Catcons have been around for several decades. Originally, they were used in the petroleum refinement and synthesis industry. Then they became common in automobile engines as a way of removing NO2, SO2 and perhaps other contaminants from engine exhaust. None of these catcons used nanotubes--at least, until now. Of course, in the future, who's to say? I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that some new high-efficiency catcon uses nanotubes. ---------------- Hypography Forums Moderator -- - - - - - What concerns me is not the way things are, but rather the way people think things are.

| Curious | Re: Carbon Nano Tubes I should have been more specific, I wasnt asking if catcon's used carbon nano tubes, I was asking if they created carbon nanotubes. Catcons take CO, NOx, and HC and strip then apart and reassemble them to create CO2, H2O and N. I was told by a friend who worked in military who claimed catcons created carbon nanotubes, and that they pose a very serious health threat. I was unaware that catcons made carbon nanotubes, and just came on here to find out. | |

One study that I find interesting is outlined in the following news article: ES&T Online News: Nanotubes persist in natural environments As far as a catcon producing C nanotubes, it seems possible! ScienceDirect - Carbon : Flame synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes Quote:
