortex-creating structure creates a vortex of the ignited reactant and oxidant in the converging portion. The input structure, the vortex-creating structure, and the nozzle converging and throat portions are configured to provide a throat-portion-vortex of ignited reactant and oxidant that has an angular velocity which provides (i) negatively-charged particles in an exterior portion of the throat-portion-vortex, (ii) positively-charged particles in an interior portion of the throat-portion-vortex, and (iii) at least one arcing reaction between the positively-charged particles and the negatively-charged particles, to form syngas and at least one aromatic liquid in the nozzle diverging portion. Gas/liquid separation structure is preferably configured to separate the formed syngas from the at least one aromatic liquid.

The disclosure discloses a method for preparing calcium oxide using multistage suspension preheater kiln. The steps of the method are: (1) the limestone powder is fed to the multistage suspension preheater kiln for preheating to 800 C. to 900 C.; (2) A preheated material is fed to a decomposition furnace, and calcined at 900 C. to 1100 C. for 25 s to 35 s; (3) A calcined material is fed to a rotary kiln, and calcined at 1100 C. to 1300 C. for 25 to 35 minutes, and finally cooled to obtain calcium oxide.
