Abstract

A composite synthesis method and apparatus, a vaporizer for the composite synthesis apparatus, a vaporizer heater and a composite. In the composite synthesis apparatus using simultaneous vaporization, two or more vaporizers are heated by heaters such that samples vaporized by the vaporizers are supplied into a reactor to synthesize a composite. The apparatus and method may prepare multiple-metal or metal-carbon heterogeneous composites, and may be applied to various metal- and carbon-based adsorbents, absorbents, gas/liquid separation membranes and various catalyst processes. Further, the composite may be applied to various industrial fields through change in metal components or carbon structures.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A composite synthesis apparatus using simultaneous vaporization, comprising:
a first vaporizer which vaporizes a first sample for synthesis;
a second vaporizer which vaporizes a second sample to be synthesized with the first sample wherein the vaporizers are configured for simultaneous vaporization of the first and second samples respectively;
a first heater configured to heat the first vaporizer therein;
a second heater configured to heat the second vaporizer therein, wherein the first and second heater are each configured to simultaneously heat the respective vaporizers contained therein and wherein the first and second sample are vaporized independently of one another; and
a reactor to which a mixture of the first sample and the second sample vaporized by the first vaporizer and the second vaporizer is supplied, the reactor configured to synthesize a composite,
a gas supplier supplying gas for vaporizing the first sample and the second sample to the first vaporizer and the second vaporizer, and
wherein the first vaporizer and the second vaporizer each comprises:
a main body receiving the sample;
a sample supply section formed at one side of the main body, supplying the sample and provided at one end thereof with a sealing member for sealing the main body before and after supplying the sample;
a gas supply section formed at another side of the main body, supplying gas for vaporizing the sample from the gas supplier and provided with a stopcock for isolating the inside of the main body from the gas supplier;
a discharge section formed at an upper portion of the main body, discharging the vaporized sample and provided with a stopcock for isolating the inside of the main body from the reactor; and
wherein the first and second heater are each configured to receive a corresponding main body, sample supply section, gas supply section and discharge section therein and each heater thus configured to heat the main body, the sample supply section, the gas supply section and the discharge section therein for vaporizing the first and second samples respectively.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a reaction gas supplier supplying a reaction gas to the reactor for reaction between the first sample and the second sample.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a recycler returning unreacted gas discharged from the reactor to the reactor.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the main body is made of a vitreous material including Pyrex or quartz.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first sample is a solid precursor or a liquid precursor.

6. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first sample and the second sample are different metals.

7. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein one of the first sample and the second sample is a metal and the other sample is an organic material.

8. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first heater is an oven accommodating and heating the first vaporizer therein.

9. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first heater comprises:
a body having a space to accommodate the first vaporizer therein;
a heat wire disposed inside the body and heating the first vaporizer; and a fan circulating air inside the body.

10. The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a connecting pipe connecting the first vaporizer and the reactor, the connecting pipe being provided with a heat wire heating the vaporized sample passing through the connecting pipe.

11. A vaporizer for a composite synthesis apparatus using simultaneous vaporization, comprising:
a main body configured to receive a sample;
a sample supply section formed at one side of the main body configured to supply the sample to the main body and provided at one end thereof with a sealing member configured for sealing the main body before and after supplying the sample;
a gas supply section formed at another side of the main body, configured for supplying gas for vaporizing the sample to the main body and provided with a stopcock;
a discharge section formed at an upper portion of the main body and configured to discharge the vaporized sample to a reactor configured to synthesize a composite, the discharge section comprising a stopcock; and
a heater configured to receive the main body the sample supply section, the gas supply section and the discharge section therein and to heat the main body, the sample supply section, the gas supply section and the discharge section therein for vaporizing the sample.

12. The vaporizer according to claim 11 , wherein the main body is made of a vitreous material including Pyrex or quartz.

13. The vaporizer according to claim 11 , wherein the sample is a solid precursor or a liquid precursor.

14. The vaporizer according to claim 11 , wherein the sample is a metal or an organic material.
