Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The disclosure provides for methods of oxidizing carbide anions, or negative ions, from salt like carbides at low temperatures below about 600° C. In another aspect, the disclosure provides for reactions with intermediate transition metal carbides. In yet another aspect, the disclosure provides for a system of reactions where salt-like carbide anions and intermediate carbide anions are oxidized to produce pure carbon of various allotropes.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for the production of carbon with a diamond or graphene like structure comprising: chemically oxidatively reacting a ground carbide chemical compound with an anhydrous molten metal salt reactant at a reaction temperature of below 600° C. in an oxygen, moisture free environment to form a reaction product comprising carbon from the oxidation of the ground carbide chemical compound and also to form a reaction product which is elemental metal from the reduction of the cation of the anhydrous metal salt, wherein the chemical oxidative reaction takes place in the anhydrous molten metal salt, and wherein the anhydrous metal salt is used in excess with respect to the ground carbide chemical compound. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the carbide is aluminum carbide, the metal salt is stannous chloride, and the reaction temperature is below 300° C. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the excess is an excess of at least twice the stoichiometric ratio, and wherein the reaction temperature is 280° C. or below. 4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the carbon comprises carbon with a diamond like structure. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the carbide is calcium carbide, wherein the metal salt is zinc chloride, and wherein the reaction temperature is below 600° C. 6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the excess is an excess of at least twice the stoichiometric ratio, and wherein the reaction temperature is 425° C. or below. 7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the carbon comprises carbon with a diamond like structure. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the carbide is calcium carbide, wherein the metal salt is stannous chloride, and wherein the reaction temperature is below 300° C. 9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the excess is an excess of at least twice the stoichiometric ratio, and wherein the reaction temperature is 280° C. or below. 10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the carbon comprises carbon with a graphene like structure.
